Phaser 200i and Phaser 200e Color Printers
Phaser 220 printers work with Macintosh computers, IBM Personal
Computers and compatibles, and various workstations. You can print from
several computers at the same time because the Phaser 220 printers support
simultaneous input through serial, parallel, and LocalTalk ports. With the
Phaser 220i, an optional Ethernet interface provides Ethernet connectivity
with EtherTalk and Novell NetWare protocols. The TCP/IP protocol is also
available by purchasing an additional option.
The Phaser 220i also provides a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)
port, which allows you to attach an external hard disk for additional font
storage.
Phaser 220 printers let you make color prints from a variety of software
applications since they incorporate Adobe's PostScript Level 2 software
(based on Adobe PostScript code revision 2013) and accept HP-GL
(Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) files. Also, the printer can accept
monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language) files. The Phaser 220
printer interfaces can automatically switch between all of the three
supported languages: PostScript, HP-GL, and PCL5.
The Phaser 220i has 39 resident PostScript fonts; the Phaser 220e has 17
resident PostScript fonts, upgradable to 39. Both printers have PCL5 fonts
resident. The printers accept the following types of fonts:
Adobe Type 1
Adobe Type 3
TrueType
A variety of user-defined fonts
