Supply chain success hinges on

achieving high productivity and

streamlined costs. Printers help keep

your supply chain moving. And a

breakdown could mean lost profits

and even lost customers. Designed

for high output performance in

demanding print environments, the

IBM 4247 industrial strength printers

provide professional reliability at

attractive prices. With support for both

cutsheet and continu ous form paper,

the 4247-V03 a nd 4247- 00 3 are fas t

and flexible, and can positively

con tr ibut e to y ou r b ot tom l in e.

4247-V03

Fast speed, high functionality

With print speeds up to 1,100 cps,and

durable metal covers, the IBM 4247-V03

is built to handle rigorous industrial

applications. Dual front tractors help

ensure paper feeding reliability and

enable acceptance of a wide range of

paper thicknesses. And the attention

light is visible from a distance, so

operators are quickly alerted to

any problems. The 4247-V03 offers

high functionality and performance,

so you can consolidate your print

applications for lower maintenance

and supply costs.

Adaptable to your business needs

A powerful dot matrix printing design

enables the 4247 printers to print up to

eight- part forms. The combination of

paper parking, switching and linking can

help you maximize your printing options

and increase productivity. The all-points -

addressable graphics capability enables

applications to print bar codes, scanned

logos and more. And users can install

and switch serial, parallel, twinaxial and

Ethernet 10/100 BaseT interface cards

to meet network needs now and in

the future.

Easy t o use and eff icient

Automatic forms loading, thickness

adjustment and selection features make

for simple operation of the IBM 4247

printers. The user-friendly operator panel

features a 2x40 LCD display for easy-to-

read menus and messages. And with the

document- on- demand feature, you can

eject and then print on the very next form,

helping to reduce paper waste.
