Creo WinIPDS Pro enables any printer, MFP or other hardcopy printing devices to print IPDS from AFP enabled host systems such as iSeries, zSeries, InfoPrint Manager, Prisma etc.

Creo WinIPDS Pro is a software-only AFP/IPDS LAN Print Server, which can be installed in a matter of minutes on a Microsoft Windows PC, where it runs as a Windows Service.

Creo WinIPDS Pro is able to convert Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) into highly optimized Postscript or PCL5e for ensuring full support for advanced paper handling options and accurate exception handling and page job completion reporting.

Like hardware solutions such as embedded cards and conversion boxes, this product leverages your investment in IBM’s AFP/IPDS application technology by offering a much wider range of printing choices.

Comprehensive driver template collection exist for leading printer manufacturors such as Lexmark, Ricoh, Sharp, Canon and Konica Minolta. Also the WinIPDS Pro has been specifically adapted to provide high-speed IPDS printing in conjunction with the Creo Color Servers

WinIPDS Pro is suited for any printing environment, both workgroup and high volume production printing. You can choose to have WinIPDS Pro run hundreds of distributed printers and MFPs, or you dedicate WinIPDS Pro to drive one high-volume production printer and thereby function as a genuine IPDS RIP controller.

WinIPDS Pro support multiple Windows platforms such as Windows XP, Windows Server, Windows Vista or Windows7. Also it will run in virtualisation environments such as VMWare. The multithreading architecture of WinIPDS Pro will also exploit multiple CPU cores when processing multiple concurrent IPDS sessions.
