<h2 id="rzaluplan">Plan printing</h2>
<p>The iSeries&trade; servers offer a wide range of printing solutions, ranging from
high-function IPDS&trade; printers supporting bar-codes and complex document formatting on
high performance printers, to simple document printing using a directly attached
printer. Clearly understanding your organizations requirements, the type of
printed output you need, and knowing the capabilities of the hardware you
currently have or intend to purchase, are all critical components of configuring
an iSeries printing solution. After you have determined your requirements,
you should decide whether you will use IPDS or host print transform to convert and
send print data. Generally, IPDS (usually used with PSF) offers higher
performance and additional functions, but at a higher price. Refer to the
following resources for more information about determining what type of printing
solution will best meet your business needs.</p><blockquote> <span class="bold"><a href="rzaluprtattmeth.htm#rzaluprtattmeth">Printer attachment methods</a></span>

<br />One
of the most common causes of problems in a printing environment is hardware
compatibility. Refer to this IBM Knowledge Base document (search for the
document title at www.ibm.com/support/) to find out which printers will support
the print protocols you require.</p></blockquote>
