Xerox 6180N IPDS User Guide - Page 5

Overview 1 Introduction The DocuSP IPDS User Guide describes the DocuSP Intelligent Print Data Stream support. IPDS is a print data stream defined by IBM. This guide describes various system menus, installation and setup routines, operator commands for running print jobs, system supported environments, font management, host connectivity, and diagnostic trace capabilities. NOTE: DocuSP IPDS requires a software license. If your system does not have the DocuSP IPDS license, you will not see any of the DocuSP IPDS dialogues and the DocuSP IPS Manager menu will not appear in the system menu. Contact your Customer Service Engineer (CSE) in order to obtain an IPDS software license. The primary audience for this document is the system administrator or the individual(s) responsible for managing the print production environment. Intelligent Print Data Stream (IPDS) is a sequence of information transmitted by an IBM host computer as directed by the Print Service Facility (PSF). In addition to delivering print information, the IPDS data stream performs printer control functions and shares job status information. The DocuSP IPDS gateway is configured by means of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), featuring drop-down menus, tabs, and icons from which to manage the DocuSP IPDS functions. DocuSP IPDS supports the TCP/IP and online channel interfaces. Xerox DocuSP IPDS User Guide 1-1
