AXIS 670e
Network Print Server
AS/400 and S/390 Token Ring printing in a multiprotocol Print Server
The Axis host-to-LAN print server provides a flexible and cost effective way to print to your LAN printers or digital copiers from your IBM AS/400 or Mainframe system. It enables high-speed printing over Token Ring networks without the need for application changes, host-based conversion software or intermediate servers.
Support for environments such as NetWare, UNIX and
Windows is also included. The flexibility to choose between multiple print methods including TN3270E and TN5250E, as well as SCS and IPDS data streams, makes it the ideal solution for the enterprise network.
Migrate Without Compromises
With simultaneous support for SNA and TCP/IP, Axis hostto-LAN print server offers an excellent transition to TCP/IPbased networking. The AXIS 670e Print Server will work in both environments without compromising control of the network printer. True bi-directional transport protocols assure a tight and controlled flow of status and data in a direct path between the IBM host system and the printer.
Users get the same functionality as from a traditional IBM printer connected over coax or twinax, including features such as error recovery, exception notification, job control and end-of-job notification.
With over 18 years of networking excellence, Axis offers solutions for printing needs in every wired and wireless environment. So get the most of your printers - with Axis!
