I-O 5755km IPDS - SCS
Printer Gateway for AS/400, iSeries, i5 & S/390 – zSeries

A Print Server Gateway to Support AFP/IPDS
on LAN Attached Kyocera-Mita Printers and 
Multi-Function Printers (MFP)

PLEASE NOTE:  All "dp", "e" and "km" models of I-O Corporation 5435, 5735 and 5755 IPDS Print Servers and Print Server Gateways are no longer manufactured.   The replacement for the 5435e, 5735e and 5755e is the next generation I-O Win10 Adaptio IPDS Print Server Gateway .  Please click here to be taken to the Win10 Adaptio IPDS Print Server Gateway page.

OverviewIO-5735km / 5755km Network Diagram

The I-O Corporation 5755km IPDS Print Server Gateway is a high speed Ethernet-in, Ethernet-out print server designed to convert native IBM host print jobs to PCL, allowing them to be printed on up to three Kyocera Laser Printers, Copiers and multi-functional products (MFPs). The I-O 5755km Gateway delivers IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printing via Ethernet, and provides the control and printer feedback found in an IBM host environment.

In addition to IBM host connectivity, they support the Kyocera's value added finishing features on the higher end models.

If you only have one Kyocera printers or MFP with the added finishing features, the 5735km Gateway that supports three printers may be the better solution for you. Click here for information on the 5735km.

Other IPDS models are available if you do not need the Kyocera-Mita finishing functions.  Click here for these other options and model numbers.

Features

  • Supports Kyocera-Mita finishing features: duplexing, collating, stapling, hole punching, etc.

  • Connects up to 3 Kyocera printers and MFP's printers

  • Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol

  • Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol

  • High Speed printing - over 100 pages per minute

  • Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts

  • 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing

  • Multiple Host support (Power9, Power8 and all iSeries AS/400, and z14, z13 and all zSeries  S/390)

  • Multiple LAN protocols - TCP/IP (PPR/PPD, TN5250e, LPR/LPD), SNA (APPC), AnyNet (SNA over TPC/IP)

  • Host printing via Telnet (TN5250e and TN3270E), SNA (APPC) or AnyNet

  • Simple, one step set-up (auto configuration) when using TN5250e or TN3270e

  • Host controlled Printing, including error reporting, page range printing etc.

  • I-O's award winning IBM AFP/IPDS and SCS printer emulations

  • Easy to install and use, includes I-O's Configuration Utility software

High Speed Printing

Attached to the LAN, the 5755km supports the high-speed and high-performance Kyocera printers and MFPs.  Whether printing from an IBM i5, iSeries, AS/400 or a zSeries-S/390, fast printing can be obtained.  Data conversion is accomplished at the 5755km and sent to the printer via the Ethernet LAN.  Without the bottleneck of the parallel port the 5755km supports high-speed printing featured in Kyocera printers

Full Printing Control from IBM Host

The 5755km offers the same reliable, full-function IBM host printing and control found with direct Twinax/Coax attached printers. With the 5755km, IBM host print jobs are not lost in the black hole of LAN printing. The 5755km provides bi-directional communication between the Kyocera printers and the IBM host, allowing error reporting and page range printing.


Easy to Use

I-O's Configuration Utility software is included with every 5755km. Whether selecting TCP/IP or SNA, configuration is made easy through the use of a menu-based utility.
