Statement of Limited Warranty

The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or an IBM authorized re-seller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. Machines are subject to these terms only if purchased in the United States or Puerto Rico, or Canada, and located in the country of purchase. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your re-seller.

Machine: 3130 Warranty Period: 90 days

Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.

Production Status

Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts (which perform like new parts). In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, IBM's warranty terms apply.

The IBM Warranty

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. IBM calculates the expiration of the warranty period from the Machine's Date of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your re-seller informs you otherwise.

During the warranty period, IBM or your re-seller will provide warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine. IBM or your re-seller will specify the type of service.

For a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your re-seller may require that the Machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered Machine and

2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Some of these transactions (called “Net-Priced” transactions) may include additional parts and associated replacement parts that are provided on an exchange basis. All removed parts become the property of IBM and must be returned to IBM.

Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they replace. If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or

your re-seller will repair or replace it without charge. If IBM or your re-seller is unable to do so, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of purchase and this Statement to that user.

 Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 1996 vii

Warranty Service

To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your re-seller or call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-IBM-SERV (426-7378). In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-465-6666. You may be required to present proof of purchase.

Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) a “Repair” service at your location (called “On-site”) or at one of IBM's or a re-seller's service locations (called “Carry-in”) or 2) an “Exchange” service, either On-site or Carry-in.

When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your re-seller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order.

It is your responsibility to:

1. Obtain authorization from the owner (for example, your lessor) to have IBM or your re-seller service a Machine that you do not own;

2. where applicable, before service is provided—

a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request

procedures that IBM or your re-seller provide, b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, c. inform IBM or your re-seller of changes in a Machine's location, and d. for a Machine with exchange service, remove all features, parts, options,

alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. Also, the Machine

must be free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its

exchange; and

3. be responsible for loss of, or damage to, a Machine in transit when you are responsible for the transportation charges.

Extent of Warranty

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine. Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,

improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible may void the warranties.

THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. HOWEVER, SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,

so the above limitation may not apply to you.

viii 3130 User's Guide

Limitation of Warranty

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part (including fundamental breach) or other liability (including negligence and misrepresentation), you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages, IBM is liable only for:

1. bodily injury (including death), and damage to real property and tangible

personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual loss or damage, up to the greater of $100,000

or the charge for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.

Under no circumstances is IBM liable for any of the following:

1. third-party claims against you for losses or damages (other than those under

the first item listed above);

2. loss of, or damage to, your records or data; or

3. economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or incidental

damages, even if IBM is informed of their possibility.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

There are three levels of safety notices: DANGER calls attention to a situation that is potentially or extremely hazardous to

people.

CAUTION calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people. Attention calls attention to the possibility of damage to a program, device, system,

or data. Attention notices are located throughout this publication, but are not listed here.

Safety Precautions

Electrical Safety

This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a national testing laboratory indicates that the product is designed and manufactured in accordance with national requirements intended to minimize safety hazards. IBM equipment meets a very high standard of safety in design and manufacture. Remember, however, that this product operates under conditions of high electrical potentials and heat generation, both of which are functionally necessary.

Laser Safety

Because the paper and toner used in the printer can burn, you should take normal precautions to prevent fire. These precautions include common-sense measures, such as keeping potentially combustible materials (for example, curtains and chemicals) away from the printer, providing adequate ventilation and cooling, limiting unattended operation, and having trained personnel available and assigned to the printer.

This printer complies with the performance standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that the printer belongs to a class of laser products that does not product hazardous laser radiation. This classification was accomplished by providing the necessary protective housing and scanning safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1 limits.

There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved, removed, or replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser.

No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a Class 1 Laser Product. No adjustments that affect laser operation or power are accessible to the operator.

This printer is a Class 1 Laser Product that contains an enclosed Class 3B laser.

Relocating the Printer

Whenever the printer is to be moved to another location, a relocation kit is required. The customer engineer will disconnect and reconnect the printer, but the customer is responsible for ordering the relocation kit.

The relocation kit part number is 45G1611.

Safety Precautions

Always follow these safety precautions:

 Always keep the area around the printer clean. Use the printer under the

proper lighting (500-1 000 lux). Keep sufficient space around the printer so the paper trays can be pulled forward and the printer can be serviced. Space required in the vicinity of the printer is as follows:

– Front: 129.5 cm (51 inches) – Left and right sides: 76 cm (30 inches) – Rear: 15 cm (6 inches)

 Do not place anything on the printer. Keep this guide on a shelf nearby instead

of on top of the printer.

