optional connections:
Online interface
The online channel interface receives input directly from the host
system. All IBM systems which support the channel-attached 3811/
3211 or 4245 interface are supported. Non-IBM systems are
supported through a variety of connections such as DDI. (Refer to
the DDI description below.)

DDI interface
The Dynamic Document Interface (DDI) enables communication
between a Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS and other products via a shared
disk mechanism. The interface allows the other products (such as
DEC, PC, MAC, and UNIX local area network (LAN) workstations) to
save print files to an external hard disk. The Xerox DocuPrint 180
LPS then directly accesses the external hard disk to retrieve files for
printing. The DDI passes data over a high performance SCSI bus.
