Bi-Directional Parallel Interface
The parallel interface of this printer allows bi-directional
communication with a computer. This interface allows the printer to
communicate back to the computer useful information such as the
amount of memory installed, and other printer setup conditions. As
the supplied Remote Printer Console or Windows 3.1 driver both
support the bi-directional mode, they can both report the printer
status.
Optional Apple Macintosh Interface (Pre-installed in some
countries)
The optional Apple Macintosh serial interface kit is available, which
allows your printer to be connected to Apple Macintosh computers.
With this option, you can use your printer with both an IBM PC, or
compatible and an Apple Macintosh at the same time. This optional
interface board can be used as an RS-422A interface for Macintosh or
an RS-232C serial interface for IBM PC or compatible.
Enhanced Memory Management
The printer has its own Data Compression Technology, which can
automatically compress graphic data and download font data
efficiently into the printer’s memory. You can avoid memory errors
and print most full page 300 dpi graphic and text data, including
larger fonts, with the printer’s standard memory.
Environmentally Friendly
Economy Printing Mode
This feature will cut your printing cost by around 50% by saving
toner. This feature is useful when draft copies are used for proof-
reading. You can select this mode on/off through the Remote Print
Console software or Windows printer driver supplied with your
printer.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the
printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 10W when in
sleep mode.
Low Running Cost
The toner cartridge is separate from the Drum Unit. You need to
replace only the toner cartridge after around 3,000 pages, which is
cost effective and ecologically friendly.
