Honeywell
SERIES 60 (LEVEL 6)
PRU9101/9102
Serial Printers
The Types PRU9101 and 9102 Serial Printers are
self-contained, tabletop printers designed for
low-cost printing requirements. The printers have
64- and 96-character ASCII code sets, respectively.
Both operate at 165 characters per second and
print at line speeds of 60 lines per minute (1pm)
for 132 characters/line and 200 1pm for
20-30 characters/line.
The printers interface with the Level 6 processor
by means of a single-board Multiple Device Con¬
troller (MDC9101), a Printer Device-Pac
(PRM9101),and a 50-foot cable. The printers can
be made self-standing via Option PRF9101, the
serial printer pedestal.
FEATURES
• Upper-/lowercase print capability with PRU9102
• Separate offline test mode for easy maintenance
• Line speeds of 60 1pm at 132 characters per line;
200 1pm at 20-30 characters/line
• Original and up to four carbon copies
• Vertical forms tape permits various form sizes
OPERATION
Data to the serial printer must be in standard
ASCII 7-bit format. A maximum of 132 characters
per line and only one line at a time can be printed
per operation. All data transfers are under DMA
(Direct Memory Access) control.
Spacing to top-of-form and testing for end-of-form
is controlled via holes punched into a paper tape.
The operator may, therefore, change the spacing
by simply punching a new paper tape.
SOFTWARE
The printers are software supported by Level 6
GCOS/BES I/O drivers and executive routines. A
test and maintenance program assists in fault isola¬
tion and maintenance of the equipment.
