Introduction
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Your TermiNet Printer
is a high speed data
communications
printer
used
primarily
for
communicating with computer systems or other
printers. The TermiNet Printer is compact for
operation on a desk top or on its optional Pedestal.
Operation is quiet compared to similar equipment.
The Printer can print and transmit information that is
received from its keyboard or from an external source
(for example, a paper tape reader).
NOTE
For convenience, reference to the TermiNet
Printer, in most cases, will be "Printer".
Your Printer will be one of two basic models; the
TermiNet 300 or TermiNet 1200 Printer (Figures 1-1
and 1-2). The TermiNet 300 and 1200 Printers print
maximum speeds of 30 and 120 characters per second
respectively.
The KSR (Keyboard, Send, and Receive) version of
the Printer has a keyboard similar to a standard office
typewriter. The KSR Printer can print and transmit
information generated locally by the keyboard or a
local device (e.g., paper tape reader}. It can receive
and print information from a remote terminal,
computer, or other communication device.
·
NOTE
When a KSR Printer is combined with a
recording and reading device such as a paper
tape
punch and
reader, the combined
configuration is normally called an ASR.
The SR (Send and Receive) version of the Printer has
no keyboard. The SR Printer operates similar to the
KSR except for the absence of the keyboard.
The RO (Receive Only) version of the Printer has no
keyboard and can print received information only.
Although this manual is written primarily for the
KSR Printer, the SR and RO Printers operate in a
similar manner except for the major differences
previously explained.
The general operating characteristics of the TermiNet
Printer are as follows:
