A Network Appliance to Support AFP/IPDS
on LAN Attached Laser Printers and
Multi-Function Printers (MFP)

Overview

The I-O 5755e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out IPDS/SCS gateway print server designed to convert native IBM host print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed by a laser printer on the LAN. Supporting up to three printers, the 5755e delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via TCP/IP, providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

Features

    Connects three PCL 5e compatible Ethernet capable laser printers or MFP devices

    Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol

    Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol

    High speed printing - over 100 pages per minute

    Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts

    10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing

    Multiple Host support (AS/400, iSeries, eServer i5, S/390 – zSeries, Windows, Unix)

    Multiple LAN protocols (SNA, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS)

    Host printing via Telnet (TN5250e and TN3270E), SNA (APPC) or AnyNet

    Simple, one step set-up (auto configuration) when using TN5250e or TN3270e

    Host controlled printing, including error reporting, page range printing etc.

    I-O's award winning IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printer emulations

    Increases print speeds 

    Easy to install and use, includes I-O's PrintControl™ utility software

High Speed Printing

Attached to the LAN, the 5755e supports high-speed, high-performance printers. Without the bottleneck of a slow parallel port, the 5755e supports over 100 pages per minute. Whether printing from an IBM iSeries-AS/400 or a zSeries-S/390, fast printing can be obtained with laser printers supporting port 9100. In addition to the Ethernet connection, the 5755e has a parallel port to directly attach one printer (laser or dot-matrix).

Full Printing Control from IBM Host

The 5755e offers the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and control found with direct twinax/coax attached printers. With the 5755e, IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of LAN printing. The 5755e provides bi-directional communication between the printer and the IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.

Easy to Use

I-O's PrintControl™ utility software is included with every 5755e. Whether selecting TCP/IP or SNA, configuration is made easy through the use of a menu-based utility.

Features Benefits
High Speed Printing, 100+ ppm Data conversion is accomplished at the 5755e and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN. The 5755e takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance printers without the bottleneck of the parallel port.
Supports up to 3 Attached LAN Printers Three laser printers can be configured as AFP/IPDS and/or SCS virtual printers.
AFP/IPDS & SCS Printing IBM host printing to LAN attached printers can be accomplished easily in an Ethernet environment.
Full IBM Host Control of Print Jobs The 5755e provides a bi-directional communication between the host and the printer, via port 9100 and PJL commands.
Remote Printing The printers can be attached locally or remotely via a WAN or VPN network. Printers do not need to be next to the 5755e.
One Parallel Port One laser or dot-matrix printer can be directly attached to the 5755e for IBM host to LAN printing jobs.
I-O's Award Winning Printer Emulations All AFP/IPDS and SCS functions such as True Print Complete, AFP/IPDS and SCS Duplex, Page Offset, COR, Fonts, Barcode, are fully supported by the 5755e.
