Features

Benefits

AS/400 printing over Ethernet

Allows AS/400 print jobs to be seamlessly printed over a LAN.

Enhanced Telnet 5250 (TN5250e)

Communicate with up to ten AS/400's using native TCP/IP.

Printer error reporting to the AS/400

Prevents loss of AS/400 print data by providing the same level of print status reporting as a 5250 twinax printer.

Page range printing from the AS/400

Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports.

Auto configuration (One step setup)

Installs in minutes using native TCP/IP, avoiding complex software configurations.

Offloading of Data Conversion

Eliminates unnecessary AS/400 or PC overhead by converting EBCDIC data directly on the I-O 5430B/5431B. Host Print Transform is no longer required.

True IBM printer emulations

Permits full-function AS/400 printing on the attached LAN printer.

Simultaneous, multi-host printing

Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from multiple AS/400's but from Novell, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, UNIX, etc.

10BaseT and 100BaseT

Protects print server investment when upgrading the LAN to 100 Mbps.

Powerful RISC processor

Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing AS/400 jobs.

Unique support of proprietary bar code label printer languages

Print self-tests, diagnostics, dumps, etc., directly to any attached label printer for convenient customization and trouble-shooting.
