Remote Print Manager (RPM)

Remote Print Manager (RPM) stores all fonts, Overlays and Page Segments on a PS/2 that is connected directly to the remote channel attached printer. This means that the transmitting of output to an RPM printer includes almost only the data. This is extremely good for performance. This, in conjunction with in-line PAGEDEFs and FORMDEFs on the mainframe for PSF, provides the best combination for remote printing. Not all AFP printers are supported by RPM. See the relevant IBM publications for additional information about RPM and which AFP printers are supported.

PSF/2 replaces RPM. For information about PSF/2, see PC/LAN Environment.