 Do not open any covers (except the toner cover and paper trays) during

printing operation. Personal injury might result if moving elements or electrical parts are accidentally touched.

 After opening the front cover, touch only blue parts. Other parts may be hot.  Be particularly careful when working in the fuser unit area. Do not touch the

inside of the fuser unit. The fuser unit becomes very hot, and it may cause personal injury if accidentally touched.

 Toner and developer mix are composed of powdery particles. Avoid inhaling

toner or developer. If the toner or developer mix spill on the floor, immediately clean with a water-dampened cloth. Do not leave toner or developer mix on the floor. Developer mix may cause accidents if stepped on as it contains slippery beads of metal.

 Limit your operations to those described in this publication. Contact the

customer engineer or service technician for operations that are not explained in this publication.

 Provide proper ventilation for the printer to prevent high ozone concentration.

Long-term exposure should be limited to 0.1 ppm calculated as an 8-hour time weighted average concentration. Avoid installing the printer in a room smaller than or equal to 81 cubic m (1 000 cubic ft), which approximately equals a 3 x 3 m (10 x 10 ft) room. If installing in a space smaller than 81 cubic m (1 000 cubic ft), air exchange ventilation is necessary.

 Take care not to allow ties, sleeves, shirts, jewelry, and long hair to be caught

in the printer.

 Be careful not to touch the hazardous parts near the caution labels.  Never touch the high voltage portions of the printer (where caution labels are

attached) when the printer is on. Touching these areas may cause personal injuries.

1-8 3130 User's Guide

Operating Precautions

 Follow the procedures and instructions described in this publication to optimize

printer performance and to ensure safe operation.

 Properly load the paper into the trays to prevent paper skew and paper jams.

See “Loading Paper and Envelopes” on page 2-5 for more information.

 Use only paper that complies with the supply specifications, as detailed in

“Choosing Forms.”

Choosing Forms

Envelope Parameters

For optimal printing results, use new 90 g/mò (24-lb) 100% chemically pulped wood, or 25% cotton bond envelopes. You should try samples of any envelopes you are considering using in your printer. This includes envelopes with rough or highly textured surfaces, such as laid finishes.

The laser printing process heats envelopes to a temperature of 175°C (350°F). Only use envelopes that are able to withstand these temperatures without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor of the envelopes you plan to use to determine if they are usable with laser printers, which heat them to 175°C.

For optimal performance and to prevent paper jams, do not use envelopes that:

 Have excessive curl or twist  Are stuck together  Are damaged in any way  Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing  Have exposed flap adhesive when the flap is placed in the sealed or closed

position

 Have an interlocking design  Have postage stamps attached

Table 1-5 summarizes recommendations that can help you and your paper supplier choose envelopes that are most suitable for your 3130.

If the host or network does not tell the printer which tray to use, the printer uses the following order of priority. All trays may not be present on your printer model.

Priority Model 01S

Simplex

1 Side Tray Main Tray Main Tray 2 Top Front Tray Side Tray Side Tray 3 Lower Sub Tray Lower Sub Tray 4 Upper Sub Tray Upper Sub Tray

Model 02S High-Capacity Simplex

Model 02D Duplex and Model 03S Simplex

Note: Default input trays can be configured by data streams.

If the selected tray is not available because the tray is out of paper, has the wrong paper size, or is removed, the printer stops printing, and a message appears on the operator panel display. See Appendix A, “Display Messages and Codes” for a list of messages and their meanings.

Changing the Form Name and Paper Size Assigned to a Tray

If you have changed the form loaded in a tray, you need to change (or verify) the form name assigned to that tray.

Printing media (paper, forms, and envelopes) used in the printer are called forms. If there are user-defined forms (defined for specific customer needs, such as preprinted paper), the paper size may be the same for several user-defined forms. Each defined form has a unique form name.

You can assign only one form name to a tray at any one time. The side tray handles only letter and A4 size paper. All other trays handle the following paper sizes: letter, legal, ledger, A3, A4, B4, and B5. The envelope feeder handles only #10 or DL envelopes.

