AXIS AFP IOP User's Manual
Thank you for purchasing the AXIS AFP IOP Printer Interface. Our goal
in developing this product is to enable you to connect your Lexmark
Optra series of printers or the 4039 series of printer to your IBM IPDS
environment, allowing you to take full advantage of both the IPDS
functions and your printer capabilities.
Axis Communications, founded in 1984, is one of the world's fastest
growing companies in the printer interface and network print server
market. The head quarters are located in Lund, Sweden, with subsidiaries
in Boston, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
Axis Communications has a distributor network operating in more than
60 countries world-wide, marketing three product lines:
CD-ROM servers provide a flexible and cost-efficient solution for sharing
CD-ROMs across the network. They are available in Ethernet (AXIS 850/
851) and Token Ring (AXIS 950/951) versions, with or without built in
drive option.
These intelligent Ethernet and Token Ring print servers support a wide
range of LAN protocols. The AXIS NPS 530, 532, 550 and AXIS 150 are
Ethernet print servers, and the AXIS NPS 630, 632 and 650 are Token
Ring print servers.
These products include a wide range of plug-in interfaces and free standing
box products such as the Cobra+ and the AFP IPDS-to-PostScript
converter.

    • Best performance is obtained by using the Lexmark Optra series, which is built around a new Graphics Engine based on an object oriented design. The AXIS AFP IOP creates an HP PCL5 raster image for each page to ensure 100% compatibility with the AFP architecture, and the new Graphics enterpreter of the Lexmark Plus series can maintain full printspeed during processing of complex graphics jobs.
