Coax Interface
Allows connection of the 3600 printer to IBM coax systems. The 3600 emulates
an IBM 3287 printer by connecting the printer to IBM 3270 Type A coax cable
computer systems operating in the VTAM (CICS/IMS/TSO) or 8100 (DPPX)
environments. Connection can be made to an IBM 3174/76/99 system
controller/multiplexer.
Parallel Interface
This option lets the user connect the 3600 to a PC through any Centronics™
parallel interface in addition to the standard serial interface.
Network Connectivity
Using the Parallel Interface option and an Ethernet or other network adapter,
the 3600 can be connected to a network.
Kanji/Katakana Character Support
The 3600 has two Kanji/Katakana options: bitmap fonts only, or outline and
bitmap fonts. Users shipping finished materials or work in process materials to
Japan can meet Japanese label requirements for Kanji/Katakana (JIS
Interleaved 2 of 5).
Batch Takeup
A larger diameter liner takeup hub permits printed labels to be spooled for
later use without causing as much label curl as the smaller diameter hub. The
maximum takeup outside diameter is 5 inches.
