Attachments
The InfoPrint 4000–IR1/IR2 and –IR3/IR4 supports a maximum of two attachments. These attachments
can be:
vESCON channel
vSystem/370 parallel channel
vTokenRing (TCP/IP)
vFDDI (TCP/IP)
The two attachments may be the same (e.g., 2 ESCON channels), or mixed (eg., 1 ESCON and 1
Token-Ring).The exception is that the printer can have only 1 TCP/IP attachment of any flavor. You cannot
have 2 Token-Ringor 2 FDDI attachments, or a combination of 1 Token-Ring or 1 FDDI attachments.
When printing in duplex configuration, only one attachment can be active at a time. If both attachments are
to the same system, or to a tightly-coupled system, and the attachments are of the same type (example,
both are ESCON or both are parallel channel), then switching between the two attachments can be
performed dynamically by the host system. If the attachments or host differ, or the hosts are not
tightly-coupled, then the switch must be performed manually by the operator. The printer must be disabled
from the current system and attachment before it can be enabled to the other attachment.
