PARALLEL PRINTER: The parallel printer port supports a local printer off the terminal. The buffer allows for the rapid transmission of data from the host computer. Printers may then be used as local or system wide devices. SERIAL PRINTER: A serial printer may be connected to the Serial 1 or Serial 2 ports, or both, on the SpotLine M110. The buffer for print functions allows for efficient use of the chosen port, and printers may then be local or system wide resources. 9
