I-O 5735E IPDS/SCS PRINTER GATEWAY

The I-O 5735e is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out IPDS/SCS gateway print server designed to convert native IBM host print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed by a laser printer on the LAN. Supporting a single printer, the 5735e delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via TCP/IP, providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

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 AS/400, iSeries, eServer i5 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 one printer (laser or dot-matrix).

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. I-O's Configuration 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 and Benefits

• High Speed Printing, 100+ ppm - Data conversion is accomplished at the 5735e and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN.
• Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out - The 5735e can be installed anywhere on the LAN.
• AFP/IPDS & SCS Printing - IBM host printing to LAN attached printers can be accomplished easily in an Ethernet environment.
• Full IBM Host Control of Print Jobs - The 5735e provides bi-directional communication between the host and the printer, via port 9100 and PJL commands.
• Remote Printing - The printer can be attached locally or remotely via a WAN or VPN network. The printer does not need to be next to the 5735e.
• Versatility - Print jobs can be redirected to a different printer via the I-O Configuration Utility.
• One Parallel Port - One laser or dot-matrix printer can be directly attached to the 5735e for IBM host or LAN printing jobs.
• I-O's Award Winning Printer Emulations - All AFP/IPDS and SCS functions such as True Print Complete, duplex, page offset, COR, fonts, and barcode, are fully supported by the 5735e.
