Laser Printers
Laser printers combine excellent print quality with print speed—faster than the fastest, dot-matrix serial
printers at higher cost. Laser printers are recommended for systems with average printing workload in which
high print quality is important.
HP 5000 Fanfold Printers
HP 5000 printers are supported on HP e3000 900 Series systems through a dedicated SCSI (small computer
system interface) interface channel. The CIO SCSI Host Adapter Card (27251A) and HP-PB SCSI Host Adapter
Card (28642A) are industry-standard local I/O busses that allow computer connections to certain peripherals.
They support the SCSI common command and message set, as well as asynchronous and synchronous data
transfers.
Requirements:
• MPE/iX 4.0 or later
• CIO SCSI Host Adapter Card (27251A) or HP-PB SCSI Host Adapter Card (28642A)
• Fiber-optic SCSI extender (28643A) with one distance option (AFB or AFD)
• One additional SCSI cable from extender to printer
Configuration Limitations:
• Only one HP 5000 printer per SCSI channel
• Up to four HP 5000 printers per system, depending on slot availability
• The SCSI Host Adapter Card includes 2 meter cable
• The SCSI channel has to be configured at address 7 (factory standard)
• Configuring without the SCSI extender will not meet most customer’s distance requirements
Fiber-optic SCSI Extender Support
The extender overcomes the SCSI distance limitation. By delivering up to 100 meters, the HP 28643A provides
the flexibility to place the HP 5000 printers in locations more convenient to and efficient for users. The
extender comes in two lengths, 50 meters and 100 meters, and provides industry-standard SCSI compatibility.
HP 28643A includes two extender assemblies, two 19-inch rackmounting brackets, one install/reference
manual, and one loopback test connector. Option AFB provides 50 meters distance, option AFD provides 100
meters. Additional SCSI cabling must be ordered to attach from the remote extender to the printer. The
products are:
• 92222A—.5 meter male-male
• 92222B—1 meter male-male
• 92222C—2 meter male-male
• 92222D—1 meter female-male
For distances greater than 100 meters, the HP Router can be used to extended LAN networking.
