We have an old IBM InfoWindow in our computer room as a twinax system console. I am not sure of the model becauseI don't want to move it. It has an Epson DFX-8500 printer attached to it.If I turn off the monitor to eliminate a bit of heat, will the printer still be recognized?
Depends.If you're talking about a 3476 or 3477 InfoWindow, or 3486 or 3487 InfoWindow II terminal with integral display, then there is no "monitor" to turn off; the logic and display units run on a common power supply. If you turn it off, then there is nothing to run the printer.
If you're talking about a 3488 or 3489 InfoWindow II "modular display station," with the logic unit in a physically separate box connected to an actual monitor with a VGA cable, with separate on/off switches and power cords, then yes, you can turn the monitor off without affecting the terminal.
