Long Lines Interface
Enables operation with a Dataproducts 2230 or 2260, differential drive,
balanced interface type controller. The interface can transfer up to 400,000
characters per second for distances up to 500 feet.
PI–3287 Printer Interface
Allows the L150 to emulate an IBM 3287 printer, and attaches to IBM 3274
or 3276 cluster controllers through Type A Interface. It may be used with or
without IGP–20 option.
IGP–20
The IGP–20 makes it easy to define, store, and then print forms and labels in
a single pass. Functions that can be performed with the IGP–20 are:
•On–line Forms Generation - boxes, corners, vertical and horizontal
lines, logos and special form size print can be generated for a preprinted
appearance.
•Variable Bar Codes - size, rotation, and bar code data fields are easy to
define and print.
•Expanded characters - characters can be created up to 99 times larger
than normal for labels, titles, and signs. The vertical and horizontal sizes
of characters are controlled independently to create different
appearances.
•Logos - expanded characters and reverse print can combine with
graphics to create customized logos. Up to 16 logos may be stored, then
called from a library for printing, either individually or in combination
with the create forms mode.
•Compressed Print– allows up to 132 characters printed on one line of
standard 8 1/2 inch wide paper.
•Reverse Print - allows printing reversed to white on black .
