Peripherals406 iSeries HandbookIBM iSeries PrintersIBM iSeries printers are designed, built, tested, and supported as an integrated component ofthe system. Printer options are scalable from desktop to production, impact to laser, with 375characters per second up to 1002 impressions per minute.This printer section is divided into three sections depending on typical usage:• Workgroup printers• Departmental and production printers• Industrial printersiSeries print application information is found on the iSeries printing Web site at:http://www.ibm.com/printers/iSeriesIBM iSeries Workgroup PrintersIBM Infoprint and IBM Network Printers form a family of high-performance laser printersdesigned for iSeries, AS/400e, and network printing environments. As a group, these IBMiSeries workgroup printers provide high fidelity (600 dots-per-inch (dpi) or 1200 dpi), multipleconcurrent connections, support for multiple print datastreams (AFP/IPDS, PostScript, PCL),and a wide range of paper handling options. Five new Infoprint 1000 workgroup printerscomplete the family of cost-effective business printers. In addition, the Infoprint Color 8provides high-fidelity, full-color printing for iSeries and workgroup applications.Key features shared by these IBM Infoprint and Network Printers (except the Infoprint 12 andInfoprint Color 8) include:• Connections to multiple client and server systems– iSeries and LAN connectivity, including token-ring, Ethernet, twinax, and parallel– Concurrent handling of iSeries, network, and client print applications• Automatic switching and automatic print data stream sensing to enable maximumproductivity.– Integrated Network Interface Card (NIC) eliminates the need for a separate networkattachment box• Complete integrated IPDS printer featuring:– Native, system-managed printing with page-level error recovery– Edge-to-edge printing– Full range of AFP fonts: iSeries and AS/400e-resident and printer-resident, raster,and outline formats
