Bus/Tag Channel Output Connectivity Module
(BUS/TAG no longer available for purchase)
The BUS/TAG Channel Output connectivity module of the Solimar® Print Director™ Enterprise (SPDE) directly drives multiple Xerox LPS and 3211 line printers via online channel. Used in conjunction with other input and emulation modules, network data can be routed to the Solimar print server and converted into Metacode and 3211 for printing onto high-speed production printers.
