This section only covers defining an IPDS printer. Use
the Printing Environment Guide for IBM Mainframes for
information on IPDS settings in the print server.
About the FTP Print protocol
This protocol is primarily provided for UNIX users. It can also
be used in other environments, especially if you want to print
small jobs controlled manually. For example, a txt file can be
FTP’ed to a printer via the print server’s IP address. For further
information see
in the chapter on ser-
vices in “Input Control” where there is a generalizable example
from AIX environments.

About Tools for Management and Configuration
•
Descriptive
Framework
The Intermate1xx has an HTTP server in it which you attach
to using a browser. Because the HTTP-based menu is the
most comprehensive configuration tool, we use it as the
framework all descriptions of how to configure and use the
print server. The HTTP-based menu also gives access to
status information (described mainly in the chapters within
“Management— Information and Monitoring Possibilities”
starting on
) and to “actions” not obtainable in any
other way.

“Configuration Using a Telnet Client”
If there are very strong reasons for not using a Windows-
based configuration tool, you can use a Telnet client. The
menu presented to a Telnet client is does not include status
or actions (except for reboots), and the dialog is much more
difficult to use than either the HTTP-based menu or the
configuration tool presented in the following chapter.
