I-O 5755e

The I-O 5755e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out print server designed to convert native IBM AS/400 iSeries or S390 zSeries print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed on up to three laser printers.

General Info Features & Benefits Specifications Downloads

The I-O 5755e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, ethernet-out AFP/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 up to three printers, the 5755e delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via TCP/IP, providing the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

Connects up to three PCL 5e compatible ethernet capable laser printers
Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol
Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol
High speed printing - up to 300 pages per minute
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts
10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing
Multiple Host support (AS/400 iSeries, Mainframe 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 AFP/IPDS and SCS printer emulations
Increases print speeds
Easy to install and use, includes I-O's PrintControl? utility software

Features	Benefits
High Speed Printing, 100+ ppm	The I-O 5755e takes advantage of high-speed, high-performance printers without the bottleneck of the parralel port.
AFP/IPDS printing over Ethernet	Both AFP/IPDS and standard (SCS) host print jobs can be seamlessly printed 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.
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts	There are more fonts to choose from than other AFP/IPDS interfaces.
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 5755e.
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.
Auto configuration	Installs in minutes.
Powerful RISC processor	Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing IBM Host jobs.
