MPI Technologies 2100 manual Introduction

1 Introduction

The IPDS DIMM provides more features that any other competitive product in the world.

The IPDS DIMM is an internal module for AFP print using the IPDS printing capabilities. As one of the very few companies MPI Tech offers total connectivity flexibility as the solution operates with both HP JetDirect and MPI Tech LAN connectivity solutions for TCP/IP attachment to S/390, AS/400 and AIX systems for AFP printing. Direct connection to IBM mainframe or AS/400 using coax or twinax attachments is also possible.

MPI Tech's IPDS printing solution is one of the most widely used within the industry and offers a wide range of features and added value enhancements. The IPDS DIMM™ provides plug-in IPDS support as an additional Printer Driver Language.

Installation can be performed by simply inserting the IPDS DIMM in the HP printer. Once the IPDS DIMM is installed, configuration of the IPDS setup options can be performed via your web browser. The IPDS DIMM uses the TCP/IP PPD protocol, which is sent by your IBM host system from supported IBM PSF products using TCP/IP host attachment.

Note: IRQ-reporting is not supported when the IPDS DIMM is used with an interface other than MPI Tech's own.
