Use Your Twinax & Coax Printers over TCP/IP
Overview
The
I-O LANRPC Print Server protects printers
when migrating to TCP/IP Ethernet. It allows Twinax or Coax IPDS,
SCS, or SCS/DSC printers to be connected to an Ethernet network.
You
simply connect your Twinax or Coax system printer directly to the I-O
LANRPC. Once this is done, you will be able to address the
printer via TCP/IP from an IBM AS/400 or 3270-type mainframe. The
attached printer can be a laser,
dot-matrix or line printer. The I-O LANRPC will reliably communicate
the IPDS data received over the TCP/IP Ethernet link to the
attached Twinax or Coax cable.
With
an I-O LANRPC a non-IPDS (SCS) Twinax or non-IPDS (SCS/DSC) Coax system printer
becomes available to
virtually any host on the Ethernet network. This includes AS/400,
3270-type mainframe, Unix,
Windows XP / 2000 / 98 / 95 and NT, and Novell host systems. All host systems can simultaneously communicate with
the I-O attached system printer.
Line
and matrix printers configured via TCP/IP, AnyNet or SNA on an
AS/400 offer page range printing
support and posting of the FORM ALIGNMENT message. The latter is a
particularly valuable feature when printing on pre-printed forms
or stationary such as checks and invoices.
With
I-O’s PrintControl Windows-based utility, the initial setup and
configuration is a painless
and straight forward task. Once an IP address has been assigned,
administrators can easily configure even remote I-O print servers
directly from their desktop.
