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.
Wireless NIC (802.11b/g wireless)
The Wireless NIC provides 802.11b connectivity. The card provides wireless
connectivity without expensive cabling and reconfigurations required from a
wired network. PNE (standard with the wireless NIC), is a printer
management tool.
IPDS for Use with an ethernet or Twinax Host Interface
This option supports the IPDS language to allow a LAN connection as well as
a direct connection of the printer to an IBM host computer that uses the twinax
data interface. This option is applicable to non SL printers. 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. The printer
must have an ethernet or Coax/Twinax interface and a 300 DPI printhead
installed to support this field installed option.
