Overview
 

The I-O LANRPC Print Server protects printers when migrating to TCP/IP Ethernet. It allows Twinax or Coax IPDS, SCS, or SCS/DSC printers to be connected to an Ethernet network.

You simply connect your Twinax or Coax system printer directly to the I-O LANRPC. Once this is done, you will be able to address the printer via TCP/IP from an IBM AS/400 or 3270-type mainframe. The attached printer can be a laser, dot-matrix or line printer. The I-O LANRPC will reliably communicate the IPDS data received over the TCP/IP Ethernet link to the attached Twinax or Coax cable.

With an I-O LANRPC a non-IPDS (SCS) Twinax or non-IPDS (SCS/DSC) Coax system printer becomes available to virtually any host on the Ethernet network. This includes AS/400, 3270-type mainframe, Unix, Windows XP / 2000 / 98 / 95 and NT, and Novell host systems. All host systems can simultaneously communicate with the I-O attached system printer.

Line and matrix printers configured via TCP/IP, AnyNet or SNA on an AS/400 offer page range printing support and posting of the FORM ALIGNMENT message. The latter is a particularly valuable feature when printing on pre-printed forms or stationary such as checks and invoices.

With I-O's Configuration Utility, the initial setup and configuration is a painless and straight forward task. Once an IP address has been assigned, administrators can easily configure even remote I-O print servers directly from their desktop.
