Overview

The I-O 4020 Printer Interface models easily attach Lexmark 23XX Plus dot-matrix printers to IBM host systems and are quickly configured through on-board DIP switches and Host/PC download commands. The printer interfaces offer the following features:

The I-O 4020TX model provides direct
Twinax attachment to IBM AS/400, S/3X
hosts or 5x94 remote controllers.
The I-O 4020CX model provides coax connectivity
to IBM 3270-type mainframe 3174, 3274, or 3276 control units.
These direct-attach Twinax and coax interfaces include the industry’s best IBM 4214, 5224/25/56, and 3287/68/62 printer emulations.
The additional full-sized Centronics parallel port allows for economical and intelligent printer sharing between the IBM host and a PC or even LAN.
The I-O Command Pass-Thru™ feature allows complete access to
all user programmable printer options, such as printer resident bar code capabilities.
The interface’s seamless integration allows for complete access to all additional paper handling options, like the Tractor 2 feeder.
APF/BGU printing is supported across all IBM printer emulations.
