Plug-in IBM AFP/IPDS emulation for HP LaserJet printers

All the HP printers use the PCL standard to control the output to the printed page. The comparative standard for the IBM mainframe and AS/400-iSeries environment is called AFP/IPDS. By adding the Blue Kit™ IPDS Solution, IBM IPDS emulation is added to the HP LaserJet printer without having to change the existing LAN interface.

Simply plug in the Blue Kit™ IPDS, power up the printer and set-up the IBM required parameters using the control panel of the HP LaserJet printer.

Your normal LAN printing will continue as before, but in addition you can receive AFP/IPDS output over TCP/IP from IBM Mainframe systems, AS/400-iSeries and AIX systems to be printed on your standard HP LaserJet printer.

Blue Kit™ IPDS can also be used to add IPDE emulation to HP LaserJet printer connected to IBM Coax (3270) and Twinax (52250) systems. Using the MPI Tech Coax or Twinax interfaces (HostCom) for physical connection, the Blue Kit™ IPDS will add full IPDS compatibility and offer direct replacement of IBM printers using the HP LaserJet printers.

Being “HP Focus Solution” certified by HP, MPI Tech Blue Kit™ IPDS is the perfect solution for all IPDS Printing needs on HP LaserJet printers.
