Managed IPDS Dialog (MID)
When some printers connected to an IPDS host end a session, the job resource containing information such as page segment and
overlays are discarded. If these resources are required by subsequent IPDS jobs from the same host system, then they must be
downloaded again. When a new session is established using the MID function, the host system can release the printer to print other
jobs, such as PCL or PostScript without immediately discarding the IPDS rsources. The IPDS dialog may be resumed at a later time.
The IPDS resources are only discarded if a new IPDS connection and dialog is established with a different host system. If the IPDS
resources are still available when the original host dialog is resumed, then they do not have to be retransmitted. This can save a
significant amount of time. Host system support for MID is already available with MVS, iSeries and AIX systems.
AFP/IPDS SBCS Resident Font Support
Printer resident fonts are supported using outline font technology. Under native mode, all printer-resident AFP/IPDS fonts are
accessible to PSF.
