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

Overview

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.

Features	Benefits
Expandability	Printer sessions range from 1 to 256 LAN attached printers.
High Speed Printing, up to 250 ppm	Data conversion is accomplished by Adaptio and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN. Adaptio takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance printers.
I-O's Award Winning Printer Emulations	All AFP/IPDS and SCS functions including True Print Complete, AFP/IPDS and SCS Duplex, Page Offset, COR, Fonts, and Barcode are fully supported by Adaptio .
Electronic Forms from SCS Data	Converts IBM's plain text SCS documents to graphical output, such as forms, invoices, statements, formatted text, barcodes, checks, etc. Eliminates pre-printed forms, PSF, IPDS, and custom programming. (Enhanced SCS option required)
Remote Printing	Printers can be attached locally or remotely via a WAN or VPN.
AFP/IPDS & SCS Printing	IBM host printing to network attached printers can be accomplished easily in an Ethernet environment. Laser printers can be configured as AFP/IPDS and/or SCS virtual printers. Dot-matrix printers are configured as SCS printers.
Full IBM Host Control of Print Jobs	Adaptio provides bi-directional communication between the host and the printer.
Windows Print System Support Option	Printers can be addressed directly via Port 9100 or through the Windows printer object.

Full Printing Control from IBM Host

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