4635 LPS OVERVIEW

5.25-inch floppy disk drive

The 5.25-inch floppy disk drive is another means of downloading or backing up files, such as fonts, to the 4635 system disk.

Expanded disk memory

The 4635 has as a standard feature one 651 MB unformatted system disk, and can support up to three additional 651 MB unformatted system disks.

Expanded bitmap memory

The 4635 has as a standard feature 32 Mbits of bitmap memory that supports font and graphics. The bitmap memory can be expanded to 256 Mbits.

Bar code reader

The bar code reader adds a set of features that allow processing of bar code data streams. A cross-checking mechanism allows the 4635 to ensure that any bar code sheets printed have been accounted for by each component of the software.

Raster image processor

Raster image processor (RIP) performs vector to raster conversion in support of the Interpress 3.0 Publication Set. It provides multiple forms capability for any given page and permits printing of text and image files which would otherwise be unprintable or incomplete because of complexity. RIP allows you to use two forms per page and more than 16 graphics on a page for Interpress applications.

LPS connection

The 4635 may be ordered with the following optional connections:

Online interface The online channel interface receives input directly from the host system. All IBM systems which support the channel-attached 3811/3211 or 4245 interface are supported. Non-IBM systems are supported through a variety of connections such as DDI. (Refer to the DDI description below.)

Offline interface The offline interface is an excellent alternative or addition to an online operation. It supports 9-track (1600/6250 bpi) and 18- track (3480 format) tapes conforming to one of the following formats:

ÐAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)

ÐIBM (OS/VS/370, OS/360, DOS/VS/370. DOS/360/370)
