The EBOX Print Server
AS/400 & iSeries IPDS/AFP
 Matrix Printing over TCP/IP

Overview

The EBox (matrix) from CSP GmbH allows a line or dot-matrix printer with EPSON or IBM Proprinter emulation to be seen as an IBM 4224 IPDS printer over a TCP/IP Ethernet LAN.  This provides for a simple migration path from Twinax to Ethernet while maintaining full printing functionality and control.

If you need AFP/IPDS capability for Zebra or Eltron Printers, click here.

The IBM Ethernet connection to the AS/400 or iSeries host provides the same full error reporting and printing control as a Twinax printer.

The EBox also supports printing from UNIX, Windows and Novell hosts, allowing the printer to be shared by everyone on the network.

The TCP/IP address is set through the LCD front panel. Additional configuration can be done through the front panel or via a web browser. On-board flash memory allows for easy field-upgrades to ensure continued compatibility with future OS/400 and printer releases.
