Coax/Twinax Emulation

Standard C/T Interface

With a standard coax interface, the printer emulates the following IBM coax
printer models:
•3287 Models 1 and 2
•4234 Model 1
With a standard twinax interface, the printer emulates the following IBM
twinax printer models:
•4234 Models 2 and 12
•5225 Models 1, 2, 3, and 4
NOTE: The standard Coax/Twinax emulation selection will only be available
if Coax or Twinax is selected from the HOST INTERFACE menu. See
page 77.

Simple Protocol Converter

The Simple Protocol Converter (SPC) option allows those who use third party
add-on coax or twinax protocol converters to produce the same output on a
Printronix thermal printer with the Coax/Twinax (CTHI) capability as done
using a non-CT printer with the third party converter interfaces.
The SPC replaces the third party add-on protocol converters attached to older
Printronix thermal printers.
