A maximum of two of these adapters (Gigabit, FICON, or ESCON) can be installed on the 3170-005. Only
one of the Gigabit or FICON adapters may be installed. Two ESCON adapters are allowed. Possible
combinations include:
v 1 Ethernet Gigabit Adapter
v 1 FICON Adapter
v 2 ESCON
v 1 ESCON and One FICON
v 1 Ethernet Gigabit and 1 ESCON
v 1 Ethernet Gigabit and 1 FICON
Infoprint Color 130 Plus Datastream Support
The following datastreams are supported on an Infoprint Color 130 Plus attached to a host S/390 with PSF
for OS/390.
v AFP with Infoprint Color Image (FS45)
v AFP line data
v EPS embedded or referenced in the AFP datastream
v Single-page PDF embedded or referenced in the AFP datastream
The following datastreams are supported on an Infoprint Color 130 Plus attached to an Infoprint Manager
for AIX System.
v All of the datastreams shown above for a S/390 with PSF for OS/390
v GIF, TIFF, and JPEG (JFIF) images which have been transformed to an Infoprint Color Image in the
Infoprint Manager System
v PostScript 3 which has been transformed to an Infoprint Color Image in the Infoprint Manager System
v PDF 1.3 which has been transformed to an Infoprint Color Image in the Infoprint Manager System
A stand-alone version of the image conversion program is provided for the AIX and Windows NT platforms.
This program can be used to convert TIFF, GIF, and JPEG (JFIF) images to Infoprint Color Images (FS45)
in batch mode. The resulting Infoprint Color Image can then be stored in an Infoprint Manager or OS/390
resource library, embedded or referenced in an AFP (MO:DCA-P) datastream, and printed using PSF for
OS/390 or Infoprint Manager for AIX.
Software Requirements
Either PSF for OS/390 (5655-B17) V3R2 or Infoprint Manager for AIX V3R2 (5765-E42) must be installed
on a host server to support Infoprint Color 130 Plus.
Infoprint Manager for AIX requires APAR IY8860 and the Infoprint Color 130 Plus PRPQ #8A8091.
Both PSF for OS/390 and Infoprint Manager for AIX support printing AFP (MO:DCA-P) datastreams with
the new Infoprint Color Image (FS45) objects. Both also support printing AFP data streams with
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) objects or single-page PDF objects. These objects must reside in a S/390
container library, in an AIX resource library, or in the resource group at the beginning of the AFP print file.
Only Infoprint Manager for AIX supports printing PostScript or PDF files directly using a server-based AFP
transform. The AFP Upload facility can be used to upload the AFP file generated by this transform to a
S/390 for printing by PSF for OS/390.
In addition to workstation-based application generators, the following products can be used to create color
AFP data.
v IBM Page Printer Formatting Aid/370 R1 (5688-190) with APAR PQ 37413.
v The Page Printer Formatting Aid feature of Infoprint Manager for AIX V3 with APAR PQ37413
v IBM Overlay Generation Language/370 V1R1 (5688-191)
v The AFP Windows Driver
