Chapter 3. IPDS Commands Reference

Under the IPDS Emulation Mode configuration menu, you can select either 4234
(default) or 6408. Usually, you select 4234 when you are using PSF applications
or you want to emulate a 4234 printer. (If you are using PSF/MVS, you should
select 6408 to take advantage of support offered by PSF/MVS.)
The following information describes how IPDS commands function when you are
using this printer to emulate a 4234 printer.
Note: These commands also apply to this printer when you are not emulating a
4234 printer and have selected 6408 under IPDS Emulation Mode. There are
some exceptions to how the IPDS commands function when you select 6408.
These differences are described in Chapter 4, "IPDS Command Differences" on
page 135.

IPDS Initialization Defaults

Defaults are those values that are used for control parameters when any of the
following conditions exist:
These values remain in effect until overridden by the following IPDS commands:
