Introduction

The 2900 Impact Printers are designed to handle heavy duty, high volume

workloads, with a straight paper path that provides unattended, jam-free print-

ing of continuous forms, at high speeds. They have a wide range of printer

emulations, network printer management ability, popular graphics languages

and web administration utilities.

The 2900 Series offers the following I/O configurations (Modules):

• Standard Serial/Parallel

• LANPlex (Standard plus Ethernet 10/100 BASE-T)

In less than five minutes you can add other configurations by inserting a new

module. Installation instructions come with the module.

Preface

All interface configurations and printer

setups are performed through the control

panel on the top right of the unit. And

since the printer’s operational configura-

tion is stored in nonvolatile memory;

you’ll never have to reconfigure your

printer because of a power loss.
