IPDS data streams are purely used to carry print information and data. This is above the network transport layer (typically [[TCP/IP]] or [[IBM Systems Network Architecture|SNA]]) and the supporting hardware [[LAN]]s, channels and network controllers.
 
IPDS carries data and instructions from the print server to the printer in structured fields. The printer controller processes these IPDS commands and returns acknowledgment back to the print server.
