5.IPDS printing environment

The NPS/IPS emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option. It can print in all the following PSF environments: MVS, VM (channel- attached only), VSE (channel-attached only, OS/2, OS/400 (with TCP/IP only), and AIX.

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

Host connectivity

Host environments

The system emulates an IBM AFP Group 3 page printer with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) option and can print in all 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 printer.

NOTE: There is no minimum host operating system software level required. The minimum PSF level needed to support full color is v.3.2.
