RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own
expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the
interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

2. Introduction
2.1 General
The Laser Card is an interface for internal installation in Hewlett-Packard printers
with the new PCI-based EIO slot. Two models are available:
• Laser Card for HP 4000 Twinax (part number PC124C)
• Laser Card for HP 4000 Coax (part number PC125C)
With the Laser Card for HP 4000 Twinax installed, your printer will emulate an
IBM 3812-1 (non-IPDS) printer when attached to an IBM AS/400, System/34,
System/36, or System/38 host processor, or a 3287/3812-1 (non-IPDS) printer
when attached to a 5X94 controller. With the Laser Card for HP Coax installed,
your printer will emulate an IBM 3287, 3262, 3268, 3812-1, 4212, or 4224 (non-
IPDS) printer when attached to an IBM 30XX, 43XX, or 937X host or 3174, 3274,
or 3276 controller.
Printer auto-sharing in the HP LaserJet printer is accomplished using the
printer’s additional option slots or integrated parallel or serial ports. The HP
printer will handle data from the parallel/serial ports as well as the internal option
ports. This allows you to attach your printer to a personal computer (PC) or LAN,
as well as the IBM host and automatically change between host and PC/LAN
printing without changing cables or switches.
You can choose setup options to control the printer’s output by using the
printer’s LCD display or making selections using host-download commands.
2.2 What the Package Includes
The following items are included in the package:
• Laser Card for HP 4000 Twinax (PC124C) or Laser Card for HP 4000 Coax
(PC125C)
• Auto-terminating twinax V-cable (included with the PC124C) or 9-pin to coax
adapter cable (included with the PC125C)
• Screwdriver
• This user manual
Inspect each item for shipping damage. If anything is missing or damaged,
please contact Black Box immediately at 724-746-5500.

2.3 About This Manual
The following five sections contained in this user’s guide will give you the
information you need to get the most from your Laser Card.
• Chapter 1, Specifications.
• Chapter 2, Introduction, provides an overview of the Laser Card, including
printer emulations, supported Hewlett-Packard printers, and the adapter
cables required for either twinax or coax connectivity
• Chapter 3, Quick-Start Guide, gets your Laser Card up and running fast.
• Chapter 4, Installation, explains how to install the Laser Card in the HP 4000
LaserJet printer, perform a self-test, and how to connect to the twinax or coax
host.
• Chapters 5 and 9, Configuration, explain the use of the printer’s front-panel
setup and twinax and coax configuration. Twinax configuration instructions

host printing, emulations, font change commands, user-defined command
strings, and Command Pass-Thru™. Twinax operation instructions begin on
page 47; coax operation instructions begin on page 107 of this manual.
• Chapters 7 and 11, Advanced Features, detail the advanced features of the
Twinax and Coax models. Twinax instructions begin on page 65, while coax
information starts on page 112.
• Chapters 8 and 12, Troubleshooting, provide a detailed troubleshooting
guide. Twinax problem resolution instructions begin on page 69; coax
problem resolution instructions begin on page 115 of this manual.
• Appendix A is a font reference.
• Appendix B lists twinax and coax character sets.
• Appendix C describes color printing for twinax and coax.
• Appendix D lists resident scalable font numbers for twinax.
• Appendix E describes printing bar codes for twinax and coax.

2.4 Static Caution
CAUTION
The Laser Card is static-sensitive, and can be damaged with static
electricity. Take ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions as you would
with any static-sensitive device. These precautions include:
1. Be aware that some work surroundings, such as carpet, floor mats,
dry air from winter heating, etc., can cause static buildup.
2. If available, wear a wrist strap or similar static-discharge device
during installation. If not wearing a wrist strap, touch a grounded
surface (such as an exposed twinax connector on a cable attached to
the host) before handling the card.
3. Where available, stand on an anti-static mat or use an anti-static
work surface when installing the card.
4. Do not touch components on the card. Handle the card by the edges
only.

3. Quick-Start Guide
3.1 General
Follow these simple steps to have your Laser Card up and running in minutes.
Before you begin, locate these parts:
• Laser Card
• Twinax or Coax Adapter Cable
• Reversible-Blade Screwdriver
CAUTION
The Laser Card is static-sensitive. Make sure you do not damage the
interface with static electricity. Where available, touch something metal
first and stand on an anti-static work surface when installing the Card.
After you have successfully completed a printer self-test (check your printer’s
User’s Guide), power OFF the printer, remove all cables, and then proceed with
the following installation instructions.
3.2 Installation
1. To install the Laser Card:
a. Locate an available EIO slot. Using the screwdriver, remove the bracket
covering it.
b. Insert the Laser Card and tighten the thumb screws.
c. Attach the twinax or coax adapter cable. Do NOT attach the host cable(s) to
the adapter yet.
d. Re-attach the power cord and other printer cables.
e. Power ON the printer.
f. For coax configuration, go to Section 3.2.1. For twinax configuration, go to
Section 3.2.2.
