FIRMWARE AND CHARACTER GENERATORS
1.9.1
FIRMWARE OF MACHINE
In addition to that separate from the generator and from the set characters, the management firmware of the
printer is controlled independently in load operations in order to facilitate immediate access for modifications to
the characters area.
The basic memory of the printer is a 1-MB Flash EPROM on which the management FW, character generators
and characters sets are held and can be replaced on line.
A second Flash EPROM (optional) with the same capacity, able to contain complex character sets or high
volumes of macros and logos, can be installed on the motherboard.
The machine firmware comprises the following emulations:
•
Olivetti environment: STD 12/14 controlled protocol with native PR2 E environment and PR40+ and
PR2845 emulation. Industry standard emulation IBM Proprinter II and Proprinter X24.
•
IBM environment: Emulation protocol 9068 with coverage of the 4722 model, Industry standard
emulation IBM Proprinter II and Proprinter X24.
•
Wincor-Nixdorf environment: Emulation protocol SNI 4915 with coverage of models 4905, Industry
standard emulation EPSON LQ 2550.
