Options

Your print engine can be equipped with the following options. Contact your equipment supplier for further information and pricing.

Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM)

An optional 8 MByte SIMM increases the graphic and font storage capacity of the printer and/or increases the print length. As this is volatile memory, contents will be lost when the printer is turned off.

Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Association (PCMCIA) Memory Card

The Type I or Type II PCMCIA memory card is used for graphic, font, and label format storage. This card is an 8 MByte, non-volatile memory device, so the contents are not lost when the printer is turned OFF.

Communication Interfaces

IBM® Twinax Interface

This interface emulates IBM System 3/X and AS/400 (5224, 5225, 5256, and 4214) printers. This option comes with an auto-terminating one-foot “Y” connector cable.

IBM Coax Interface

This interface emulates an IBM System 3287 printer used in the IBM 3270 environment. This option comes with a BNC connector to interface to your host mainframe’s controller.

ZebraNet™ Micro Print Server (MPS)

Allows you to connect a Zebra printer to your Ethernet network. Available for 10BaseT networks.
