With a small footprint and a low
acquisition price, the IBM Infoprint
1512 delivers the functions needed
to support small businesses and
small workgroups. With a fast print
speed of up to 30 pages per minute
letter size and 28 pages per minute
A41 , 32 megabytes of memory, a
rst- page- out time as fast as eight
seconds1, and a 366 MHz processor,
the Infoprint 1512 helps you work
harder and faster on demand.
Change most printer settings from
your software application, printer
driver or the printer’s operator inter-
face. From the easy-to-use operator
interface, select menu items and
associated values to help print your
jobs successfully. Select the print
media using the Paper Menu. Use
the Finishing Menu to dene how the
printer delivers output — collated,
with borders, with separator sheets,
or multi- page images on one page —
just to name a few nishing choices.
Obtain networking exibility
The Infoprint 1512 offers exible
networking options — including wire-
less. With wireless capability, you can
relocate printers quickly and easily
without the cost and delay associated
with physical cabling. Boost the
productivity of mobile workers by
allowing them convenient access to
a highly secure wireless LAN.
Expand the range of paper sizes
and types
The most commonly used media can
be loaded in the standard automatic
250 -sheet paper feeder. The second
paper source, the single- sheet
manual feeder that is conveniently
located at the front of the printer, can
be used for special paper, transpar-
ency, envelopes, paper labels, card
stock, or index stock2. You can add
the optional 550 -sheet drawer to
increase paper options, reduce inter-
vention and improve user productivity.
The 250 - and 550 -sheet drawers can
be adjusted to accommodate legal or
folio size paper.
The easy-to-access output bin on
top of the printer holds up to 150
sheets. The single-sheet rear exit
provides a straight-through paper
path — an especially important
feature for specialty media — to help
reduce curling and potential jams.
Increase team productivity
Print multiple page images on one
page to save time, save paper and
save storage space. Use the “Booklet”
setting to print multiple pages in book-
let form without having to re-format
your document. Create posters without
a wide-format specialty printer by
printing a single image across several
pages, which can be combined to
create one large image.
Add printing capabilities
Use optional ash memory to print
watermarks or overlays, such as
company logos or letterheads, decora-
tive borders and simulated preprinted
forms. You can also use ash memory
to enable third-party solutions, custom
fonts and bar code fonts.
Manage the printer
The network model Infoprint 1512 has
a resident Web page, which you can
access from your browser. The resident
Web page features a real-time status
window, and it can report printer and
supplies status, printer settings, e-mail
status alerts and printing statistics. This
management tool also provides a “mirror”
of the messages that await you at the
printer on the operator panel.
Keep it simple
The Infoprint 1512 is shipped with a
setup guide to facilitate easy installation.
Designed for easy replacement, the
toner and photoconductor cartridges
are the Infoprint 1512’s only supply
items. The two -piece imaging system
can help keep your supplies cost low
— you pay only for the piece you need
when you need it.
Make a timely change
With features generally found in
higher priced printers, the Infoprint
1512 is a perfect choice to replace
older printers or expensive inkjet
printers while you improve speed
and quality and save money.
