IPDS environment
Host environments
The system emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the
Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can
print in all the following PSF environments:
•
MVS
•
VM (channel-attached only)
•
VSE (channel-attached only)
•
OS/2
•
OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)
•
AIX
NOTE: Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a
printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can
attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or
InfoPrint Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the printer.
NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software
level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full
color is v.3.2.
The NPS/IPS can be set up to receive data from the IBM host in
one of two ways:
•
Through a bus and tag channel connection.
NOTE: If your system will be channel-attached, the printer
controller requires an additional component—a channel
interface board and channel cable connector box that serve
as an interface between the IBM host and the printer
controller.
•
Through a Token Ring or Ethernet interface using TCP/IP.
NOTE: Your system supports only one other connectivity
option in addition to Ethernet. For example, Ethernet and
channel connection or Ethernet and Token Ring.
NOTE: A transmission rate of at least 16 megabits per
second should be used with a Token Ring interface. (Overall
performance depends on network traffic and job density.)
