I-O 5755km AFP/IPDS
- SCS Printer Gateway for AS/400, iSeries, i5 & S/390 – zSeries

iologo.jpeg (6880 bytes)

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

Overview

The I-O 5755km Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out print server designed to convert native IBM host print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed on up to three Kyocera printers and/or multi-functional products (MFPs). The I-O 5755km Gateway delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via Ethernet, and provides the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment. In addition to IBM host connectivity, the I-O 5755km Gateway supports Kyocera's value added finishing features.

High Speed Printing

Attached to the LAN, the 5755km supports the high-speed and high-performance Kyocera printers and MFPs.  Whether printing from an IBM i5, iSeries, AS/400 or a zSeries-S/390, fast printing can be obtained.  Data conversion is accomplished at the 5755km and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN.  Without the bottleneck of the parallel port the 5755km supports high-speed printing featured in Kyocera printers

Full Printing Control from IBM Host

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


Easy to Use

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