A Windows PC or Server Based Software Solution to Support AFP/IPDS or SCS Printing on LAN Attached Laser Printers and MFPs Support From 1 to 256 Printers

I-O Corporation's Adaptio IPDS Print Server Software is a Windows based software solution designed to print IBM host print jobs over an Ethernet network via TCP/IP. Running as a Windows service, Adaptio seamlessly converts IBM's AFP/IPDS and SCS data streams to PCL. Printers are addressed through either Port 9100 or a Windows printer object.

Adaptio offers the flexibility, speed, and control expected by IBM users. As the requirement for host printers increases, additional printer sessions can be added. With expandability in mind, Adaptio starts by supporting 1 network attached printer, and expands to support up to 256 printers. When printing from an IBM iSeries, AS/400, zSeries or System S/390, Adaptio prints IPDS and SCS print jobs at speeds up to 250 pages per minute. Adaptio provides bi-directional communications between the IBM host and the printer, preventing documents from being lost in the 'black hole' of network printing. In addition page range printing is supported.

Enhanced SCS is an Adaptio product that transforms IBM's plain text SCS data stream into a graphical presentation. Pre-formatted documents such as electronic forms, invoices, statements and checks are stored as templates. Enhanced SCS monitors the incoming SCS data stream, selects the correct template and then populates the form with variable data. As an economical optional feature, Enhanced SCS eliminates the expense of pre-printed forms, PSF, IPDS, and custom programming.