Note: Always adjust the input tray itself before configuring that tray. Only those

form names that match the paper size of the current adjusted tray are available for configuration.

To change the form name assigned to a tray:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

2. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

3. Scroll to the input tray for which you have changed the loaded form and press Enter to make the selection.

4. Scroll to FORM NAME and press Enter.

5. Scroll to the desired form name and press Enter.

4-4 3130 User's Guide

Notes:

1. When loading a new form into a tray, if there is only one form name defined

with the form size you have loaded in the tray, the printer will automatically choose that form name. If several defined form names have the same size as the one you have loaded, the message CHECK FORM NAME IN MENU appears. You must then verify or change the form name assigned to the tray.

2. If you change the form name loaded in a tray that has another tray designated

as the autoswitch tray or has been previously designated as the autoswitch tray for another tray, then the informational message FORM MISMATCH FOR AUTOSWITCH appears. Press Enter, if necessary, to clear this message.

Selecting an Autoswitch Tray

You can select an input tray that will automatically start feeding paper when the originally selected tray becomes empty. When an autoswitch tray has been assigned to the original input tray, you can reload that original tray after it is empty and not interrupt printing. An autoswitch tray is used only when the original tray becomes empty; it is an alternate tray.

Notes:

1. The original factory setting for autoswitch tray is NONE.

2. Before designating an autoswitch tray, you must first select the original tray.

3. You can return the autoswitch tray designation to NONE at any time a job is

not printing.

Do the following to designate an autoswitch tray:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

2. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

3. Scroll to the original input tray for which you wish to assign another tray as the

autoswitch tray and press Enter to make the selection. See the example below.

4. Scroll to AUTOSWITCH and press Enter.

5. Scroll to the autoswitch tray name and press Enter. It becomes the autoswitch

tray for the tray selected in Step 3.

Example:

The following example selects the side tray as the autoswitch

(alternate) tray for the main tray (original). The procedure is as follows:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

2. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

3. Scroll to MAIN TRAY and press Enter.

4. Scroll to AUTOSWITCH and press Enter.

5. Scroll to SIDE TRAY and press Enter.

Chapter 4. Customizing the Printer 4-5

Notes:

1. The autoswitch tray must be loaded with the same form name as the original tray. If you choose an autoswitch tray that has a different form name loaded in it, the message WRONG FORM IN AUTOSWITCH TRAY is displayed. You must then choose a different autoswitch tray.

2. If you choose an autoswitch tray that is disabled, the message AUTOSWITCH TRAY NOT ENABLED is displayed. You must then choose a different autoswitch tray. (If you do not choose another one, there will be no autoswitch tray.)

3. If someone changes the form name loaded in an autoswitch tray, that tray will no longer act as an autoswitch tray.

4. If no autoswitch tray is selected, the job will stop printing when the original tray is empty.

5. Before designating an autoswitch tray, you must first select the original tray.

Tray Name Correspondence

The tray names used by the printer are descriptive to make it easier to identify the trays. However, when users send print jobs to the printer from their workstations, they may be selecting input and output trays labeled with numbers.

Table 4-1 shows the correspondence between input bin numbers and printer tray names and between output bin numbers and printer stacker names. Remember that not all models have all trays and stackers installed.

Note: Select the base stacker or upper stacker for all label printing.

Configuring Output Stackers

Only key operators can configure the output stackers. Three tasks compose stacker configuration:

 Enable and disable stackers.  Turn the offset stacking function on or off.  Autolink the stackers.

Stacker Names

Each model of the 3130 printer has standard and optional trays and stackers. The following figure shows each model with all possible stackers. Your printer may not have all these stackers installed.

Possible output stackers are:  Upper stacker  Base stacker  Side stacker Note: Paper input (feeding) receptacles are called trays. Paper output receptacles

are called stackers. If the printer has only a single top stacker, it is called the base stacker.

Chapter 4. Customizing the Printer 4-7

Enabling and Disabling Stackers

The key operator can enable or disable any of the stackers. If a stacker is enabled, it can be used by the printer. If a stacker is disabled, it cannot be used.

