IBM 3713 PRINTER
The IBM 3713 Printer (Figure 50) is available as a feature
attachment on the 3741. It enables the 3741 to prepare
hard copy from disk offline.
The 3713 has these characteristics:
• A maximum print rate of 40 characters per second.
• A maximum print line of 132 characters.
Note: Early shipments of the IBM 3713 Printer have a
line length of 128 characters, not 132. If your 3713 does
not have the 132 character line length, it can be field
upgraded. Contact your IBM representative for more
information.
• Three different pin feed platens, with pin-to-pin widths
of 12-1/2 inches (317.5 mm), 13-1/8 inches (333.375
mm), or 13-7/8 inches (352.425 mm).
• A
carriage return speed of 12 inches (304.8 mm) per
second.
• A paper advance speed of 125 milliseconds per advance.
Advance may be one or two lines, depending on the
setting of the line-feed select lever.
• The carriage return function is overlapped with the
vertical skip function.
• The print head traverses across the print line at 4 inches
(101.6 mm) per second (40 CPS) independent of print
content. (The rate is the same whether printing or not.)
• Forms with a maximum thickness of 0.018 inch (0.46 mm)
(6-part forms) may be used, but for optimum feeding and
stacking, I BM recommends using no more than three
parts.
• Unattended print operations under the control of the
expanded communications feature (Chapter 10.
Communications) .
The following features are available with the 3713 printer:
• Adjustable margins.
• Forms stand.

IBM 3713 Adjustable Margins Feature
An adjustable margins feature permits the use of 11 addi-
tional platen widths ranging from 5-1/4 to 11-1/2 inches
(133.35 to 292.1 mm) pin-to-pin. By manually reposition-
ing margin stops and interchanging platens, a variety of
printer forms can be used as required by your applications.
IBM 3713 Forms Stand Feature
This feature permits stacking of continuous forms on a stand
above floor level.
