1 Introduction

The IPDS DIMM provides more features that any other competitive product in the

world.

The IPDS DIMM is an internal module for AFP print using the IPDS printing

capabilities. As one of the very few companies MPI Tech offers total connectivity

flexibility as the solution operates with both HP JetDirect and MPI Tech LAN

connectivity solutions for TCP/IP attachment to S/390, AS/400 and AIX systems

for AFP printing. Direct connection to IBM mainframe or AS/400 using coax or

twinax attachments is also possible.

MPI Tech's IPDS printing solution is one of the most widely used within the

industry and offers a wide range of features and added value enhancements. The

IPDS DIMM™ provides plug-in IPDS support as an additional Printer Driver

Language.

Installation can be performed by simply inserting the IPDS DIMM in the HP

printer. Once the IPDS DIMM is installed, configuration of the IPDS setup options

can be performed via your web browser. The IPDS DIMM uses the TCP/IP PPD

protocol, which is sent by your IBM host system from supported IBM PSF

products using TCP/IP host attachment.

Note: IRQ-reporting is not supported when the IPDS DIMM is used with an

interface other than MPI Tech's own.
