NOTE: The interface cable needed to connect the SLPA to the host device is
supplied by the user.

Optional Features

The following options are also available:
•
Fonts: A selection of fonts can be loaded from the host computer into
SLPA memory. Once loaded, these fonts are accessed in the same way
as the resident fonts. See Table 15 on page 268 for a list of optional fonts.
•
Memory Expansion (for non-IPDS SLPAs only):
•
16MB DRAM SIMM (single in-line memory module): Provides
additional memory to accommodate long label formats. Replaces
standard 8 MB Flash SIMM.
•
Twinax/Coax Host Interface: Provides connection to a host computer
system using a coaxial or twinaxial interface.
•
Network Interface Card (NIC): This option allows you to attach the SLPA
to a LAN (Local Area Network) rather than attaching it directly to a host
computer.
NIC adapters are available as an internally installed option, mounted
inside the SLPA with the 10/100Base-T (UTP) connection only.
NOTE: In this manual, the terms "Network Interface Card" (or "NIC") and
"Ethernet" are used interchangeably.
•
Wireless NIC: This card provides wireless 802.11b connectivity without
expensive cabling and reconfigurations required from a wired network.
•
IPDS: Available for coax/twinax, a NIC, or a combination of both. The
SLPA may be ordered with this option installed and the required hardware
to support it, or it can be field installed by an authorized service
representative at a later date. The SLPA must have a coax/twinax
interface or NIC, 300 dpi printhead, 16 MB DRAM, and 10 MB flash
memory installed to support this field-installed option.
•
TN5250/TN3270: Enables your SLPA to communicate with an IBM host
through a NIC using the 5250/3270 datastream. This feature allows you
to use an application generated for the twinax/coax emulation to be
printed through the NIC.
•
RS-422: Serial interface option.
