Key Features
- Powerful printing solutions - not available from IBM!
- Up-to-date IBM printer emulations!
- Easy access to user-programmable functions such as bar codes!
- The 4590 printer is equipped with an integrated, advanced function IBM compatible interface. The intelligent interface houses both coax and twinax printer emulations, and it will automatically configure itself to the IBM system on power-up.
- The printer attaches to the IBM system via an adapter cable that is also available from GENICOM. The high-performance interface allows hex pass-through for accessing specialized printer functions, such as bar codes, oversize characters, and IBM configuration options. All parameters of the interface are host- controlled.
