CHAPTER 2: Introduction

2. Introduction

2.1 General Overview

The HPIIISi Twinax Card is a

twinax interface that can be installed in a

Hewlett-Packard

printer with an MIO interface port, such as the HP®

LaserJet®IIISi, 4, 4 Plus, 4Si, 4V, 5, DeskJet®1200 or 1600, etc. With the

Card installed, your

printer will emulate an IBM

3812-1

(non-IPDS) printer

when attached to an IBM AS/400®, System/34, System/36, or System/38

host processor.

An auto-sharing parallel port on the Card lets you attach your printer to a

PC as well as the IBM host. It automatically switches between host and PC

printing without your having to change cables or reset switches.

You can choose setup options to control the printer’s output at the

printer’s operator panel or by sending host/PC download commands to

the Card. You can access advanced printer features with the Card’s special

commands, its proprietary graphics language, and its “command pass-

through” feature

2.2 Unpacking

When you receive the Card, check the packaging for water or physical

damage, and notify the carrier immediately if any damage is evident. Keep

the original packaging in case the Card needs to be moved or shipped.

The following items should be in your package:

• The HPIIISi Twinax Card

• Auto-terminating twinax

V-cable

• This manual

If anything is missing, notify your supplier.
