Printronix SL_T5R Energy Star - Manual (Page 139)

PRINTER CONTROL Submenus
139
The SPC will support the same models as Printronix standard Twinax
printers.
The printer emulations supported by the SPC are Twinax 5225 and Coax
3287. The SPC also provides a range of interfaces available in your
thermal printer: Centronics, serial, coax, and twinax. Also supported are
Epson, Proprinter XL, P-Series, Serial Matrix, VGL, and PGL emulations.
The SPC has the ability to handle multiple print jobs concurrently through
coax/twinax and parallel and serial interfaces. This is accomplished
through the Auto Switching feature (see “Auto Switching” on page 281).
Because of hardware restrictions, coax and twinax cannot be selected
together.
For more information, refer to the Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference
Manual for the Simple Protocol Converter Option.
The factory default is Standard.
Host Interface
This option allows you to send print jobs through any interface with auto-
switching selected as host interface. It also allows a particular interface from
the menu to be selected.
The options are Auto Switching, Centronics, Serial, IEEE 1284, Twinax,
Coax, Ethernet and USB.
NOTE: The Twinax and Coax options appear only if the CT emulation is
installed.
The factory default is Auto Switching.
Active IGP Emul
This function allows you to activate any IGP emulation listed in the menu. The
choices are PGL, ZGL, TGL, IGL, STGL, DGL, IEGL, MGL, and VGL.
See page 12 for descriptions of each emulation. The default is PGL.
There are two methods for selecting the desired emulation:
• Select the emulation under the Active IGP Emulation menu option and
save it as Power-up Config.
• Send a host command to switch the emulation automatically (refer to the
appropriate
Programmer’s Reference Manual for details).