To enable or disable a stacker, do the following:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

2. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

3. Scroll to the stacker you want to enable or disable and press Enter.

4. Press Enter on ENABLE STATUS. You may be prompted to enter the key-operator password.

5. Scroll to ENABLE, and press Enter to enable the stacker. Scroll to DISABLE, and press Enter to disable the stacker.

Stacker Selection Defaults

If the data stream is not configured for a specific stacker and the print job does not instruct the printer which stacker to use, the following order of priority is followed:

 Base stacker  Upper stacker  Side stacker Note: Not all stackers are installed on all printers.

If the selected stacker is not available because it is full, the job stops printing and a message is displayed.

Setting Offset Stacking

When a stacker has the offset stacking function turned on, print job separation is indicated by the jogging of forms at the beginning of each print job. This is known as offset stacking.

4-8 3130 User's Guide

You can configure each stacker so that the offset stacking function is enabled or disabled.

Selecting Offset Stacking

To enable or disable the offset stacking function, do the following:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

2. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

3. Scroll to the name of the stacker for which you want to enable or disable offset

stacking and press Enter. You may be prompted to enter the key-operator password.

4. Scroll to OFFSET STACKING and press Enter.

5. Scroll to YES, and press Enter to set offset stacking. Scroll to NO and press

Enter to turn off offset stacking.

Autolinking the Output Stackers

The key operator can autolink the output stackers. When the stackers are autolinked, the printer automatically switches to another stacker when the first stacker becomes full. The printer continues doing this until all stackers are full. You can set autolinking to YES or NO.

The printer selects the order in which the stackers are filled, starting with the side stacker (if installed and enabled). Any stacker that is installed and enabled is used in autolinking. If a stacker is disabled or is not installed, it is not used.

The following table shows the order in which the printer fills the enabled and installed stackers. Your printer may not have all stackers installed.

Autolink Order Stacker

Selecting Autolinking

To select autolinking, do the following:

1. Press the Stop key (if the printer is Ready) to make the printer Not Ready.

2. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

3. Scroll to the TRAYS/STACKERS menu and press Enter.

4. Scroll to AUTOLINK OUTPUT STACKERS and press Enter. You may be

prompted to enter the key-operator password.

5. Scroll to YES and press Enter to select autolinking. Scroll to NO and press

Enter to deselect autolinking.

6. Press the Menu/Exit key to exit menu mode (if desired).

7. Empty all the stackers before pressing Start to continue printing.

Chapter 4. Customizing the Printer 4-9

Note: When using autolinked stackers, be sure to completely empty all the

stackers before starting or continuing a print job. If a print job is being continued, the pages that are printed after autolinking has been selected will be sent to the first stacker in the autolink order.

Clearing Autolinked Stackers

When the stackers are autolinked, stacker-specific STACKER FULL messages are displayed as each stacker becomes full. However, the printer stops printing only after all enabled stackers become full. When all stackers are full and the printer stops printing, the autolinked stackers can be cleared.

To clear the autolinked stackers, do the following:

1. Completely empty all stackers. The STACKER FULL messages no longer appear.

2. Press Start to continue printing. Printing does not continue if any of the stackers are full.

Note: To ensure job integrity, do not press Start until all stackers are

completely empty. Although the printer does not stack forms in full stackers, it does stack forms in partially full stackers.

Note: If you want to reset the autolink stacker function and start sending pages to

the first stacker in the autolinking order, do the following:

1. Press and hold the Enter key.

2. Press the Page Eject key.

3. Release both keys.

Configuring the Printer

Sleep time is the number of minutes of printer inactivity (no print jobs) before the fuser turns off. Values 1 through 999 indicate that the printer goes into a “sleep” state after the selected number of minutes. A value of 0 indicates that the printer never goes into the “sleep” state; the fuser remains on.

The beeper may be set to sound when the 3130 detects an error or when keys are pressed.

You can set the ERROR beeper to sound until any operator panel key is pressed (CONTINUOUS), to sound for three minutes, or until a key is pressed and then stop (TIMED BEEP) or to never sound at all (OFF). The original factory setting is TIMED BEEP.

You can set the KEYS beeper to ON or OFF. The original factory setting is ON.

Language specifies the language used to display operator panel text for general users and key operators. The original factory setting is ENGLISH. (Text for customer engineer-only items is in English only.)

Adjusting the Print (IPDS Only)

Do this task when you load preprinted forms, adhesive labels, or other forms that require a precise registration that is not satisfied by the factory-set default registration.

