Connecting the Printer to an AS/400

To connect a printer directly to an AS/400 or midrange computer, you need
a twinax adapter card.
a twinaxial cable equivalent to IBM part number 7362267 or 7362062. The
maximum cable length for the twinax interface is 5,000 feet (1,525 meters).
If you did not have the twinax card installed at the factory, a field service
technician can install the field installable option (Part No. 056835) in the
optional I/O board port of your printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with the
twinax adapter card.
Note: If you are using a midrange computer other than the AS/400, refer to your
system documentation for information on cabling and setting up communications.

Connecting the Printer to a Mainframe

To connect the printer directly to an IBM mainframe, you need
a coax adapter card.
a coaxial cable equivalent to IBM part number 2577672 or 1833108.
The maximum cable length allowed is 4,920 feet (1,500 meters). See the IBM
specification Installation and Assembly of Coaxial Cable and Accessories, part
number GA27-2805-4, for further information.
If you did not have the coax card installed at the factory, a field service
technician can install the field installable option (Part No. 056836) in the I/O
board port of your printer.
For help on cabling and communications, see the manual that comes with your
coax adapter card.
