The I-O 5755dp 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 a Canon imageRunner printer. The I-O 5755dp 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, the I-O 5755dp Gateway supports Canon's value added finishing features.

• Connects any Canon imageRUNNER series printer
• Supports finishing features: duplexing, collating, stapling, hole punching, etc.
• Supports Advanced Function Printing (AFP) using IPDS protocol
• Also supports standard Host printing using SCS protocol
• High Speed printing - up to 300 pages per minute
• Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts
• 10 / 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, auto sensing
• Multiple Host support (AS/400 iSeries, Mainframe zSeries, Windows, Unix)
• Multiple LAN protocols (SNA, TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBIOS)
• 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 PrintControl™ utility software

Features	Benefits
AFP/IPDS & SCS Printing	IBM host print jobs can be printed on an imageRunner printer in an Ethernet environment
High Speed Printing, 100+ ppm	Data conversion is accomplished at the 5755dp and sent to the imageRunner via the Ethernet LAN - Without the bottleneck of the parallel port the 5755dp supports high-speed printing featured in imageRunner printers
I-O Customized Finishing Comands	Canon finishing features such as duplexing, collating, stapling, folding, hole-punching, etc. can be utilized in a host environment
Full IBM Host Control of Print Jobs	The 5755dp provides bi-directional communication between the host and the printer, via port 9100 and PJL commands
Remote Printing	The imageRunner can be attached locally or remotely via a WAN or VPN network. The imageRunner does not need to be next to the 5755dp.
I-O's Award Winning Printer Emulations	All AFP/IPDS and SCS functions such as duplex, page offset, COR, fonts and barcode, are fully supported by the 5755dp.
Enhanced Telnet 5250 (TN5250e)and Telnet 3270 (TN3270e)	Communicates with the IBM Host using native TCP/IP.
Page Offset Functions	Provides more flexibility in page positioning with no need to modify host applications.
Supports over 100 AFP/IPDS Fonts	There are more fonts to choose from than other AFP/IPDS interfaces.
On-board FLASH Memory	Allows for field upgrades providing the latest new features from I-O.
Printer error reporting to the host	Prevents loss of host print data by providing the same level of print status reporting as a twinax or coax printer.
Page range printing	Permits users to print select page ranges from large documents and reports.
Off-loading of Data Conversion	Eliminates unnecessary overhead by converting EBCDIC data to ASCII data directly on the I-O 5755e.
Simultaneous, multi-host printing	Maximizes printer utilization by supporting concurrent printing not only from the host but from Novell, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, etc.
10BaseT and 100BaseT	Provides versatility in attaching to LANs at different speeds.
Auto configuration	Installs in minutes.
Powerful RISC processor	Takes advantage of the LAN printer's maximum print speed even when processing IBM Host jobs.
