ND2000 & ND3000 Series Personality Modules

A PM establishes the intelligent connection between printer and system environment. It offers maximum flexibility and grants access to all printer features and functions. Specific variants of hardware interfaces, printer emulation’s and protocol converters provide direct connection to IBM, HP and Digital systems as well as PCs and Local Area Networks (LANs). All PM contain a basic module with different printer emulation’s and associated character tables with a selection of fonts and bar codes.

Additionally, the system specific PMs contain a protocol converter with system specific printer emulations, character tables, fonts, and conversion routines for system or network protocols in ASCII control sequences. The unique functions of the printer as e.g. paper management capabilities, can be mapped to system specific control sequences by appropriate set ups of the internal configuration tables. The PM concept is highly beneficial: The user receives an integrated solution, which can be exchanged at any time to adapt to new system requirement. For instance, the printer could migrate from a traditional serial/parallel connection to local network integration, such as Ethernet, simply by exchanging the PM Serial/Parallel with PM Ethernet. Listed below is the table identifying which PM is available for the ND2000 & ND3000 Series printers.
