“LPR (ASCII data, e.g. PCL and Postscript)” [page 60]

“IPDS from PSF/2” [page 64]

This section only covers defining an IPDS printer. Use the Printing Environment Guide for IBM Mainframes for information on IPDS settings in the print server.

About the FTP Print protocol

This protocol is primarily provided for UNIX users. It can also be used in other environments, especially if you want to print small jobs controlled manually. For example, a txt file can be FTP’ed to a printer via the print server’s IP address. For further information see “FTP Print” [page 164] in the chapter on ser- vices in “Input Control” where there is a generalizable example from AIX environments.

1.4.2.About Tools for Management and Configuration

Descriptive Framework

Chapter 9 “HTTP (Browser)” [page 67]

The Intermate1xx has an HTTP server in it which you attach to using a browser. Because the HTTP-based menu is the most comprehensive configuration tool, we use it as the framework all descriptions of how to configure and use the print server. The HTTP-based menu also gives access to status information (described mainly in the chapters within “Management— Information and Monitoring Possibilities”, starting on page 169) and to “actions” not obtainable in any other way.

Chapter 10 “Configuration Using a Telnet Client” [page 75]

If there are very strong reasons for not using a Windows- based configuration tool, you can use a Telnet client. The menu presented to a Telnet client is does not include status or actions (except for reboots), and the dialog is much more difficult to use than either the HTTP-based menu or the configuration tool presented in the following chapter.
