System overview

The Xerox DocuPrint IPS printer series are cut-sheet, duplex, high- speed printers that are fully compatible with the IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) architecture. They accept an IPDS data stream from any Print Services Facility (PSF) eligible platform, emulating an IBM IPDS Group 3 page printer with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option.

The IPS printer series is a combination of proven Xerox print engines matched with a high-performance RISC-based controller. Each system consists of a Sun workstation controller and the printer, sometimes referred to as the Image Output Terminal (IOT).

A full-color graphical user interface on the Sun workstation enables interaction with the IPS.

Host environments The IPS can print in the following PSF environments:

MVS

VM (channel-attached only) VSE (channel-attached only) OS/2

OS/400 (with TCP/IP only)

AIX

Note: Although PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly, a printing system with PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can attach to a PSF/VSE system and the PSF/2, PSF/6000, or InfoPrint Manager can furnish the TCP/IP support for the IPS printer.

There is no minimum host operating system software level required to support IPS. The minimum PSF levels needed to support the IPS are:

PSF/MVS: V2.2

PSF/VM: V2.1

PSF/VSE: V2.2

PSF/400: V3.2

PSF/6000: V2.1

PSF/2: V2.0
