Simple Protocol Converter

The SPC gives the printer the operational ability to connect to any PC, or
network system supporting parallel or serial interfaces, and to three different
IBM host systems:
• System 3x
• AS/400

• 3270 Mainframes
The SPC will support the following third party models for Twinax: MODE 219,
MODE IBM, and MODE P5000.
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, P-Series, Serial Matrix, IGP/VGL, and IGP/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 page 78). Because of hardware restrictions,
coax and twinax cannot be selected together.
For more information, consult the Coax/Twinax Programmer’s Reference
Manual for the Simple Protocol Converter Option.
