With this utility, many different forms or logos could be stored as images, and printed when needed, all using the same standard blank paper, thus eliminating the need to stock many preprinted forms, and the need for operators to stop the printer and change paper.
Personal Printer Data Stream is a general name for a family of page description language used by IBM printers, which includes all Proprinter, Quietwriter, Quickwriter, LaserPrinter 4019, and LaserPrinter 4029 commands. PPDS was introduced to control printers in 1981 with the launch of IBM Graphics Printer 5152.
GDDM (Graphical Data Display Manager) is a computer graphics system for the IBM System/370 which was developed in IBM's Hursley lab, and first released in 1979. GDDM was originally designed to provide programming support for the IBM 3279 colour display terminal and the associated 3287 colour printer. The 3279 was a colour graphics terminal ...
The Printer Setup Utility was an application that served to allow the user to configure printers physically connected to the computer, or connected via a network. The Utility provided more specific tools than the more user friendly printers pane in System Preferences .
This printer has considerably more microprocessing power, meaning it can perform user driven diagnostics without relying on an IBM Service Representative. [3] There are several models: The 3262 is manufactured in Jarfalla, Sweden. [18] The C1 model is intended to be Customer Set-up (CSU). [19] It uses a steel band with 288 characters.
In turn, this required IBM to release updated Reference Disks (The CMOS Setup Utility) on a regular basis. A fairly complete list of known IDs is available (see External links section). To accompany these reference disks were ADF files which were read by setup which in turn provided configuration information for the card.
IBM defined two sets of printer commands, and therefore two sets of printer control characters are available. The first set of commands did not send any data to be printed to the printer but only a paper movement instruction. These are called immediate commands. The second set of commands send data to be printed on the current line plus a paper ...
