Connectivity And Compatibility - Printronix P7000 Brochure & Specs

ASSET PROTECTION
Today's IT environment is changing faster than ever and
it is impossible to tell what is going to be required of your
IT assets in the future. This is why a new PSA
with expanded memory and capabilities was developed
especially for the P7000. Just as the P5000 was able to
grow with a changing IT environment for nine fast-paced
years, the P7000's new PSA3 controller provides all the
base foundation and necessary room to grow with the
next generation of changes. So, whether your needs
evolve to new data streams or expanded wireless options,
your investment will be protected with the P7000.

CONNECTIVITY AND COMPATIBILITY

The P7000 provides the most connectivity and emulation
options available on any impact printer. Mix and match
between wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, parallel,
serial, Coax and Twinax. Couple this flexibility with
automatic port switching and you can easily connect your
new line matrix printer to multiple systems. Often this
is an ideal solution for environments migrating between
hosts. Available emulations include P-Series, PGL, VGL
(Code-V), DEC LG, PCL 2, ANSI, IPDS, CT, and the most
common serial matrix languages. What is most important
about all of these emulations and connectivity options is
seamless compatibility. By design and through rigorous
testing, the P7000 is able to seamlessly replace any
previous Printronix line matrix printer and
virtually any competing legacy impact product.
FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE
Understanding that often a simple modification
to the application is just not possible, all P7000 printers
come standard with the ability to intercept and modify a
data stream before printing. Any changes can be corrected
or modified to create the desired output without any
costly host application modification.
ETHERNET WITH JOB CONTROL
There is a large installed base of coax and twinax
connected line printers. Traditionally, migrating away
® 3 controller from Twinax or coax to Ethernet eliminated the costly
and inflexible infrastructure, but also eliminated the
valuable job control. Now, with TN3270, TN5250, or
the latest IPDS, the choice between cost/flexibility and
control is eliminated. Using these new options, you can
migrate to Ethernet printing and still maintain all the
job control these mission critical applications require.
PRINTNET ENTERPRISE
Successful organizations are flexible enough to meet
new requirements in a changing marketplace. PrintNet
Enterprise provides this flexibility by placing total control
of worldwide print operations in your IT network manager's
hands. By combining a fully
integrated Ethernet adapter and
Java-based remote management
software, this remote printer
management tool provides:
• Increased IT resource efficiency – Centrally manage,
organize and control Printronix printers remotely on
a LAN/WAN and remotely control, configure, manage
and monitor printers over the network
• Reduced downtime costs – Maximize printer uptime
by instant response to printer issues from email, pager
or cell phone alerts
• Maximized security – Utilize PrintNet Enterprise remote
front panel emulation to change, secure and protect
printer configurations by locking out unauthorized users
• Complete compatibility – Designed for upward compatibility
to support and manage the entire Printronix family of
future printers in a fast expanding network. These printers
are fully compatible with existing Printronix line matrix,
thermal bar code and fanfold printing solutions that
frequently operate in the same enterprise network.
