I-O 3235 AFP/IPDS DIMM
for HP LaserJet Printers to
i5, iSeries AS/400 &
z9, zSeries IBM Mainframe

Plug-In IBM AFP/IPDS emulation
for HP LaserJet Printers

Overview

The I-O 3235 IPDS DIMM is a HP LaserJet compatible, Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) that provides support for Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IBM's Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) over Ethernet networks, from IBM AS/400 - iSeries or Mainframe - zSeries Hosts.

It enables HP LaserJet Printers to print AFP/IPDS print jobs over an Ethernet LAN.  This winning combination provides high level AFP/IPDS printing from an IBM AS/400 and Mainframe system.

If you need AFP/IPDS on a other laser printers or multi-function printer (MFP) devices from companies like Canon, IBM, Konica, Kyocera-Mita, Lexmark, Ricoh, Sharp, Xerox, etc., please click on the following links:

Advantages

The significant advantages of the I-O 3235 are:

bullet

Offloading the data conversion from the host: EBCDIC to ASCII conversion is done by the I-O 3235 at the printer. No host resources are used to convert data. Printing speeds are increased.

bullet

Configuration via front panel or Web page: The DIMM is inserted in one of the printer’s available DIMM slots. Set up and configuration is easily accomplished through the printer’s front panel or HP WebJetAdmin on newer models.

bullet

Support of all AFP/IPDS towers: All AFP/IPDS functions such as bar code, graphics, fonts, and overlay are fully supported.

bullet

Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol

bullet

Host controlled printing and page range printing

bullet

Edge to edge printing

Customized input tray

I-O has combined its extensive experience in host connectivity with HP's I/O Filter technology to develop a solution that allows multiple models of HP printers to print AFP/IPDS host print jobs. The I-O 3235 DIMM is available in various models to support a wide range of HP LaserJet Printers.o models.  The HP LaserJet printers supported by each model is as follows:

Features Benefits
AFP/IPDS printing on an HP printer Eliminates the expense of a dedicated host AFP/IPDS printer.
AFP/IPDS printing over a LAN Both AFP/IPDS host printing and standard LAN printing can be accomplished in an Ethernet environment.
Offloading of Data Conversion Increased speed is a result of converting EBCDIC data at the printer rather than at the host or PC.
Duplex Printing can be done on both sides of a page. The full functionality of a duplex printer can be utilized.
Page Offset Function Provides flexibility in page positioning with no need to modify applications.
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts There are more fonts to choose from than other AFP/IPDS interfaces.
