|
|
ICDS | Compressed Data Stream | MPI Tech equivalent for |
|
| the IPDS data stream. |
|
| ICDS will for instance be |
|
| generated and sent by |
|
| PSS and translated to |
|
| PCL or PostScript by the |
|
| MPI Tech |
|
| PrintServer/Protocol |
|
| converter. ICDS supports |
|
| the complete print data |
|
| stream and |
|
| communication between |
|
| ICDS capable devices |
|
| (including software |
|
| devices). |
|
|
|
IPDS | Intelligent Printer Data | IPDS is generated and |
| Stream | sent by e.g. PSF and |
|
| translated to PCL by e.g. |
|
| the MPI Tech |
|
| PrintServer/Protocol |
|
| converter. IPDS supports |
|
| the complete print data |
|
| stream and |
|
| communication between |
|
| IPDS capable devices |
|
| (including software |
|
| devices). |
|
|
|
ITDS | Transparent Data stream | Used to configure and |
|
| upgrade MPI Tech IPDS |
|
| capable devices. Only |
|
| IPDS related functions |
|
| are affected. ITDS can be |
|
| used locally via |
|
| Centronics or printed |
|
| using PSF. |
|
|
|
LAN | Local Area Network | Usually TokenRing or |
|
| Ethernet. Coax and |
|
| Twinax are usually |
|
| regarded as WANs. |
