Introduction; General; What The Package Includes - Black Box PC124C Installation Manual

2.1 General

The Laser Card is an interface for internal installation in Hewlett-Packard printers
with the new PCI-based EIO slot. Two models are available:
• Laser Card for HP 4000 Twinax (part number PC124C)
• Laser Card for HP 4000 Coax (part number PC125C)
With the Laser Card for HP 4000 Twinax installed, your printer will emulate an
IBM 3812-1 (non-IPDS) printer when attached to an IBM AS/400, System/34,
System/36, or System/38 host processor, or a 3287/3812-1 (non-IPDS) printer
when attached to a 5X94 controller. With the Laser Card for HP Coax installed,
your printer will emulate an IBM 3287, 3262, 3268, 3812-1, 4212, or 4224 (non-
IPDS) printer when attached to an IBM 30XX, 43XX, or 937X host or 3174, 3274,
or 3276 controller.
Printer auto-sharing in the HP LaserJet printer is accomplished using the
printer's additional option slots or integrated parallel or serial ports. The HP
printer will handle data from the parallel/serial ports as well as the internal option
ports. This allows you to attach your printer to a personal computer (PC) or LAN,
as well as the IBM host and automatically change between host and PC/LAN
printing without changing cables or switches.
You can choose setup options to control the printer's output by using the
printer's LCD display or making selections using host-download commands.
