Re: WSCST type function on IPDS printer type

Steven, my concern was forms changes. How does the plain paper device know that the printer is full of invoices for IPDS printing and vice-versa? We only print invoices weekly, and the normal paper is replaced with invoice paper. If somebody in another department sends a print job to the printer before the invoice job prints, wouldn't the printer start printing the wrong thing on the invoice paper?

Thanks,

-Steve

We have an IPDS printer (IBM 6400) with 2 device descriptions. Both are
active (along with writers) at the same time with no problems. I've also
used laser printers (IBM, HP & Lexmark) with IPDS cards with multiple
device descriptions. Both device descriptions can be active at the same
time without problems. Just send your output to the correct outq.
