AFP SUMMARY
PSF/2
2-16
You can attach the DocuPrint IPS printer to a PS/2 PC that has an
MCA Channel Card installed and is running PSF/2. The PS/2 is
connected to a Front End Processor (FEP) through
telecommunication lines. PS/2 can connect to the System/370 or
System/390 mainframe from the network using the FEP (for SNA/
SDLC connection) or a 3172 communications controller (for TCP/IP
connection).
DocuPrint IPS printers connected through remote PSF/2 have these
characteristics:
•
remote operator cannot communicate to the host
•
for PSF/2 Direct:
— no spooling of jobs
— no resource storage
— can download AFP data streams only; cannot transform
other data streams (such as PCL and PostScript)
•
for PSF/2 Distributed Print Function (DPF):
— spools first page of job only
— can store font resources residing in the DPF resources
library and downloaded by PSF/MVS.
While the PSF/2 solution does not support PageDefs, you can use
IBM's AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF) on an available
system (MVS, VM, VSE, or AIX platforms).
