AXIS 5570e and AXIS 5670e
Host-to-LAN Print Servers
Print from IBM host systems via any port to any printer
The Axis host-to-LAN print servers provide a flexible, reliable and cost effective way to print to all your printers or digital copiers directly from your IBM Mainframe (zSeries) or IBM
AS/400 (iSeries) system, without any need for application changes, host-based conversion software or intermediate servers.
Get the same functionality as from traditional IBM printers connected over coax or twinax, including features such as error recovery, exception notification and job control.
Improved System Throughput and Efficiency
The host-to-LAN print servers from Axis are developed according to the concept of distributed data conversion that delivers great scalability and helps freeing host system resources for more critical tasks, thus utilizing the IBM system more effectively and improving overall system throughput.
Use the AXIS ThinWizard management tool to control and overview every printer and print server in one single screen.
Manage the printing environment remotely, and increase efficiency and reliability in the network.
The AXIS 5570e has one USB and one parallel port, and AXIS
5670e has one serial and two parallel ports; both models have multi session capabilities.
TCP/IP SNA TN5250E TN3270E SCS IPDS
The Axis host-to-LAN print servers offer world-class support for IBM host system printing over TCP/IP and SNA networks.
The flexible solution supports multiple print methods including
TN3270E, TN5250E and PPR/PPD carrying SCS or IPDS data streams. This makes the Axis print servers the ideal solution for the enterprise network. n
