Chapter 4 IPDS Emulation
204
Your IPDS printer emulates the IBM 4234 twinax models 008
and 012.
IPDS Twinax printers can only print IPDS data streams and nothing
else. Even a simple job, such as a screen print, is IPDS data in a
twinax attachment. Because the printer definition on a twinax host
is either set automatically (by auto configuration) or manually, the
printer type is already known.
NOTE: A general discussion about starting and stopping IPDS can
be found in the IBM 4234 Product and Programming
Reference Manual (GC31-3879). Sending a non-IPDS data
stream to an IPDS printer and vise versa will result in a
hung spool file or writer.
