CONFIGURATION AND REFERENCE GUIDE
interface
Connection between two devices. Interfaces are meant to carry
electronic impulses from one place to another. Hardware
interfaces, for instance, link a host computer to a printer. Often
refers to an electronic device that enables one kind of equipment
to communicate with or control another.

IO Image command set
Group of IPDS commands used to control the presentation of
image data on a page, page segment or overlay.
image data on a page, page segment or overlay.
IPDS
Intelligent Printer Data Stream. IBM’s Systems Application
Architecture host–to–printer data stream for advanced function
printing subsystems. It provides an interface to all–points
addressable (APA) printers that make possible the presentation of
pages containing an architecturally unlimited mixture of different
data types: high–quality text, raster image, vector graphics, and
bar code.

JCL
Job control language. High–level language used with the MVS or
DOS operating systems to identify job requirements, such as user
name, program name, CPU processing time, input/output
devices, and files needed for batch processing.
