Ibm 4247 Multiform Matrix Printer; Ibm 4400 Thermal Label Printers - IBM i series Handbook

IBM 4247 MultiForm Matrix Printer

The 4247 range of printers are desktop model
impact printers. They are capable of printing up to
700 cps in its fastest data processing (DP) mode.
They include two continuous paper paths and a
standard manual cut-sheet input.
The 4727 can be used as a directly attached
workstation printer, as a system printer, remote or
distributed, or for departmental printing.
Supported applications include word processing
and spreadsheets, business graphics such as pie charts, barcode printing, line drawings from
CAD/CAM applications, and special forms for checks, labels, and mailers.
The 4247 models have a duty cycle of up to 20 million characters-per-month and print
qualities include DP, DP Text, and Near Letter Quality (NLQ).
• Attachment to the system can be Twinax, Serial/Parallel, Ethernet, and token-ring.
Coax and attachment to LAN using ASCII interface are also available.
• IPDS support for the full range of electronic printing capabilities (barcode, electronic
forms, image, graphics, and variable fonts), as well as full printing error recovery

IBM 4400 Thermal Label Printers

e-business – are reflected in the IBM 4400 Thermal Laser printers. Support for Intelligent
Printer Data Stream (IPDS) means that any Advanced Function Presentation (AFP)
application interface can be used. IPDS also means industrial-strength printing management,
even when the printer is deployed in a TCP/IP network. Support for additional thermal data
streams ensures compatibility with existing applications.
Features of the IBM 4400 series include:
• Print resolution up to 300 dots per inch, print speeds up to 10 inches per second, and
media widths of 6.8 inches or 8.75 inches
The IBM 4400 Thermal Label printers provide
high-performance, high-quality thermal printing geared to
the iSeries, network, and Supply Chain industrial
environments in which they must operate. This is an
environment where iSeries application integration, reliable
output management, and network deployment and
administration are essential.
The key design elements of the system – integration,
reliability, scalability, ease of use, and designed for
