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.
