Agile LC/5435
The LAN CONNECT (LC) 5435 and 5435e series print servers enable the printing of AFP/IPDS data over an Ethernet LAN to a PCL 5e laser printer and eliminate the need for IPDS capable printers.
There are two models of the LC/5435 available: the LC/5435 is for AS/400 applications, and the LC/5435e for IBM Mainframe applications. Both models function as standard Ethernet print servers for Windows, Novell, OS/2 and Unix operating systems in addition to being an AFP/IPDS-to-LAN print server for IBM AS/400 and Main-frame (S/390) systems.
Both models also support IBM SCS printing from the applicable IBM host. The industry standard TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS, and SNA protocols are supported in order to provide printer connectivity to virtually any host or client.
The LC/5435 AFP/IPDS print servers allow a single PCL 5e laser printer to appear to the host computer as two separate types of printer (IPDS and SCS) at the same time.
Both of the AFP/IPDS and SCS data streams are converted to PCL, allowing the use of a standard PCL 5e printer in place of either an IBM 3270 or 5250 compatible printer.
Multi-host capabilities allow up to ten IBM hosts to send SCS printing to a single printer.
The set up and configuration utility makes initial set up, administration, and updates a painless and simple task.
FEATURES
- The LC/5435/5435e directly converts the data stream protocol and print command sets to eliminate unnecessary and inefficient IBM Host or PC overhead. This can also increase effective print speed.
- True Print Complete reporting when a print job is complete.
- The duplex printing support feature allows duplex printers to print on both sides of the page for more efficient printing.
- The page offset functions allow more flexibility in page positioning without need to modify host applications.
- Over 100 IPDS fonts to choose from. More than other IPDS interfaces, including IBM 4312/17 emulation fonts.
- On-board FLASH memory allows for simple field upgrades to provide the latest features.
- Simultaneous, multi-protocol printing maximizes printer utilization by supporting printing from a variety of hosts, servers and clients.
- The software management utility provides simple configuration from a local or remote network workstation.
- High-speed parallel port for maximum print speed even when processing complete AFP/IPDS jobs.
