Compatibility Considerations
The differences between IPDS and PostScript, and between the PostScript printer
and the emulated IBM IPDS printer, may lead to differences in the appearance of
the printouts. The five major areas of differences are:
• Printer Resolution
• Resource Memory Management
• Characters and Code Pages
• Resident Fonts
• Printable Area.
The following sections will explain and discuss these issues.
Printer Resolution
The IBM IPDS page printer models IBM 3812 and 3816, as well as channel at-
tached page printers in the 38xx and 39xx series, have 240 dpi print resolution,
while IBM 4028 and 3916 are 300 dpi printers. Axis AFP accepts both 240 and
300 dpi data streams and automatically converts them to the resolution of the
printer, such as 300, 600 or 1200 dpi. For host down-loaded fonts, resident fonts
can be selected instead by host configuration, see section 5, Fonts.
