 A
Network Appliance to Support 3 LAN Attached
Matrix, Laser or
Multi-Function Printers (MFP)
Overview
The I-O 5750e SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed
Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out SCS gateway print server designed to
convert native IBM AS/400, iSeries, eServer i5 or S/390 – zSeries print
jobs to allow them to be printed by up to 3 printers
connected anywhere on the Ethernet network. The 5750e delivers IBM SCS printing via TCP/IP,
providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host
environment.
Features
Connects three printers - Laser, Matrix, Bar Code, MFP or Card Printer
Supports Standard Host
Printing using SCS protocol
High
speed printing - over 300 pages per minute
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 SCS printer emulations
Increases print speeds
Easy to install and use,
includes I-O's PrintControl™ utility software
Attached to the LAN, the 5750e supports high-speed, high-performance
printers. Without the bottleneck of a slow parallel port, the 5750e
supports speeds of up to 300 pages per minute. Whether printing from an IBM i5,
iSeries, AS/400 or a zSeries-S/390, fast printing can be obtained
with matrix printers or PCL laser printers supporting. In addition to the Ethernet
connection, the 5750e has a parallel port to directly attach
one of the three supported printers if
it does not have an Ethernet connection.
The 5750e offers the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and
control found with direct Twinax/Coax attached printers. With the 5750e,
IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of LAN printing. The
5750e 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
5750e.
Whether selecting TCP/IP or SNA, configuration is made easy through the
use of a menu-based utility.

Benefits |
| High
Speed Printing, 100+ ppm |
The
5750e takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance
printers without the bottleneck of the parallel port. |
| SCS
Printing Over Ethernet |
Standard
SCS host print jobs can be seamlessly prined over a LAN. |
| 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. |
| 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 5750e. |
| 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 5750e
for IBM host to LAN printing jobs instead of over the LAN (like
the 5430e) |
| Auto
