JetCAPS® IPDS 100
The JetCAPS IPDS 100 expands the capabilities of your HP LaserJet printer to handle both network and IBM AS/400 or mainframe jobs.
Do you find that the only reason you have certain printers taking up office space and requiring maintenance effort and investment is that they are handling print jobs from a different system? Would it not help if you could rationalize your printer pool and decouple your printer hardware from software and operating system considerations, and quickly avail of all the benefits for which you have chosen HP LaserJet printers?
The JetCAPS IPDS 100 enables distributed printing of AFP/IPDS jobs from IBM mainframe and midrange computers on monochrome and color workgroup HP LaserJet printers in your network, giving you full flexibility and helping you take full advantage of your printer investment.
How does it work?
The JetCAPS IPDS 100 DIMM is easily installed in a free memory slot in your HP LaserJet printer. When the printer is powered on again, IPDS is among the active languages, and the printer is ready to receive IPDS jobs using the TCP/IP protocol. The automatic language switching on your HP LaserJet printer examines incoming print jobs and selects the appropriate page description language, whether it is PCL, PostScript or IPDS, so you can use your HP LaserJet printer for both your usual network printing and for your IBM AS/400 or mainframe jobs.
HP Chai technology in recent HP LaserJet printers, includes an embedded web server on the printer, which lets you configure, manage and troubleshoot the JetCAPS IPDS 100 using a standard web browser, wherever your printer is located in your local area network.
A Windows-based tool provides similar functionality for older models.
