such as lines, boxes, circles, bar
charts, pie charts, and run charts.
Create these elements from your
IBM midrange or mainframe host
system and print them on a PCL
laser printer.
Configure the protocol
converter via front-panel DIP
switches. You can also get
support for HP
®
and Lexmark™
color printers.
Other features include:
• Support for duplexing,
page rotation, COR, and
fonts in laser printer mode.
