 Spur Deluxe Primary Unit
A Complete Printer Connectivity Solution!
The Deluxe contains all the hardware and software needed to connect Ethernet or Token Ring hosts to multiple high-speed production printers. Its advanced modular design and Queue Management Facility (QMF) enable you to custom configure the Deluxe and automate as much of the printing process as you wish
To print from an AS/400 via a direct Twin-Ax connection, the optional Twin-ax module is required. To print to the Deluxe via TCP/IP, the optional TCP/IP module is required. Both Twin-ax and TCP/IP modules can be combined for added flexibility!
