Optional
Interfaces
QMS 1660E Print System Reference 6-38
CrownNet (Ethernet/Token-Ring) network interface or a LocalTalk
interface. These additional interfaces allow you greater flexibility when
working in a multiple environments.
An optional interface is installed in the OPT I/O opening on the back
of the printer. This opening is covered with a rectangular metal plate.
The printer’s simultaneous interface operation (SIO) allows the
optional interface to be active at the same time as the other ports. In
other words, your printer can communicate through up to four ports
with four host computers or computer networks. One host can inter-
face through the parallel port, one through the serial port, one through
the Ethernet port, and one through the optional interface port. See
your QMS vendor for a list of optional network interfaces available.
CrownNet Network Interface
The QMS CrownNet network interface card (NIC) is an internal,
RISC-based combination of a network interface card and host
software that allows your printer to be connected to either an Ethernet
or a Token-Ring network. The CrownNet NIC supports the following:
» Note: The functionality of the CrownNet Ethernet NIC is identical to
the Ethernet interface resident on your printer.
