Figure 1. IBM SureMark Printers
The IBM SureMark Printers are high-performance, high-function printers. The
SureMark is available in several models:
v Models TI3, TI4, TG3, and TG4 feature a thermal customer receipt station and an
impact document insert station. The dual printheads enable quiet, fast printing at
the customer receipt station while providing the capability to print and frank
checks and to print multipart forms through the document insert station. (Models
TI1 and TI2 are older versions of Models TI3 and TI4, respectively. Production of
the older models has ceased.)
