Lexmark 3455 manual Introduction, Equipment Requirements and Specifications

1 Introduction

1.1 Equipment Requirements and Specifications

Thank you for purchasing the SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) for Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS). This provides your printer with high quality IBM_host connectivity print output. With the appropriate adapter and host software, your printer becomes an IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP_or IPDS documents from an AS/400_, System/370, System/390_, or System/36.

To use the SIMM for IPDS, your Lexmark Optra printer must have a minimum of 4 MB of installed memory and one of the following:

a MarkNet_internal print server for connection to a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN.

a Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS internal adapter for connection to a host via coax or twinax cables.

a MarkNet Pro external print server for connection (using the parallel port) to

Na Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN.

a MarkNet XLe print server for external connection (using the parallel port) to a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN.

Code Levels Required:
MarkNet Pro	2.9.15 (or greater)
MarkNet XLe	04.130.01 (or greater)
Adapter for SCS	H01-9072	(or greater) for coax
	H02-8491	(or greater) for twinax

MVS Maintenance Level Required in TCP/IP Profile

IBM PTF UQ03848

IBM PTF UQ11550

For help determining your code levels, see chapter 7 Using the SIMM for IPDS with a MarkNet Internal or External Print Server or chapter 8 Using the SIMM for IPDS with the Adapter for SCS.
