About the Ethernet Interface Option

Ethernet is a base band Local Area Network used to
connect multiple personal computers and peripherals
(stations) over twisted pairs of wire or co-axial cable.
It closely resembles IEEE 802.3 specification jointly
developed by Digital Equipment, Intel, and Xerox.
Originally invented by Xerox, Ethernet is a carrier sense,
multiple access, collision detect network (CSMA/CD). It is
designed to serve in networks with sporadic, occasionally
heavy traffic environments.

Chapter 2: About the Printer
CognitiveTPG's POS implementation is 10baseT. This
configuration of speed, cable, and connector design allows
installation and reconfiguration simplicity. Print speed
may be reduced during heavy network traffic conditions.
Some 100baseT (100Mbs) environments can be
supported if the network has implemented auto-negotiation
features that automatically down switch to a 10Mbs data
rates, upon detection of slower attached stations.
