The Lexmark IOP
Port
The Lexmark IOP port allows a network interface to send data to the
Lexmark PCL and PostScript interpreter with an extensively higher speed
than possible through a parallel PC cable. Additionally the IOP port
provides information of various hardware and software states to the AFP
IOP interface. With a unique native IOP language defined by Lexmark it
is possible to program the front panel push buttons and display to allow
front panel controlled user setup of the interface connected to the IOP
port. The native Lexmark settings are altered by means of the PJL
language invented by Hewlett Packard. The IOP port on the 4039 10 and
12 page printers does not deliver the appropriate voltage to the interface
card unless a DC/DC converter is installed in the 5 pole socket above the
interface.
AFP IOP Serial
I/O Port
The serial I/O port on the AFP IOP allows easy software upgrade of the
interface through a menu/mouse controlled PC utility program. The same
utility program can be used for setting up the front panel configurable
options also. The only benefit of using the utility program for setting up
the options is that instead of changing them one by one, they can all be
overwritten by a complete configuration file in one download operation.
The serial I/O port can also be used as a trace output port for dumping
system data sent from the HOST onto a serial attached PC. Contact your
local dealer/distributor for more information.