All controls required for this task are available under the ADJUST PRINT (IPDS) submenu. Print adjustment can be done for IPDS jobs only.

4-14 3130 User's Guide

In printing, the term

registration

refers to the relative print positions of images. For example, when you process preprinted forms, the registration is good if the new image printed by the printer aligns correctly with the preprinted image. Print that extends beyond box edges and text that overlaps other text are examples of poor registration.

The figure above illustrates the original factory setting point of origin (vertical=0, horizontal=0) and the range of possible adjustments (shown much larger than actual size). The maximum adjustment in any direction from this position is 999 pels (approximately 3 1/2 inches or 90 millimeters). Imagine that your sample page shows that the text is printing too high and too far to the left in relation to the preprinted form. To correct this situation, increase the vertical and horizontal positions (to move the point of origin down and to the right). The next figure shows the result of changing the vertical position to +7 and the horizontal position to +6.

Determining if You Need to Adjust the Print

Before making any adjustments, determine whether you need to adjust the print. That is, run a print test to see if you need to change the point of origin on a page by adding to, or subtracting from, the vertical and horizontal starting positions.

Note: This procedure assumes the following:

Chapter 4. Customizing the Printer 4-15

 A defined form is loaded in the printer and that form is assigned to the

7. Press Enter to access the keyboard.

8. Enter the new password again to verify it. After you select <OK>, the password is changed.

Every type of printing media (paper, forms, or envelopes) that you plan to use must be defined to the printer in the DEFINE FORMS menu. Printing media are called

forms

. Each defined form has a unique form name. Some form names were included at the time of manufacture. Key operators can define new forms to meet specific user needs. For example, users might have several preprinted forms, each with a unique form name. The paper size may be the same on each form, but the preprinted text and graphics may be different.

Before you can load a form in the printer, that form must first be defined. The definition of the form consists of:

 Form name  Form size  Duplex (two-sided)

 Paper orientation: edge sensitivity, side sensitivity (duplex model only with

duplex set to YES), for preprinted or prepunched forms

 Definitions of the type of paper, color of paper, weight of paper, and matchall

parameters for the paper (PostScript emulation only). These values are available for use in custom PostScript applications.

When you access DEFINE FORMS in the SETUP menu, you can add, view, modify, or delete forms.

Note: Only the forms that are defined in DEFINE FORMS appear in the lists of

available forms to be loaded into each tray (in the TRAYS/STACKERS menu). You must define a form before that form will appear in the list of forms that can be loaded for that tray.

Example:

11 IN (LETTER). INVOICE appears in the lists of forms that can be loaded for any tray adjusted for letter-size paper. If you delete the form INVOICE, it will not appear in the lists of forms to be loaded for any tray.

You define a form with the form name INVOICE and the form size 8.5 x

Defining a New Form

Add a form any time you load (or plan to load) a form that has not yet been defined for the printer. Certain standard forms are already defined when the printer comes from the factory.

To add a new form, do the following:

1. Press the Menu/Exit key to enter menu mode.

Configuring Attachments

The communications and cable attachments are configured at the time of printer installation by the customer engineer. However, you may wish to change the attachment being used or the current attachment configuration. Change this configuration only when asked to do so by your system administrator or network administrator. Only key operators or system administrators can change the attachment configuration.

Attention:

Changing the attachment configuration may make your printer inoperable.

For information on how to set up your system and configure the attachments, see

IBM 3130 Advanced Function Printer: System Administration Guide

For information on configuration, see

The 3130 printer supports the following attachments:  Twinaxial  SDLC (SNA)

 Token Ring (TCP/IP, NetWare, and SNA)  Ethernet (TCP/IP and NetWare)

 PC Parallel Each attachment has configuration items that are specific to that attachment. Twinaxial, SDLC (SNA), token ring (TCP/IP and SNA), and Ethernet (TCP/IP)

support an IPDS data stream, but IPDS can be connected to only a single attachment at a time. Token ring (TCP/IP), Ethernet (TCP/IP), and PC Parallel support both PCL and PostScript data streams.

Enabling and Disabling Attachments

An enabled attachment attempts to establish communication with the host or network. When the current attachment is enabled and the application that will receive the data to be printed is enabled, the printer is online. When the current attachment is disabled, the printer is offline and cannot receive data from the host or network.

Attention:
