Introduction
Printer Overview
This chapter provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions
used within this manual.
The Printer Family
The Printronix® P7000 H-Series consists of P7002H, P7202H, P7003H,
P7203H, P7006H, P7206H, P7008H, and P7208H models that are packaged
in various configurations. All of the models offer software versatility and the
latest refinements in line matrix printing technology. The print mechanisms
are housed in sound-insulated cabinets which make the printer family among
the quietest printers in the world. Additionally, your printer has a flexible
architecture that allows you to add new features and emulations as they
become available.
The printer combines the use of Flash and RAM for program execution. The
Flash is used for all program, font, and emulation storage. New fonts,
emulations, or program updates can be downloaded to Flash memory via the
parallel or serial interface, or through the PrintNet
® interface. The RAM is
used for buffers, print image storage, and execution variables. The Flash also
stores configuration, statistics, and internal parameters.
The printer model numbers indicate printing speed and physical configuration.
Model numbers beginning with P70 indicate pedestal models. Model numbers
beginning with P72 indicate cabinet models. The final two digits in the model
number refer to the printer’s maximum speed in lines per minute (lpm): 02 for
200 lpm, 03 for 300 lpm, 06 for 600 lpm, and 08 for 800 lpm.
