SPUR Deluxe AS/400 Connectivity 

The Spur AS/400 Connectivity Solution

Print from an AS/400 across a Token Ring or Ethernet Network, or directly via Twin-ax.  The Deluxe can drive production printers at rated speed, using AS/400 remote print queues, commands, and accounting.

Spur AS/400 Network Connectivity Solution:

• Protects legacy Twin-Ax applications and adds network connectivity with second connections
• Spur Twin-ax input module emulates up to seven Twin-ax printers on a single Twin-ax line.
• Speeds printing performance by off-loading host transforms and eliminating shared folders
• Works seamlessly with all of the Deluxe connectivity and queue management capabilities
  
  * Note: If you are printing from the AS/400 via TCP/IP the TCP/IP Module is required.
