Multi-protocol Print Server for any Printer

The Intermate100 is a full-featured multi-protocol print server which snaps directly into a printers parallel port for attachment to 10/100 Mbit Ethernet networks.

A powerful 32bit Motorola RISC processor ensures compatibility with the increasing speed of new printer technologies, while the overdimensioned Flash and RAM amount allows upgrading with new features provided by Intermate free of charge.

By its extreme compactness Intermate100 virtually integrates into any Laser, Inkjet or Matrix printer, and adds support for all major operating systems such as Novell, UNIX and Windows. Optionally the Intermate100 supports the SCS and IPDS print data streams from IBM AS/400 and Mainframes.

Intermate100 configures easily from a from a web browser. Alternatively the unique IMCU Web Server from Intermate can be used for configuration and management of all Intermate Print Servers across large IP networks.

Intermate SCS and AFP/IPDS Host Print Options for Mainframe and AS/400 Printing

The Intermate Host Print Options (HPO), enables an IBM Mainframe or AS/400 to print SCS or IPDS directly to a standard printer through an Intermate100 Print Server.

All HPOs are based on TCP/IP and prints through the TN3270E, TN5250E and PPD/PPR protocols. The HPO for IPDS exploits PJL to control and monitor printer options and paper handling in order to integrate with the printer, and operate in true bi-directional IPDS mode.

Highlights
Based on TCP/IP
SCS and IPDS printing from host to any standard printer
