IPS Gateway User's Guide (5/2002)
All AFP resources (print data sets, page definitions, form definitions, page
segments, fonts, and overlays) supported by the emulated printer are
supported by IPS Gateway. Additionally, there are several IBM data
architectures supported within the AFP environment that are fully
supported by IPS Gateway, to the level supported by the emulated
printer's capabilities:
•
MO:DCA-P: Mixed Object Document Content Architecture for
Presentation
•
PTOCA PT1 and PT2: Presentation Text Object Content Architecture
•
IOCA: Image Object Content Architecture
•
GOCA: Graphics Object Content Architecture
•
BCOCA: Bar Code Object Content Architecture
Each of the data objects follow the same object rule of containing
delimited fields within the structure fields describing each object.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Gateway and TCP/IP
Socket Gateway connections are required for running IPS Gateway. Each
must be licensed and enabled in DocuSP.
The PostScript Decomposer is the module that enables PostScript jobs to
be printed. This must be licensed and enabled in DocuSP to run IPS
Gateway.
IPS Gateway is a feature of DocuSP with a window similar in design to the
DocuSP window. IPS Gateway provides drop-down menus, tabs, and
icons. Windows, tabs, and menus are used for specifying print job
parameters, displaying messages, and performing system administration
and trace functions.
IPS Gateway is provided in four languages: English, French, German, and
Italian. You are prompted to choose the user interface (UI) language
during installation of the IPS Gateway software. To change the language,
you must reinstall the software.
