Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 and 4100-PD1/PD2 Printers (4100-HD1/HD2 and
4100-PD1/PD2)

This chapter describes Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 and Infoprint 4100-PD1/PD2 printer characteristics. The Infoprint 4100­HD1/HD2 and 4100-PD1/PD2 printers are channel-attached or LAN-attached, continuous-forms printers that use laser
and electrophotographic technology to print text, images, graphics, and bar codes at up to 762 ipm (impressions per
minute). The Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 and 4100-PD1/PD2 printers use the Advanced Function Common Control Unit
(AFCCU) based on RISC technology, which provides as standard the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG)
feature and the Decompression Performance Enhancement (DPE) feature. The Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 has a hard
hot roll which provides high print quality. The Infoprint 4100-PD1/PD2 has a soft hot roll which provides premium print
quality.

The Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 and 4100-PD1/PD2 printers also have switchable 480/600 pels-per-inch resolution and
the Print Quality Enhancement (PQE) function, which smooths edges on diagonal lines, protects fine details, improves
the fidelity of images, and allows for adjustment of the boldness of text and the darkness of images.

. 1 Customer Changeable Developer is available allowing the operator to change the developer, helping to increase

system availability for MICR or highlight color printing. Please contact your IBM sales representative for availability
status.

. 2 Maximum printing rate is the maximum number of pages of the indicated size and configuration that can be printed

at the constant speed of paper movement shown for each printer. Rates for pages of different sizes and
configuration can be calculated by dividing the form length into the printer speed. Actual printing rate will be less if
the printer cannot reach this rate due to complexity or density of the data or the ability of the system to deliver
data at this rate.

. 3 Maximum usage is based on operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, at maximum printing rate with normal

maintenance and operations activity. IBM does not recommend reaching this monthly maximum on consistent
basis.
