Chapter 3 PRINTER CONTROL
CTHI Emulation
This item appears only when the CTHI option is installed.
CTHI Emulation selects the operation of the CTHI option as either a standard
or simple protocol converter.
• Standard
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 Model 2
• 5225 Models 1, 2, 3, and 4
The standard Coax/Twinax emulation selection will only be available if
Coax or Twinax is selected from the HOST INTERFACE menu.
NOTE: For more information, consult the
Coax/Twinax Programmer’s
Reference Manual
.
• Simp Prot Conv (Simple Protocol Converter)
The Simple Protocol Converter (SPC) option allows those who use add-
on coax or twinax protocol converters to produce the same output on an
IBM thermal printer with the Coax/Twinax (CTHI) capability as done using
a non-CT printer with the third party converter interfaces. The SPC gives
the printer the operational ability to connect to any PC or network system
supporting parallel or serial interfaces, and to three different IBM host
systems.
• System 3x
• AS/400*
• 327x Control Units
The SPC will support the same models for Twinax as the IBM 6700
printer.
The printer emulations supported by the SPC are Twinax 5225 and Coax
3287. The SPC also provides a range of interfaces available in your
thermal printer: Centronics, serial, coax, and twinax. Also supported are
Epson, Proprinter XL, P-Series, Serial Matrix, VGL, and PGL emulations.
The SPC has the ability to handle multiple print jobs concurrently through
coax/twinax and parallel and serial interfaces. This is accomplished
through the Auto Switching feature (see “Auto Switching” on page 297).
Because of hardware restrictions, coax and twinax cannot be selected
together.
For more information, refer to the
Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference
Manual
for the Simple Protocol Converter Option.
The factory default is Standard.
