I-O Corporation IPDS Connectivity Solutions for Network Printers to IBM Power9 / 8 / 7,  iSeries AS/400 and z14, z13, z9, zSeries S/390 Mainframes

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.

Features

• Connects from 1 to 256 PCL 5e (or higher) compatible Ethernet capable laser printers or MFP devices, based on model of print server/gateway/software

• Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol

• Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol

• High speed printing - Supports printers with up to 250 pages/minute per printer

• Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts

• 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing

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

• Easy to install and use, includes I-O's Configuration Utility software

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.
