I-O ADAPTIO AFP/IPDS AND SCS SOFTWARE PRINT SERVER, 1-2 SESSIONS, PER SESSION

I-O's adaptio is a Windows®-based software solution designed to print IBM® host print jobs over an Ethernet network via TCP/IP. Running as a Windows service, adaptio seamlessly converts IBM's AFP/IPDS and SCS data streams to PCL. Printers can be addressed through Port 9100 or through a Windows printer object. Supporting up to 128 Ethernet attached printers, adaptio provides the flexibility and control expected by IBM users.

As the requirement for host printers increases, additional printer sessions can be added. With flexibility in mind, adaptio starts by supporting 1 network attached printers, and can later be expanded to support up to 128 printers.

For decades, I-O Corporation has developed award-winning emulations for the IBM host printing market. Whether printing from an IBM iSeries, AS/400, zSeries or S/390, adaptio prints host documents with speed and accuracy. Printer speeds of up to 250 pages per minute are supported.

adaptio provides bi-directional communications between the IBM host and the printer, allowing error reporting and printer monitoring. Host print jobs are not lost in the "black hole" of network printing. In addition, if there is a need to print a portion of a print job, page range printing is supported.

adaptio is easily installed on a Windows 2000 Pro or newer system. The adaptio software is up and running in minutes through the use of I-O's adaptio Management Utility.
