High Speed IPDS Print Server for Colour Printers and Multi Function Copiers

Highlights

Plugs into the network as a stand-alone printer server in a matter of seconds Supports IPDS to any PostScript/PCL5 capable Printer og MFP  IPDS capability fully comparable to the latest IBM Infoprint Printers Supports native printer features such as hole punch stapling etc. through drivers, fully customizable through the Web GUI  Performance optimized by extensive use of printer caching and resource capture mechanisms Full end-to-end printer status and page counter control Throughput of up to 500 ppm monochrome printing, and 200 ppm full colour printing Up to 64 simultaneous IPDS print sessions Loadable custom driver templates for differents printers and MFPs Optional remote management by GateManager™

Operation principle in brief

The IAPS receives IPDS over a TCP/IP network and routes PCL or PostScript to standard TCP/IP printer ports. While printing, the IAPS monitors printer status via SNMP. Thereby, it logically integrates into the targeted printers, retaining the high level of strict bi-directional control that characterizes IPDS. The printer retains its ability to print all kinds of incoming print jobs, and the IAPS itself can be placed anywhere on the network.  

Custom Drivers ensuring exact compatibility with printer brand and model

The Intermate IAPS target printer drives can be fully customized to support any printer brand and model and all of its printing options. Our large driver template collection has been accumulated from experience gathered from numerous installations world wide. Several driver templates have been officially QA bluestamped by Intermate as result of formal testing according to the high Intermate IPDS Ultra integration testing standards. A driver template will ensure you that the IAPS IPDS can address all printer brand and model specific printer options, such as tray and bins, finishing options, edge to edge printing etc. This means that the IAPS IPDS is fully integrated with and optimized towards the target printer, just as any build-in DIMM or similar hardware solution would be, but while retaining the flexibility of a generic solution.

Printer and MFPs models for which the IAPS IPDS offer custom pre-made template include the following manufacturers:
