CONNECTIVITY MODULE

IPDS Printer Controller Output Module
The IPDS Print Controller output connectivity module of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) drives IPDS printers over a TCP/IP network or BUS/TAG connection. The module works in conjunction with the PostScript::IPDS, PDF::IPDS and XCHANGE::IPDS modules by routing PostScript, PDF, and Xerox LCDS/Metacode applications to printers that support IPDS. This output module receives the IPDS generated from either of the conversion modules and sends the data to network printers via TCP/IP or BUS/TAG.
