A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

2. Introduction

The A/C-7P RO and the AC-7S RO are powerful, yet easy-to-operate external printer interfaces. You can easily set them up through on-board configuration switches or Host/PC download commands.

The A/C-7P RO and A/C-7S RO attach virtually any ASCII printer to an IBM 30XX, 43XX, 937X host, or 3174, 3274 or 3276 controller. They offer reliable emulations of IBM 3812, 4214, 4224, 3287, 3262 and 3268 printers (all non-IPDS™). When connected to a laser printer

operating in PCL® mode, the A/C-7 RO allows Computer Output Reduction (COR) and Automatic Page Orientation (APO). In addition, paper can be pulled from several sources and a multitude of fonts (printer-resident or from optional cartridges) are supported.

The A/C-7P RO comes with a standard parallel sharing port that allows automatic sharing of the attached printer between the host and a PC or LAN. The A/C-7S RO comes with a standard serial sharing port.
