Optional Features
29
•
Ethernet Interface Card: This option allows you to attach the printer to a
LAN (Local Area Network) rather than attaching it directly to a host
computer.
Ethernet adapters are available as an internally installed option, mounted
inside the printer with the 10/100Base-T (UTP) connection only.
•
IPDS: IPDS
™
is available for Twinax or a Ethernet or a combination of
both. (IPDS is not supported in SL/RFID models).
•
TN5250/TN3270: The TN5250/TN3270 feature enables your printer to
communicate with an IBM host through a Ethernet using the 5250/3270
datastream. This feature allows you to use an application generated for
the Twinax/Coax emulation to be printed through the Ethernet. (TN5250/
3270 is not supported in SL/RFID models).
•
Online Barcode Validator: This option provides online validation of
printed barcodes. When you incorporate a bar code quality procedure into
the printing process, you will increase the overall bar code quality, reduce
waste from misprinted bar codes, and achieve high, first-time read rates.
This is increasingly important in newer, more efficient systems where
manually entered data is not acceptable as a back-up function. Validation
also minimizes the cost of returned products due to poor reading or
unaccountable bar codes.
•
RS-422: Serial interface option.
•
Wireless Ethernet: This card provides wireless 802.11b connectivity
without expensive cabling and reconfigurations required from a wired
network.
