A Network Appliance to Support AFP/IPDS
on LAN Attached Laser Printers and
Multi-Function Printers (MFP)

Overview

The I-O 5735e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out IPDS/SCS gateway print server designed to convert native IBM AS/400, iSeries, eServer i5 or S/390 – zSeries print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed by a laser printer on the LAN.  The 5735e delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via TCP/IP, providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

Features

    Connects one PCL 5e compatible ethernet capable laser printer

    Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol

    Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol

    High speed printing - over 100 pages per minute

    Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts

    10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing

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

    Multiple LAN protocols (SNA, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS)

    Host printing via Telnet (TN5250e and TN3270E), SNA (APPC) or AnyNet

    Simple, one step set-up (auto configuration) when using TN5250e or TN3270e

    Host controlled printing, including error reporting, page range printing etc.

    I-O's award winning IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printer emulations

    Increases print speeds 

    Easy to install and use, includes I-O's PrintControl™ utility software

High Speed Printing

Attached to the LAN, the 5735e supports high-speed, high-performance printers. Without the bottleneck of a slow parallel port, the 5735e supports over 100 pages per minute. Whether printing from an IBM i5, iSeries, AS/400 or a zSeries-S/390, fast printing can be obtained with laser printers supporting port 9100. In addition to the Ethernet connection, the 5735e has a parallel port to directly attach a printer if it does not have an Ethernet connection (laser or dot-matrix).

Full Printing Control from IBM Host

The 5735e offers the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and control found with direct Twinax/Coax attached printers. With the 5735e, IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of LAN printing. The 5735e provides bi-directional communication between the printer and the IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.


Easy to Use

I-O's PrintControl™ utility software is included with every 5735e. Whether selecting TCP/IP or SNA, configuration is made easy through the use of a menu-based utility.

Features Benefits
High Speed Printing, 100+ ppm Data conversion is accomplished at the 5735e and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN. The 5735e takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance printers without the bottleneck of the parallel port.
Enhanced Telnet 5250 (TN5250e)and Telnet 3270 (TN3270e) Communicates with the IBM Host using native TCP/IP
True Print Complete Users are notified when the print job is finished taking the guess work out of printing.
Duplex Printing can be done on both sides of a page. The full functionality of a duplex printer can be utilized.
Page Offset Functions Provides more flexibility in page positioning with no need to modify host applications.
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts There are more fonts to choose from than other AFP/IPDS interfaces.
On-board FLASH Memory Allows for field upgrades providing the latest new features from I-O.
Printer error reporting to the host Prevents loss of host print data by providing the same level of print status reporting as a twinax or coax printer.
Page range printing Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports.
Off-loading of Data Conversion Eliminates unnecessary overhead by converting EBCDIC data to ASCII data directly on the I-O 5735e.
True IBM printer emulations Permits full-function host printing on the attached LAN printer.
Simultaneous, multi-host printing Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from the host but from Novell, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, etc.
10BaseT and 100BaseT Provides versatility in attaching to LANs at different speeds.
Remote Printing The printers can be attached locally or remotely via a WAN or VPN network. Printers do not need to be next to the 5735e.
One Parallel Port One laser or dot-matrix printer can be directly attached to the 5735e for IBM host to LAN printing jobs.
Auto configuration Installs in minutes.
