Canon Units Enhance Functionality of Electronic-Typewriter- Printers

Article Abstract:

The AP 400-500, developed by Canon, are electronic typewriter- printers. RSX232-C is a serial interface that enables the AP 400-500 to function as a conventional typewriter or computer output printer in word processing functions for personal computers. This interface feature is provided as an option. When the interface is employed, the local (off-line) mode function enables the AP 400- 500 to operate as an electronic typewriter; the remote (on-line) mode provides compatibility with Qume and Diablo typewriter printers. The AP 500 can also operate as an intelligent terminal while the AP 400 functions as an I-O typewriter-printer.
