IPDS settings tab (Destination Configuration)

Use this tab to configure an IPDS destination.

IPDS is not available for new sales.

The IPDS destination is actually a transform operation, where the input file is transformed to an IPDS data stream and sent to an IPDS printer. You can access this tab when you create or configure an IPDS destination.

You must have a transform package licensed for the necessary input formats and for IPDS output to use IPDS destinations.
