1–4 Introduction
The T3306 and T3308 Label Printers
The Printronix

T3306 and T3308 are thermal printers designed for point-of-
application label printing. Labels can be designed and printed using the standard
Printronix LP+ or optional IGP/PGL and IGP/VGL emulation languages. In
addition, the Label Matrix for Printronix label generation software package is
available as an option.
The T3306 and T3308 print at a maximum speed of 8 inches (203.2 mm) and 5
inches (127.0 mm) per second, respectively, with maximum print quality. All
popular bar codes are resident in the printer memory and can be printed with
adjacent, human-readable bar code interpretations. Scaleable outline Courier
and Letter Gothic, bit-mapped OCR-A and OCR-B character fonts that can be
printed in any of four directions are available as standard. An extensive selection
of optional scaleable outline and bit-mapped fonts is also available.
IGP/Auto Label Mapping

is standard and provides compatibility for programs
written for Printronix Wide Web line-matrix printers using Printronix IGP graphics
languages.

Printronix Dynamic Print Control provides exceptional print quality. A circuit
monitors the data to be printed and automatically adjusts the energy applied to
the thermal printhead for maximum performance.
The printers can be connected to communicate with the host via RS–232 and
RS–422 serial, Centronics-compatible parallel and, optionally, coax/twinax host
connections. The interface cable needed to connect the printer to the host device
is supplied by the user.
