Data Streams
The following table shows which platforms have the ability to convert data streams from one format to
another. This allows output which otherwise would not be printable on a particular device to be converted
into a data stream that the printer understands.
Keep in mind when using data stream transforms that some loss of fidelity may occur.Also, performance
and storage considerations should be taken into account because often the transformed data stream will
consist entirely of image, which is larger than the originating file.
Note: Transforms that are functionally the same may not be identical from platform.

Attachment Modes for Supported Printers
The following tables represent the datastream capabilities by attachment type currently available for the
Printing Systems product line. These capabilities are enhanced on a regular basis, so it is recommended
that you refer to current documentation when considering new printers and attachments. Additional
servers, software products, and datastream transforms will also supplement these tables with other
connectivity options. Many printers also support drivers available under other platforms (not listed in these
tables) such as OS/2, MacOS, Solaris, SCO-UNIX, HP-UX, Novell NetWare, Netware, and Linux. Some of
the attachment modes on various platforms will require additional software. For example, driving IPDS
printers from any platform requires PSF or Infoprint Manager, and driving PCLor PostScript from OS/390
requires Infoprint Server. Please reference the IBM website at http://www.ibm.com/printers for specific
software product requirements and up-to-date attachment information.
