Interface Options

Network Interface Card (NIC)
This option permits placing the printer on a LAN rather than attaching it
directly to a host system. The printer may be ordered with the NIC included in
the shipping carton or it can be field installed at a later date. Two NICs (both
are user installable at the rear panel of the printer) are available :
•
•
The printer can support only one NIC option at a time. NIC installation
instructions are available as part of the option kit as well as in the
Maintenance Manual.

CAUTION
You must power off the printer before you install or remove the EMC, or
you may damage the EMC and the printer. If you remove the EMC after
powering on the printer with the EMC installed, the fault message
"MEMORY REMOVED Check EMC" will display. You cannot clear this
message by reinserting the EMC. You must cycle power.
DBCS Character Sets and Fonts
Optional Asian Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) language cartridges can
be ordered. Each cartridge contains one Asian DBCS character set and font,
supporting Simplified Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, as well as user
addressable memory area to expand the printer flash memory capacity.
Andalé Fonts
The optional Andalé font is a TrueType
for virtually all languages used in the world today, such as Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean. Four different versions of the font are available for
purchase. Each of the four versions contains all of the same characters. The
files differ in that a few of the characters are customized for certain regions of
the world. Use UTF-8 encoded Unicode (recommended) or the 256 character
multinational character sets to address the font in PGL and ZGL. With the
ZGL emulation, it is also possible to use the Andalé font with downloaded
character sets. Only one version of the Andalé font will be present on the
EMC cartridge. For the font to be used, the EMC cartridge must be installed at
power-up. The font will be listed on the configuration printout under Features
Enabled (only one font will be present).
Ethernet 10/100Base-T. The Ethernet 10/100Base-T NIC supports data
transfer rates of 100 Mbps.
Wireless 802.11b/g. The wireless NIC provides wireless 802.11b/g
connectivity without expensive cabling and reconfigurations required from
a wired network. The PrintNet Enterprise Suite (PNE) remote
management software is standard with the wireless NIC.
