A.5 For Direct Network Attachment

Hardware Compatibility

When the printer contains an optional SIMM for IPDS, it attaches to a network using a MarkNet internal print server or a MarkNet Pro external print server or MarkNet XLe external print server.

The optional MarkNet internal print server, MarkNet Pro and MarkNet XLe external print servers support Token-Ring (4Mbps or 16 Mbps), Ethernet 10Base-T/10 Base2 and Ethernet 100Base-TX/10Base-T (MarkNet internal print server only) with the following Network Operating Systems: Novell NetWare (including NetWare Directory Services - NDS), IBM OS/2 Warp (LAN) Server, Microsoft Windows NT Server, TokenTalk_and EtherTalk_, and the following UNIX platforms: AIX, Digital, NCR, HP-UX, SCO, Silicon Graphics, SunOS, Sun Solaris, Sun Solaris x86 and UnixWare.

Software Compatibility

The IBM host software requirements for AFP/IPDS printing when the SIMM for IPDS is set to emulate an IBM 43xx, 311x, 381x or 4028 printer are as follows:

Print Services Facility (PSF)/MVS Version 2.2 or greater

Application System AS/400 Operating System OS/400 V3R2, V3R1, V3R6, V3R7, V4R1, V4R2, V4R3, V4R4 or greater through PSF/400

NPSF/2 2.0 or greater

PSF/6000(for AIX) 2.1 or greater

Note: With AS/400 OS/400 V3R1 or OS/400 V3R6, to print IPDS over TCP/IP through PSF/400, PTF SF29249 - WRKAFP2 is required.
