Hardware Options
Interface Options
Coax/Twinax Host Interface
The coax/twinax host interface option mounts inside the printer and functions
as a protocol converter to allow the direct connection of the printer to a host
computer that uses either a coax or a twinax data interface. The printer may
be ordered with the coax/twinax option installed, or it can be field installed by
an authorized service representative.
Ethernet Interface Card
This option permits placing the printer on a LAN rather than attaching it
directly to a host system. It is mounted inside the printer. The printer may be
ordered with a Ethernet installed, or it can be field installed by an authorized
service representative.
Wireless Ethernet (802.11b wireless)
The Wireless Ethernet provides 802.11b connectivity. The card provides
wireless connectivity without expensive cabling and reconfigurations required
from a wired network. The remote management software, a powerful printer
management tool, is standard with the Wireless Ethernet.
IPDS for Use with Twinax Host Interface
This option supports the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) language to
allow direct connection of the printer to an IBM host computer that uses the
twinax data interface. The printer may be ordered with this option installed
and the required hardware to support it, or it can be field installed by an
authorized service representative at a later date. The printer must have a
Coax/Twinax interface and a 300 DPI Printhead installed to support this field
installed option.
IPDS for Use with an Ethernet
This option supports the IPDS language to allow a LAN connection. The
printer may be ordered with this option and the required hardware to support
it, or it can be field installed by an authorized service representative. The
printer must have a Ethernet and a 300 DPI Printhead installed to support this
field installed option.
