Printronix SLPA7000 User Manual page 131

The SPC will support the same models for Twinax as the Printronix
P5000 printer.
The printer emulations supported by the SPC are Twinax 5225 and Coax
3287. The SPC also provides a range of interfaces available in your
thermal printer: Centronics, serial, coax, and twinax. Also supported are
Epson, Proprinter XL, P-Series, Serial Matrix, VGL, and PGL emulations.
The SPC has the ability to handle multiple print jobs concurrently through
coax/twinax and parallel and serial interfaces. This is accomplished
through the Auto Switching feature (see "Auto Switching" in the T5000e
User's Manual ). Because of hardware restrictions, coax and twinax
cannot be selected together.
For more information, refer to the Coax/Twinax Programmer's Reference
Manual for the Simple Protocol Converter Option.
The factory default is Standard.
Host Interface
This option allows you to send print jobs through any interface with auto-
switching selected as host interface. It also allows a particular interface from
the menu to be selected.
The options are Auto Switching, Centronics, Serial, IEEE 1284, Twinax,
Coax, and Ethernet.
NOTE: The Twinax and Coax options appear only if the CT emulation is
The factory default is Auto Switching.
Active IGP Emul
This function allows you to activate the PGL or VGL emulation. There are two
methods for selecting the desired emulation: directly from the printer menu or
by sending a host command which will switch the emulation automatically
(see the appropriate Programmer's Reference Manual for details).
When changing from one IGP emulation to the other, the printer will load the
saved configuration. Thus, any setting performed before selecting those
interfaces and not saved in NVRAM will be lost.
IMPORTANT
When the ACTIVE IGP EMUL is switched from one IGP emulation to
another, the printer will load the settings saved under the Power-Up
Config. menu. These settings may not be the current settings in use
prior to switching the Active IGP emulation. The Print Mode, Media
Sensor, Media Handling, Calibration, Label Length, Label Width, and
other settings in use will change to the settings saved under the Power-
Up Config. menu. Therefore, insure that all desired settings are saved as
the printer Power-Up Config. menu settings before you switch the
Active IGP emulation.
The options are IGP/PGL (the factory default) and IGP/VGL.
installed. The Ethernet option appears only if a NIC is installed. The
Centronics and IEEE 1284 options do not appear if a NIC is installed.
