IPDS
Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is IBM’s Systems Application Architecture host-to-printer
data stream for Advanced Function Presentation subsystems. It provides an attachment-
independent interface for controlling and managing all-points-addressable (APA) printers that
allow the presentation of pages containing an unlimited mixture of different data types, including
text, image, graphics, bar code, and object container. It is used by a variety of print servers that
drive all-points-addressable (APA) page printers. Generally these printers are at the medium to
high end of the print speed and volume spectrum.
