Printer Overview

This chapter provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions used within this manual.

The P7000 Series PSA3 Printer

The Printronix® P7000 PSA3™ Printer consists of 500, 1000, 1500, lines per minute (lpm) cabinet and pedestal models and a 2000 lpm cabinet model. All printer models are packaged in various configurations that offer software versatility and the latest refinements in printing technology. The print mechanisms are housed in sound-insulated cabinets which make the printer among the quietest line matrix printers in the world. Additionally, your printer has a flexible architecture that allows you to add new features and emulations as they become available.

LinePrinter Plus® is the standard emulation. LinePrinter Plus includes the Epson® FX-1050, Printronix P-Series, P-Series XQ, Serial Matrix and Proprinter® III XL emulations. Coax/Twinax, IPDSTM, ANSI®, LG, PCL2, IGP®/PGL®, and IGP/VGL graphics enhancement emulations are available as optional upgrades. No matter what emulation is installed, your printer is easy to use. The message display and lights on the control panel communicate with you directly and clearly. You can select every function on your printer at the control panel, or you can send commands from the host computer.
