I-O PrintBox RPC
Reverse Protocol Converter -
Convert Twinax/Coax to Parallel |
|
|
The I-O Print Box RPC protects your investment in IBM system printers when
migrating to LAN, UNIX, or other ASCII environments.
Overview
The reverse protocol converter interfaces between the attached Twinax or
coax IBM (or compatible) system printer and a LAN, RISC/6000, or other ASCII-based host
system.
The I-O Print Box RPC supports Epson FX or IBM Proprinter data streams
at over 1,500 lines per minute (LPM). The integrated LCD front panel allows user-friendly
customization, as well as status monitoring. The I-O Print Box RPC also offers a unique
diagnostics port for quick problem resolution and configuration review using the
additional ASCII printer port.
Introduce your system printer to the I-O Print Box RPC. Together, they
can handle heavy-duty print jobs at a fraction of the cost of a new printer.
