Introduction to the twinax interface

This user's manual describes how to use an Intermec printer with a twinax
interface adapter in an IBM twinax cable system. The twinax interface enables
the printer to operate with an IBM System/34, System/36, System/38, or
AS/400 host computer. With the twinax interface, your Intermec printer
emulates an IBM 5256 Model 1 printer. Host-to-printer commands are sent from
the host computer to the twinax interface. The twinax interface converts
EBCDIC/IBM twinax protocol into ASCII/Intermec printer protocol.
The following figure illustrates how an Intermec printer with twinax interface
fits into an IBM twinax system.
