I-O Print Box 4430TX / 4430CX and 4431TX / 4431CX

The I-O Print Box 4430TX / 4430CX and 4431TX / 4431CX turn almost any parallel or serial printer (laser, matrix, thermal, inkjet, card printer) into a full function powerful Twinax or Coax printer. It can easily be configured to meet the most demanding printing requirements.

Click on images at right and below for larger images showing the Twinax and Coax interface connections.

The 4430TX and 4430CX are the direct replacements for the PrintBox TXP Plus, CXP Plus, TXP Lite, and CXP Lite parallel printer interfaces.

The 4431TX and 4431CX are the direct replacements for the PrintBox TXS Plus and CXS Plus serial printer interfaces.
