System overview
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
•VSE
•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
•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.)
