The I-O 8320 Internal Printer Interface Card allows EPSON printers, including the DFX-5000+ and 8500, with a slot for optional interface cards (C82305/C82306)to be attached to an IBM AS/400 or System/3X host.

The I-O 8320 offers true IBM printer emulations including 3812-1 (non-IPDS), 4214 and 5224. When using an EPSON laser printer with data or word processing applications, Computer Output Reduction (COR) and Automatic Page Orientation (APO) can be used to print reports on letter size paper.

The I-O Command Pass-ThruTM feature allows complete access to all user-programmable printer features. The printer sharing port on the interface card is auto-switching, offering intelligent Host/PC printer sharing and maximum printer flexibility.

IBM compatible printing, PLUS additional features provide significant cost savings over traditional twinax printing.
