Printronix Dynamic Print Control provides exceptional print quality. A circuit
monitors the data to be printed and automatically adjusts the energy applied
to the thermal printhead for maximum performance.
The printer can be connected to communicate with the host via RS-232 and
RS-422 serial, Centronics
parallel, and, optionally, coax/twinax host connections or Ethernet
10Base-T, or 10/100 Base-T. The interface cable needed to connect the
printer to the host device must be supplied by the user.
