This option provides customers with an affordable solution for AFP/IPDS distributed
or LAN printing with IPDS emulation.
Product Description
The SIMM for IPDS is an option which is installed in the printer optional firmware
SIMM connector. With the SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) and either a
MarkNet S (Ethernet or Token-Ring) internal network adapter, MarkNet Pro (Ethernet
or Token-Ring), MarkNet XLe (Ethernet of Token-Ring) external print server or the
Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS, the printer becomes an IBM host workstation printer
capable of printing AFP or IPDS documents from an AS/400, System/370 or
System/390 computer. With the appropriate host software and this option, the Optra
printer can emulate an IBM 43xx, 311x, 3812/16 or 4028 printer.
The SIMM for IPDS supports scalable fonts and higher print resolutions. The default
resolution is selected through an IPDS MENU setting.
The printer can be configured to take advantage of additional memory to improve
performance for complex IPDS print jobs with host resources such as fonts or page
segments.
The SIMM for IPDS supports the IPDS data and resource towers. Fonts and other
resources can be downloaded to the printer.
If your printer supports a duplex option, duplex printing is supported for all IBM
printer emulations dependent on host software. Up to five input sources are supported
