* Input control and HPOs

This is an umbrella term for protocols and printing methods. In connection with the IBM Host Print Options (HPOs), there are a great many possible settings. The HPOs are AFP/IPDS, SCS TN5250E and SCS TN3270E.

* Target printer

The Network Destination Option (NDO) allows you to use just one intelligent multi-protocol print server to control jobs to up to four network printers with inexpensive basic network-cards.
