v
IGP:
This is an implementation of Intelligent Graphics Processor architecture and is
used commonly to create graphics for optical character recognition and bar
codes. This feature is also designed for those applications which use the
Graphics Language, which is often referred to as PGL.
This feature can coexist with the IBM Intelligent Printer Data Stream feature,
and/or with either coax/twinax feature or can be used on the ASCII models.
v
TN5250/TN3270 Emulations:
The TN5250/TN3270 feature enables your printer to communicate with an IBM
host through a Network Interface Card (NIC) using the 5250/3270 datastream.
This feature allows you to use an application generated for the Twinax/Coax
emulation to be printed through the NIC.
Users who are converting from Twinax to TN5250 may see some differences.
Please refer to “Compatibility and Limitations” on page 266 for details.
v
ANSI Emulation:
The ANSI option allows you to print files coded for the ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) printer control language.
v
Network Print Server:
Enables you to attach your printer to Local Area Networks using token-ring or
Ethernet protocols. The Network Print Server functions as a workstation server
on your network, enabling your users to submit print jobs to your printer.
The Network Print Server provides multiple network protocol support that
allows you to submit print jobs from Novell Netware, IBM LAN Server, IBM
AIX*, and other TCP/IP networks.
v
Dataproducts Adapter:
Supplies a 50 pin AMP Amplimite HDH-20 data cable connector. This feature is
necessary if you are using the Dataproducts parallel protocol.
v
Ethernet Interface:
Enables you to attach your printer to Local Area Networks using Ethernet
protocols. The Ethernet Interface functions as a workstation server on your
network, enabling your users to submit print jobs to your printer.
v
Power Paper Stacker:
Mechanically directs the paper from the printer to the paper stacking area. This
feature provides consistent paper handling with fewer paper jam errors.
v
Input Paper Shelf:
Pedestal model only. Provides a shelf to hold a box of paper or forms. This is a
convenient feature if you need to move the printer often.
