Print Box TxS/CxS plus
The I-O Print Box TxS plus turns an ASCII laser or dot-matrix printer into a powerful Twinax SCS printer. It attaches virtually to any ASCII printer with a serial port to an IBM AS/400 iSeries host. The I-O Print Box CxS plus turns an ASCII laser or dot-matrix printer into a powerful Coax SCS printer. It attaches virtually any printer with a serial port to an IBM S390 – zSeries host
The I-O Print Box TxS/CxS plus is the most
reliable and hassle-free external connectivity solution for serially attached ASCII printers. It is specifically targeted at connecting specialty printers (such as bar code label printers) to IBM host systems. The I-O Print Box TxS/CxS plus offers these features:
- Attaches virtually any PC printer with an RS-232 serial
port to an IBM AS/400, System/3X, or 3270-type mainframe
host, or to a controller.
- Setup is quick and easy via the mouse-supported PC setup
software, through Host/PC download commands, and on-board
DIP switches.
- Comes with drivers for a wide variety of popular ASCII
printers including Hewlett-Packard PCL-type laser, Epson,
and IBM dot-matrix printers, and a generic driver for use
with specialty printers such as bar code label printers.
- Replaces and is 100% compatible with I-O's popular 8215
External Printer Interface.
- Comes with built-in intelligent printer sharing capabilities,
allowing the attached printer to be automatically shared
between twinax/coax and PC, LAN or RS/6000 users through
the RS-232 port, at no extra cost.
- Designed and tested for reliable operation in twisted
pair environments with an external Balun.
