I-O 5435/5435e Ethernet IPDS Print Server
I-O 5435/ Multi-Protocol Print Server
Ethernet IPDS Print Server for the IBM AS/400 and Mainframe Systems
I-O AFP/IPDS Print Servers enable IPDS printing over an Ethernet LAN to a PCL 5e laser printer. Two models are available the I-O 5435 for AS/400 environments and the I-O 5435e, I-O's Enterprise AFP/IPDS-to-LAN print server for IBM Mainframe environments.
In addition to operating as an AFP/IPDS-to-LAN print server for IBM AS/400 and Mainframe systems, these print servers also function as a standard Ethernet print server for Windows, Novell, OS/2 and Unix environments. They can even support IBM SCS printing from IBM hosts. Industry standard TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, and SNA protocols provide the user with printer connectivity to virtually any host or client.
The unique design of the I-O AFP/IPDS Print Server allows a single PCL 5e laser printer to appear to the host as two separate type printers (IPDS and SCS) at the same time. Multi-host capabilities allow up to ten IBM hosts to send SCS printing to a single printer.
In today's expanding LAN environment, I-O's easy-to-use PrintControlTM utility supports multiple I-O Print Servers. This powerful utility makes inital set up, administration, and updates a painless and simple task.

Features | Benefits |
Offloading of Data Conversion | Eliminates unnecessary IBM Host or PC overhead by converting EBCDIC data directly on the I-O 5435/5435e. This also speeds up printing. |
True Print Complete | No more wondering when a print job is complete. |
Duplex Support | Print on both sides of the page for more efficient printing (for duplex printers). |
Page Offset Functions | Provides more flexibility in page positioning. No need to modify host applications. |
Supports over 100 IPDS Fonts | Provides more fonts to choose from than other IPDS interfaces, including IBM 4312/17 emulation fonts. |
On-board FLASH Memory | Allows for field upgrades of interface code. Always support the latest new features from I-O. |
Simultaneous, Multi-Protocol Printing | Maximizes printer utilization by supporting printing from a variety of hosts, servers and clients. |
PrintControl Utility | Provides simple configuration from a local or remote network. |
High Speed Parallel Port | Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing complete AFP/IPDS jobs. |
