Appendix D
LN03 Compatibility
This appendix contains information highlighting the differences between
the DEClaser 2100 plus printer and the LN03 printer. This information is
directed at the differences affecting compatibility between the printers.
D.1 General Differences
The following list identifies the general differences between the LN03
printer and the DEClaser 2100 plus printer.
•
A 25-pin serial cable (female) and an MMJ-to-25 pin male adapter are
provided with the DEClaser 2100 plus printer. The LN03 does not come
with an interface cable.
•
Font cartridges for the DEClaser 2100 plus printer do not have the
same physical format, or the same internal data format, as the font
cartridges for the LN03. If your application requires special cartridges
(logos, signatures, private character sets), you need to use a soft copy
or have a new cartridge made.
•
The DEClaser 2100 plus printer comes with 512 KB of RAM, and
can be upgraded to 3.5 MB. The available memory is 284 KB up to
3.284 MB. The LN03 PLUS option is dedicated to bitmap processing
while the LN03 RAM cartridges are dedicated to font storage. On the
DEClaser 2100 plus printer, you can use the available memory for font
storage, bitmap storage, or a display list. To ensure the availability of
bitmap memory, use the Memory Management (DECMM) command or
the paint feature in the INITIAL menu to allocate sufficient memory.
•
The DEClaser 2100 plus printer does not use DIP switches to select
features. Instead it uses setup menus and a nonvolatile memory to
select and save features.
•
The DEClaser 2100 plus printer uses coded keys on the paper cassettes
to indicate paper size.
•
When the DEClaser 2100 plus printer encounters a ‘‘page too complex’’
error, it stops until the error is cleared using the
Error Skip
key (see
Section 6.1).
