1 Introduction
1.1 Equipment Requirements and Specifications
Thank you for purchasing the SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) for Intelligent
Printer Data Stream (IPDS). This provides your printer with high quality IBM
_ host
connectivity print output. With the appropriate adapter and host software, your printer
becomes an IBM host workstation printer capable of printing AFP
_ or IPDS
documents from an AS/400
_, System/370, System/390_, or System/36.
To use the SIMM for IPDS, your Lexmark Optra printer must have a minimum of 4 MB
of installed memory and one of the following:
N
a MarkNet
_ internal print server for connection to a Token-Ring or Ethernet
LAN.
N
a Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS internal adapter for connection to a host via
coax or twinax cables.
N
a MarkNet Pro external print server for connection (using the parallel port) to
a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN.
N
a MarkNet XLe print server for external connection (using the parallel port)
to a Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN.
Code Levels Required:
MarkNet Pro
2.9.15 (or greater)
MarkNet XLe
04.130.01 (or greater)
