Plug-In IBM IPDS Printer Emulation
for HP LaserJet
Printers
Overview
The I-O 3235 IPDS / SCS
Flash or USB are
plug-in options for the HP LaserJet
models listed below to provide
IPDS printer connectivity. They provide
support for Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IBM's Intelligent
Printer Data Stream (IPDS) over Ethernet networks, from IBM
iSeries AS/400 and zSeries
S/390 Hosts.
It enables HP LaserJet Printers to print AFP/IPDS print jobs over an
Ethernet LAN. This winning combination provides high level AFP/IPDS
printing from an IBM AS/400 and Mainframe system.
If you need AFP/IPDS on a other laser printers or multi-function
printer (MFP) devices from companies like Canon, IBM, Konica,
Kyocera-Mita, Lexmark, Ricoh, Sharp, Xerox,
etc., please click on the following links:
Advantages
The significant advantages of the I-O 3235 are:
-
Offloading the data
conversion from the host: EBCDIC to ASCII conversion is done by
the I-O 3235 at
the printer. No host resources are used to convert data. Printing speeds
are increased.
-
Configuration via front
panel or Web page: The Flash/USB is inserted in one of the printer’s
available slots. Set up and configuration is easily accomplished
through the printer’s front panel or HP WebJetAdmin on newer models.
-
Support of all AFP/IPDS
towers: All AFP/IPDS functions such as bar code, graphics, fonts,
and overlay are fully supported.
-
Supports Advanced Function
Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol
-
SCS Printer Emulation: Can also be configured
as a 3812-1 TN5250e printer session
-
Host controlled printing
and page range printing
-
Edge to edge printing
-
Customized input tray
I-O has combined its extensive experience in host connectivity with HP's I/O Filter technology to develop
a solution that allows multiple models of HP printers to print AFP/IPDS host print jobs. The I-O 3235
is available in two models to support a wide range of HP LaserJet Printers
as listed below:

Features |
Benefits |
|
AFP/IPDS printing on an HP printer |
Eliminates the expense of a dedicated host AFP/IPDS printer. |
|
AFP/IPDS printing over a LAN |
Both AFP/IPDS host printing and standard LAN printing can be accomplished in an Ethernet environment. |
|
Offloading
of Data Conversion |
Increased speed is a result of converting EBCDIC data at the printer rather than at the host or PC. |
|
Duplex |
Printing can be done on both sides of a page. The full functionality of a duplex printer can be utilized. |
|
Page Offset Function |
Provides flexibility in page positioning with no need to modify applications. |
|
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts |
There are more fonts to choose from than other AFP/IPDS interfaces. |
