Printer Options - Datamax Prodigy Operator's Manual

1.2 Printer Options

The Printer hosts a number of different options that can be added to the
Printer for additional versatility. These options are described below.
CRT Terminal
A CRT terminal interface is available for configuring the Printer as a
stand-alone label definition and batch label printing system. Application
software is built into the Printer and can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
switches that are located on the rear of the Printer. When this internal
application software is selected, prompts for label creation and label
printing can be directly controlled by the Printer. Label formats are
stored on optional 32K SRAM memory modules.
Memory Modules
Optional 32K SRAM memory modules can be purchased to extend the
capabilities of the Printer in its CRT-based batch labeling system
mode(s). These memory modules can also be used to store bit-mapped
graphic images that are created by a host computing device. The
memory module(s) can be dedicated for either label formats or bit-
mapped graphic image arrays, or a 16K split of each.
PC-Batch Software
PC-Batch™ label creating and batch printing software is available for
IBM PCs and compatibles. The software has the look and feel of the
built-in application software, but uses a PC's memory and disk storage
to extend the capabilities of the Printer.
