Printer Options

This section contains a list of the options you can use with the printer along with a brief description. Consult your Intermec representative to order any option.

Communication Interface

EasyLAN 10i Interface

This option lets you connect your printer to a 10BaseT Ethernet network. Various network printing protocols are available. For more information, see your EasyLAN 10i documentation.

EasyLAN 10i2 Adapter

The external EasyLAN 10i2 Ethernet adapter (P/N 072885) and the internal EasyLAN 10i2 Ethernet adapter (P/N 072884) allow you to share your available printer resources with everyone on your Ethernet network. With the EasyLAN 10i2 adapter installed, the parallel port on the printer is not available for use. For more information, see the EasyLAN 10i2 documentation.

EasyLAN Wireless Option

The EasyLAN Wireless is an 802.11b radio option that lets the printer communicate wirelessly with a PC that contains an 802.11b radio card (ad-hoc network) or it can communicate with other devices via an access point (infrastructure network) in your data collection network. For more information, see the EasyLAN Wireless documentation.

Twinax Interface

This option lets you connect your printer to an IBM twinaxial cable system with a twinax interface so your printer emulates an IBM 5256 Model 1 printer and can operate with an IBM System/34, System/36, System/38, or AS/400 host computer.

Coax Interface

The coax interface adapter allows the printer to emulate an IBM 3287 printer by connecting the printer to IBM 3270 Type A coaxial cable computer systems operating in the VTAM (CICS/IMS/TSO) or 8100 (DPPX) environments. With the coaxial adapter you can connect the printer to an IBM 3174/76/99 system controller/multiplexer.
