Host Interfacing - Printronix T3204 Maintenance Manual

Host Interfacing

The printer is extremely versatile and able to operate with a personal computer in
either serial or, optionally, parallel Centronics-compatible communications modes as
well as with IBM midrange computer systems using the optional twinax/coax
interface adapter. When using the standard serial port, the printer is DTE equipment
and supports both CTS/DTR and XON/XOFF handshaking.
The printer can also communicate in an "internal batch" mode with a standalone
terminal such as the LINK CRT (available only with the IGP/FGL emulation.)
