True "Device" AS/400 LAN Printing
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Overview | Page Range Printing - Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports. |
| Printer Error Reporting - Prevents loss of AS/400 print data by providing same level of print status reporting as a direct system attached twinax printer. |
| True IBM AS/400 Printer Emulations - Permits full-function AS/400 printing on the attached LAN printer. 3812-01 (SCS) laser, 4214 matrix and 5224/25/56 matrix printer emulations. |
| No Host Print Transform - No need to waste valuable processor cycles on EBCIDIC to ASCII translation. The 5450/5430 handles that all with it's own embedded RISC processor. |
| Simultaneous Multi-Host Printing - Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from the AS/400 but from Novell, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, UNIX, etc. |

10/100 Mbps Ethernet Print Server
The 5450 MPS attaches up to three printers (2 parallel, 1 serial) directly to the network allowing users of different operating systems to share printer resources. The 5430 MPS attaches one parallel printer. Both of these I-O print servers connects to 10BaseT, 10Base2 or 100BaseT LANs and can thus adapt to higher LAN speed requirements. Because they support TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NetBEUI/NetBIOS protocols, the 5450 MPS and 5430 MPS can be used with a wide variety of operating systems including Novell 3.x and 4.x, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, Unix, and OS/400. The additional support of the IBM SNA and AnyNet protocols allows controlled host printing directly from the IBM AS/400.
Reliable, Full-Function AS/400 LAN Printing:
In addition to operating as a standard LAN print server, the 5450 MPS and 5430 MPS support AS/400 printing over TCP/IP (LPD/LPR), SNA (APPC) and AnyNet (SNA encapsulated in TCP/IP). With the SNA or AnyNet protocol selected, the 5450/5430 MPS emulates an IBM 5494 controller. This emulation allows the LAN-attached printer to offer the same reliable and full-function AS/400 printing support as a 5250 twinax-attached printer. The5450 MPS is also able to run three simultaneous IBM printer sessions featuring I-O’s field-proven IBM 3812-1, 4214 and 5224/25/56 printer emulations. The ability to convert AS/400 EBCDIC data to ASCII directly on the I-O 5450 MPS frees the host or a client PC from this resource-intensive task. The 5430 MPS has the same capabilities but is limited to only one AS/400 IBM printer session when multiple printer support is not needed.
