I-O 5430B & 5431B Bar Code Print Server
Multi-Protocol Bar Code Print ServersFinally...Seamless AS/400 to LAN Printing at an Economical Price
I-O BarCode Print Servers are single-port, multi-protocol print servers designed to provide support for specialty printers, such as bar code label printers. Available in either parallel or serial versions, I-O BarCode Print Servers combine the functionality of an Ethernet printer server with reliable, full-function AS/400-to-LAN printing. The I-O 5430 (for parallel printers) and the I-O 5431 (for serial printers) BarCode Print Server attaches one parallel or serial printer directly to a 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN. They support multiple protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and Net BIOS, providing specialty printer connectivity to a variety of operating systems such as Windows NT/98/95; Netware 3.x, 4.x, 5.x; OS/2; Unix; and IBM's OS/400. Due to the I-O BarCode Print Server's support of proprietary label printer languages, a one-step configuration process makes setup extremely easy. A variety of AS/400 to LAN printing protocols are included, such as SNA/APPC, and AnyNet, as well as fully native TCP/IP printing using TN5250e. With any of these protocols, the I-O BarCode Print Server provides reliable, full function AS/400 printing support and control equal to that of a direct twinax-attached 5250 printer. Using I-O's implementation of TN5250e, up to ten different AS/400 hosts can be supported. As with all I-O Print Servers, the included enhanced features add value to any attached printer, whether its a laser, dot matrix, or specialty printer.

Power Supply Included
| Features | Benefits | | AS/400 printing over Ethernet | Allows AS/400 print jobs to be seamlessly printed over a LAN. | | Enhanced Telnet 5250 (TN5250e) | Communicate with uo to ten AS/400's using native TCP/IP. | | Printer error reporting to the AS/400 | Prevents loss of AS/400 print data by providing same level of print status reporting as a 5250 twinax printer. | | Page range printing from the AS/400 | Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports. | | Auto configuration (One step setup) | Installs in minutes using native TCP/IP, avoiding complex software configurations. | | Offloading of Data Conversion | Eliminates unnecessary AS/400 or PC overhead by converting EBCDIC data directly on the I-O 5430B/31B. Host Print Transform is no longer required | | True IBM printer emulations | Permits full-function AS/400 printing on the attached LAN printer. | | Simultaneous, multi-host printing | Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from multiple AS/400's but from Novell, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, UNIX, etc. | | 10BaseT and 100BaseT | Protects print server investment when upgrading the LAN to 100 Mbps. | | Powerful RISC processor | Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing AS/400 jobs. | | Unique support of proprietary bar code label printer languages | Print self-tests, diagnostics, dumps, etc., directly to any attached label printer for convenient customization and trouble-shooting. |
