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.

For more information, consult the Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference Manual.

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.
