Interface Options

Wireless NIC (802.11 a/b/g/n wireless)

The Wireless NIC provides 802.11 a/b/g/n 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.

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

GPIO is both hardware and software. The hardware is the actual IO board to be mounted in the printer
the software is the GPIO Manager which is part of PNE. The GPIO hardware is a printed circuit board
containing optically isolated inputs and outputs as well as relays. The GPIO software is both a printer
resident GPIO event parser and a PC-based GPIO manager that allows the user to define how the general
purpose IO hardware should behave for the given application.

Parallel (Centronics or IEEE-1284)

An optional parallel interface that enables the printer to operate in Centronics or IEEE-1284 mode. The
choice is made via the Host IO > Control > Parallel Choice menu.

Software Options

IPDS over Ethernet

This option supports the IPDS language to allow a LAN connection and is only available with standard firmware
(excludes TN 5250 and Postscript/PDF). The printer may be ordered with this option enabled by an SPX key or
by an authorized service representative. The printer must have a 300 DPI printhead installed.

Telnet

The TN firmware enables your printer to communicate with an IBM host through a network interface using
the 5250 datastream. This feature allows you to use an application generated for the coax/twinax
emulation to be printed through the network interface.

Postscript/PDF

The Postscript/PDF firmware enables your printer to support Postscript and PDF applications directly from
the host computer making your ERP and WMS integration simple.

Premium Asian Fonts

A selection of three different purchasable Asian fonts can be provided (one font per SD card). These Asian
fonts include Hanzi GB, Kanji SJIS, and Hangul, are available for use when the SD card is installed.
Andalé Fonts
A selection of four different purchasable Andale fonts can be provided (one font per SD card). The Andale
fonts will become active when the SD card is installed.

Quick Change Memory Cartridge

The QCMC provides the ability to duplicate an entire printer's firmware, saved configurations, and custom
files quickly through the printer's control panel with a user friendly interface.
