Interface Module

The Interface Module is located on the left side of the 301 DFS. It is the physical link 
between the 301 DFS and the host machine. It enables copy sets to feed from the host 
machine to the 301 DFS for automatic binding into documents. 

Below is an illustration of the major components of the Interface Module.
