I-O 5755e IPDS/SCS Printer Gateway

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
