A Network Appliance to Connect Printers, Copier and MFPs to IBM iSeries AS/400s & zSeries S/390 Systems and Provide Full Support for IPDS Printing

PLEASE NOTE:  All "dp", "e" and "km" models of I-O Corporation 5435, 5735 and 5755 Print Servers and Print Server Gateways are no longer manufactured.   The direct replacement for the 5735e is the next generation I-O 5765e iSeries/zSeries IPDS Print Server Gateway .  Please click here to be taken to the 5765e Print Server Gateway page.

Overview

The I-O 5735e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out IPDS/SCS gateway print server designed to convert native IBM AS/400, iSeries, eServer i5 or S/390 – zSeries print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed by a laser printer on the LAN.  The 5735e delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via TCP/IP, providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

If you need to connect more than 1 printer or MFP please click on the following links for other I-O Corporation IPDS connectivity solutions:

• The 5755e IPDS Print Server Gateway for 3 Printers

• The 5765e IPDS Print Server Gateway for up to 10 Printers
  

Features

• 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing

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

• Multiple LAN protocols (TCP/IP, SNA, ANYNET)

• Host printing via TCP/IP 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 Configuration Utility software

High Speed Printing

Attached to the LAN, the 5735e supports high-speed, high-performance printers. Without the bottleneck of a slow parallel port, the 5735e supports over 100 pages per minute. Whether printing from an IBM i5, 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 5735e has a parallel port to directly attach a printer if it does not have an Ethernet connection (laser or dot-matrix).

Full Print Queue Control from IBM Host

The 5735e offers the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and control found with direct Twinax/Coax attached printers. With the 5735e, IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of LAN printing. The 5735e provides bi-directional communication between the printer and the IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.

Easy to Use

I-O's Configuration Utility software is included with every 5735e. Whether selecting TCP/IP or SNA, configuration is made easy through the use of a menu-based utility.
