The Blue KitTM IPDS Flash/Dimm
All HP LaserJet printers use the de facto PCL standard to control the output to the 
printed page. The comparative standard for the IBM mainframe and AS/400 
environment is called AFP/IPDS. By adding The Blue Kit 
IPDS emulation is added to the HP LaserJet printers without having to change the 
existing LAN interface.
Simply plug in The Blue Kit 
IBM required parameters using the control panel of the HP LaserJet printer.
Y our normal LAN printing will continue as before, but in addition you can receive AFP/ 
IPDS output over TCP/IP from IBM OS/390, OS/400 and AIX systems to be printed 
on your standard HP LaserJet printer.

The Blue Kit
TM
 IPDS Flash/Dimm can also be used to add IPDS emulation to HP 
LaserJet printers connected to IBM Coax (3270) and Twinax (5250) systems. Using 
the MPI Tech Coax or Twinax interfaces (HostCom) for physical connection, The Blue
TM
Kit
 IPDS Flash/Dimm will add full IPDS compatibility and offer direct replacement of
IBM printers using the HP LaserJet printers.
