Abbreviation Full name Explanation
ICDS Compressed Data Stream MPI Tech equivalent for
the IPDS data stream.
ICDS will for instance be
generated and sent by
PSS and translated to
PCL or PostScript by the
MPI Tech
PrintServer/Protocol
converter. ICDS supports
the complete print data
stream and
communication between
ICDS capable devices
(including software
devices).
IPDS Intelligent Printer Data
Stream IPDS is generated and
sent by e.g. PSF and
translated to PCL by e.g.
the MPI Tech
PrintServer/Protocol
converter. IPDS supports
the complete print data
stream and
communication between
IPDS capable devices
(including software
devices).
ITDS Transparent Data stream Used to configure and
upgrade MPI Tech IPDS
capable devices. Only
IPDS related functions
are affected. ITDS can be
used locally via
Centronics or printed
using PSF.
LAN Local Area Network Usually TokenRing or
Ethernet. Coax and
Twinax are usually
regarded as WANs.
