IO 5435e - AFP / IPDS Print Server

The I-O 5435e is a single port, multi-protocol print server that provides support for Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IBM's Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) over Ethernet networks from an IBM i5, AS/400 - iSeries or Mainframe - zSeries Host.

Features

The unique design of the I-O AFP/IPDS Print Server allows a single PCL 5e laser printer to appear to the host as two separate type printers (IPDS and SCS) at the same time. Multi-host capabilities allow up to ten IBM hosts to send SCS printing to a single printer.

In today’s expanding LAN environment, I-O’s easy-to-use PrintControlTM utility supports multiple I-O Print Servers. This powerful utility makes initial set up, administration, and updates a painless and simple task

Additional Features

Features	Benefits
AS/400 & Mainframe printing over Ethernet	Allows IBM Host print jobs to be seamlessly printed over a LAN.
Full IPDS Support	Take advantage of all the IPDS towers for full function printing.
Enhanced Telnet 5250 (TN5250e) and Enhanced Telnet 3270 (TN3270e)	Communicate with the AS/400 using native TCP/IP for IPDS/AFP and SCS printing.
True Print Complete	No more wondering when a print job is complete.
Duplex Support	Print on both sides of the page for more efficient printing (for duplex printers).
Page Offset Functions	Provides more flexibility in page positioning. No need to modify host applications.
Supports over 100 IPDS Fonts	Provides more fonts to choose from than other IPDS interfaces, including IBM 4312/17 emulation fonts.
On-board FLASH Memory	Allows for field upgrades of interface code. Always support the latest new features from I-O.
True IBM printer emulations	Permits full-function IBM Host printing on the attached LAN printer.
IPDS + SCS printer sessions	Maximizes your printer investment and printing speed.
Simultaneous, multi-host printing (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, SNA, AnyNet)	Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from the IBM Hosts but from Windows, Novell, OS/2, UNIX, etc.
10BaseT and 100BaseT	Protects print server investment when upgrading the LAN to 100 Mbps.
PrintControl™ Utility	Provides simple configuration from a local or remote network.
Powerful RISC processor	Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing IBM Host print jobs.
