Overview

I-O Print Servers, Print Server Gateways and SCS Print Server Software provide full-function printing for network attached printers connected to IBM Power9, Power8, Power7, iSeries AS/400 i5 or zSeries S/390 zSeries printing over an Ethernet network, as well as printing from Windows, Unix and other IP platforms..

If you  need IPDS connectivity for your laser printers and MFPs, click here to see I-O Corporation IPDS Printer Connectivity Options.

The various models support from 1 to 10 printers and feature I-O's field-proven IBM printer emulations. Combined, these unique characteristics enable users to share printer resources even when several different operating systems are in use.

Reliable, Full-Function AS/400 & Mainframe LAN Printing

In addition to operating as an Ethernet LAN print server, the I-O print servers support AS/400 - iSeries and IBM Mainframe printing over TCP/IP, SNA (APPC), and AnyNet (SNA encapsulated in TCP/IP). Using any one of these protocols, the allows the LAN attached printer to offer the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing support as a direct system-attached 5250/3270 printer. These protocols also offer users one step set-up (auto-configuration) as well.

If you have a requirement for IPDS Laser Printing over your TCP/IP network from your iSeries AS/400 or zSeriex Mainframe, click here for information on the 5735e IPDS Ethernet Print Server Gaterway.

Full Print Queue Control

These print servers offer the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and control found with traditional direct attached Twinax/Coax printers. With the 5430e Print Server your printer is configured as a true "Device" printer and not a "Remote Out Queue Printer".  Your IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of "Remote Out Queue" LAN printing. They provide bi-directional communication between the printer and the IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.

Some of the print queue features you will get back are:

• Page Range Printing - Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports.

• Forms Alignment Messages -  Get the forms alignment messages you are familiar with you need for precise alignment of your pre-printed forms, something you do not get with Remote Out Queue printing

• Printer Error Reporting - Prevents loss of IBM Host print data by providing same level of print status reporting as a direct system attached Twinax or coax printer.

• True IBM iSeries AS/400 and S/390 zSeries Printer Emulations - Permits full-function IBM Host printing on the attached LAN printer. 3812-01 (SCS) laser, 4214 matrix and 5224/25/56 matrix printer emulations.

• No Host Print Transform - No need to waste valuable processor cycles on EBCIDIC to ASCII translation.  The 5450e / 5430e handles that all with it's own embedded RISC processor.

• Simultaneous Multi-Host Printing - Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from the IBM Hosts but from Windows, UNIX, etc
