Specifying input parameters

Input data is processed and temporarily written to disk for
subsequent printing under control of user selected PDL
commands.
The input processor decodes and formats input data online from
a host attached channel interface or a remote communication,
and offline from magnetic tape via the Tape Client.
The DP EPS systems receive data online, over a channel or
through Ethernet using TCP/IP. They also print offline from
magnetic open reel and cartridge tapes. The controller supports
submission of the following data streams:
• PostScript
• PCL
• ASCII (converted to PostScript by the controller)
• TIFF (converted to PostScript by the controller)
• LCDS
• PDF (converted to PostScript by the controller)
PostScript, PCL, and LCDS each has its own decomposer on the
controller, and the controller supports page description
commands for each page description language. Print Description
Language is a type of page description language, which is used
only with the LCDS data stream.
