I-O
Corporation IPDS Print Servers and Print Server Gateways for
Full IPDS Printing on Laser Printers, Digital Copiers and MFPs
from IBM Power9/8/7/6, iSeries AS/400
and
z14 z13, etc.,
zSeries S/390 Mainframe LAN Printing

Overview
I-O Corporation IPDS Print
Servers, Print Server Gateways and IPDS Server Software
provide high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out IPDS
connectivity to convert native IBM host print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be
printed by a laser printer, digital copier of MFP
anywhere on the corporate network.
If you only need SCS printer connectivity for
your matrix, label or laser Printers and MFPs,
click here to
see I-O Corporation SCS Printer Connectivity Options.

High Speed Printing
Attached to a network, these
solutions support high-speed, high performance PCL compatible
network attached printers. They support printing
speeds of up to 250 pages/min per printer. Whether printing
from an IBM Power System (System i, iSeries, AS/400) or a zSeries -
S/390, fast printing can be obtained with laser printers supporting
port 9100.
Full
Printing Control from IBM Host
They offer the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and
control found with traditional direct
attached Twinax/Coax printers. With these
solutions,
IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of "Remote Out Queue"
LAN printing. They provide bi-directional communication between the printersand the
IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.

Features |
Benefits |
|
High Speed Printing,
up to 250 ppm |
Data conversion is
accomplished at the 5765e Gateway and sent to the printer via the Ethernet
Network. The Adaptio Gateway takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance
printers. |
|
Supports
up to 10 Network
Attached Printers |
Up to ten (10)
printers can be configured as AFP/IPDS and/or SCS virtual
printers. |
|
AFP/IPDS
& SCS Printing |
IBM host printing
to network attached printers.
Laser Printers/Copiers/MFPs can be configured as AFP/IPDS or SCS
Printers. Dot-matrix printers
are configured as SCS Printers. |
|
Full
IBM Host Control of Print Jobs |
The
5765e Gateway 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 directly attached or
physically next to the 5765e Gateway. |
|
One
USB Port |
One laser or
dot-matrix printer can be directly attached to the
5765e Gateway for IBM
host print 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 5765e Gateway. |
