1 Introduction

1.1 About This Guide

Thank you for purchasing the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe which provides emulation support for
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) and SNA Character String (SCS). This provides high quality IBM
host connectivity print output. With the appropriate adapter and host software, your printer becomes an
IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP, IPDS, or SCS documents from an AS/400, iSeries,
System/370, System/390, or zSeries. Unless otherwise stated, the term "printer" covers both printers
and Multifunction Products (MFPs).
This guide contains information to assist you in using the front panel to change IPDS MENU settings,
understand the IPDS MENU settings, and IPDS function support.
If you need information on configuring the printer and host settings to receive IPDS jobs, refer to the
IPDS Printer and Host Setup Guide.
If you need information on the SCS/TNe emulation provided with the Card, please refer to the SCS/TNe
Emulation User's Guide.
Information on how to install the Card is on separate documentation shipped with your printer. Refer to
the documentation that was shipped with your printer for information on how to install the Card.
If you need basic information about your printer setup and printer operation, please refer to the printer's
specific documentation.
