Mocha TN3812 by MochaSoft is a lightweight terminal emulation utility designed to turn any Windows-attached printer into an AS/400-accessible output device. By implementing the TN5250 protocol on top of IPv4, the program lets System i hosts running OS V4R1 or newer see a local or network printer as a standard 3812 remote writer queue; print jobs encoded in SCS/EBCDIC are converted transparently and delivered over SSL/TLS 1.0-1.2 without extra middleware. Administrators only need to supply the AS/400 IP address and a descriptive device name—no 5250 client is required on the server side—and the queue becomes immediately visible to host applications. Version 1.5, the first and current release, supports Windows 7, 10 and 11 in both 32- and 64-bit flavors, relies on Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, and can be minimized to the system tray for unattended operation; legacy XP systems can still run builds up to 1.2 provided .NET 4.0 is present. A built-in spooler holds incoming jobs locally, allowing users to preview or redirect them before actual printing, while landscape orientation and automatic upgrades are included in the lifetime license. Typical scenarios range from small offices that want to share an existing laser or label printer with their IBM i ERP software, to data centers migrating from twinax controllers to TCP/IP without replacing hardware. The single-user license costs USD 19.85 and a company license USD 199, both granting perpetual rights to future updates. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
