The QMS 2060 Print System has many options which expand its
capabilities.

In addition to the two standard interfaces (CrownNet Ethernet and
Centronics/IEEE 1284 parallel) your printer supports optional network
interfaces such as DECnet-TCP/IP, IBM 3270/5250A, and CrownNet
Token-Ring as well as a second CrownNet Ethernet interface. Addi-
tional interface options allow greater flexibility when working in a com-
plex network environment.
» Note: The LocalTalk network or single Macintosh interface
information is contained in “Using a LocalTalk Interface” on page 3-8,
and the serial interface information is contained in “Using a Serial
Interface” on page 3-17.
An optional network interface is installed in the optional interface
opening on the back of the printer. This opening is to the left of the
other interface ports, and it is covered with a rectangular metal plate.
The printer’s simultaneous interface operation (SIO) allows the
optional interfaces to be active at the same time as the other ports. In
other words, your printer can communicate through up to four ports
with four host computers or computer networks. One host can inter-
face through the parallel port, one through the optional serial port,
one through the Ethernet port, and one through the optional network/
Localtalk interface port. See your QMS vendor for a list of available
optional network interfaces available.
