Small-size and low acoustic noise
Although a flash fixing system is employed, an advanced acoustic noise
reduction feature is incorporated that reduces the acoustic noise emission to a
level that is comparable to that of a thermal roller fixing type laser printer.
Further, the printer size is minimized to permit effective office space utilization.
Printronix System Architecture (PSAt)
The controller is compatible with all requirements of the PSA system. This
means that all PSA compatible emulations (IGP/PGL, IGP/VGL, Lineprinter
Plus, HP PCL5, etc.) can be accommodated, and are configured by exchanging
floppy disks.
Wide Selection of Host Interfaces
A wide variety of host interfaces are provided. Serial RS-232/422, Centronics
parallel, and Dataproducts parallel (requires optional cable adapter) are standard,
with IBM Coax and Twinax available as options. A serial diagnostic port is also a
standard feature.
Suitable for wide applications
User needs were analyzed to make the printer capable of satisfying a wide variety
of applications. For example, it can serve as a high-speed, high-quality line
printer, graphics printer, or bar-code printer.
