Option Cards
Four kinds of option cards are available for your printer:
•
Hard disk option
•
INA (Internal Network Adapter) option card
•
Tri-Port interface option card
•
Parallel 1284-C Adapter option card
Refer to the documentation that is included with each option card
for detailed information about that specific card.
The installation instructions are the same for each type of option
card. Therefore, they are grouped together. Installation
instructions begin on page 236.
Note: Only one option card can be installed in your printer at a
time.
Hard Disk Option Card
Like the flash memory option, the hard disk option is useful for
storing information such as downloaded fonts, macros, and
symbol sets.
Note: Data stored on the disk is kept in memory when the printer
is unplugged.
You can also use the hard disk option to store incoming print jobs
in a buffer until they print. Since hard disk memory provides
permanent storage, job buffering to the hard disk prevents the loss
of print job data if the printer loses power. It may also free your
application faster for other work. Job buffering is only available for
jobs transmitted across the standard parallel interface.
