All HP LaserJet printers use the de facto PCL standard to control the output to the printed page. The comparative standard for the IBM mainframe and AS/400 environment is called AFP/IPDS. By adding The Blue KitTM IPDS Flash/Dimm, IBM IPDS emulation is added to the HP LaserJet printers without having to change the existing LAN interface.
Simply plug in The Blue KitTM IPDS Flash/Dimm, power up the printer and
Your normal LAN printing will continue as before, but in addition you can receive AFP/ IPDS output over TCP/IP from IBM OS/390, OS/400 and AIX systems to be printed on your standard HP LaserJet printer.
The Blue KitTM IPDS Flash/Dimm can also be used to add IPDS emulation to HP LaserJet printers connected to IBM Coax (3270) and Twinax (5250) systems. Using the MPI Tech Coax or Twinax interfaces (HostCom) for physical connection, The Blue KitTM IPDS Flash/Dimm will add full IPDS compatibility and offer direct replacement of IBM printers using the HP LaserJet printers.
