A.5 For Direct Network Attachment
Hardware Compatibility
When the printer contains an optional SIMM for IPDS, it attaches to a network using a
MarkNet internal print server or a MarkNet Pro external print server or MarkNet XLe
external print server.
The optional MarkNet internal print server, MarkNet Pro and MarkNet XLe external
print servers support Token-Ring (4Mbps or 16 Mbps), Ethernet 10Base-T/10 Base2
and Ethernet 100Base-TX/10Base-T (MarkNet internal print server only) with the
following Network Operating Systems: Novell NetWare (including NetWare Directory
Services - NDS), IBM OS/2 Warp (LAN) Server, Microsoft Windows NT Server,
TokenTalk and EtherTalk , and the following UNIX platforms: AIX, Digital, NCR,
HP-UX, SCO, Silicon Graphics, SunOS, Sun Solaris, Sun Solaris x86 and UnixWare.
Software Compatibility
The IBM host software requirements for AFP/IPDS printing when the SIMM for IPDS
is set to emulate an IBM 43xx, 311x, 381x or 4028 printer are as follows:
Print Services Facility (PSF)/MVS Version 2.2 or greater
Application System AS/400 Operating System OS/400 V3R2, V3R1, V3R6,
V3R7, V4R1, V4R2, V4R3, V4R4 or greater through PSF/400
PSF/2 2.0 or greater
PSF/6000(for AIX) 2.1 or greater
Note: With AS/400 OS/400 V3R1 or OS/400 V3R6, to print IPDS over TCP/IP
through PSF/400, PTF SF29249 - WRKAFP2 is required.
