Mainframe connections

You may use several different formats to connect your mainframe to 
the DocuPrint IPS printer. The various connection formats are 
described and pictured in this section.

Note that on this platform, the PSF control functions are IPDS 
emitters only.

Direct Bus and Tag

The simplest connection format is the Direct Bus and Tag. For this 
solution, the printer is connected directly to the host via Bus and Tag 
cables.

ESCON connection

This format uses fiber optic cable and the ESCON protocol as the 
channel connection to the host. Using this solution, the printer is 
connected to an IBM 9034 Type 1 converter. The converter is then 
connected to the System/390 mainframe through a fiber optic serial 
cable.
