Operational Features
The following list summarizes some of the operational features of the printer:
Standalone operation—The printer is designed to operate in an unattended
office environment. It does not require a dedicated operator for normal printing
tasks.
Operator messages and actions— The printer has a 32-character display for
messages, operator instructions, setup options, and host-related status.
Beeper— A beeper can alert operators when the printer requires attention.
Problem indicators— LEDs on a printer icon at the left of the operator panel
indicate where a problem such as a paper jam occurs.
Paper jam auto-eject doors—After a paper jam, you can usually auto-
matically clear the jammed paper by opening one or two doors.
Traces—The printer can perform several kinds of traces, which record details
about printer activities and communications with the control unit and the
controlling computer system, to assist service personnel.
Print samples—Several print sample masters are stored in the printer control
memory. Key operators can print these print samples whenever necessary to
sample print quality and solve problems.
Data Security
Authorization levels—You can have one or more persons designated as a
key operator. The key operator performs tasks such as configuring the printer,
cleaning the printer, adding new toner, and replacing supplies.
Password protection—You can specify that certain operator actions be
password-protected; in other words, only the person who knows the password
can perform certain key operator functions.
Toner cartridge—The printer monitors the toner supply and alerts the operator
when it should be replenished. In addition, automatic toner recycling reduces
the amount of toner the printer uses.
Error log—Sensors and other error-checking hardware detect status in the
printer. Information about errors is displayed to the operator and logged for
use in correcting problems.
The printer has the following data security features:
You cannot read data from the printer back to the controlling computer system.
You cannot print data that remains in memory after a job is finished.
Images on the photoconductor are cleaned and erased after each print.
The control unit accepts commands from the host to erase all residual print
data and fonts from its memory.
Characters stored in memory cannot be easily interpreted because they are
translated into a form different from 8-bit EBCDIC characters.
If many of the printing applications for your company are confidential, consider
placing the printer in a controlled-access area.
4 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
Fonts
The printer supports the following:
The IBM strategic font set, which includes:
– The IBM Core Interchange Resident Scalable Font Set
– The 4028 Compatibility Resident Font Set
– The IBM Coordinated Font Set
The DBCS Resident Raster Font Set (as a separately-orderable feature)
For a more detailed description of each font set, see Appendix A, “3160 Font Set”
on page 39.
Performance and Print Quality
The printer prints up to 60 impressions per minute in either simplex or duplex mode
when using long-edge-fed paper; it prints up to 30 impressions per minute for
short-edge-fed paper. Table 1 on page 6 summarizes the types of paper you can
use and the maximum impressions per minute you can print.
Notes:
1. Actual printer performance is affected by a number of factors, including how
you configure the printer, the complexity of the data you print, the performance
of the host-system and the attachment you use, and the amount of available
memory.
2. The quality of printer output is affected by the paper you use and the
composition of the logical pages you print.
Advanced Function Image and Graphics
The printer can directly process advanced Image Object Content Architecture
(IOCA) images and Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) graphics data,
as described in
SC31-6802. This provides the following performance benefits:
The printer can process compressed images and vector graphics data in the
GOCA format, thus reducing demand on attachment data transfer and host
storage.
The printer, rather than the host system, decompresses images and rasterizes
vectors, thus reducing host system processing cycles.
The printer can perform arbitrary scaling operations or resolution correction for
scanned images, which allows some complex jobs to print at greater throughput
by increasing the overall data-processing speed of the printer.

Chapter 1. InfoPrint 60 and 3160-001 Printers 5
Print Material and Paper Handling
The printer can use paper in a variety of sizes and weights, including preprinted
paper, perforated paper, punched paper, drilled paper, color stock, and adhesive
labels. The printer can accept paper with a basis weight of 64 to 160 grams per
square meter (17 to 42 pounds). Paper is fed automatically from paper trays and,
after printing, is automatically placed in output stackers.
Table 1 summarizes the paper sizes the printer can use and indicates the feed
orientation and the number of impressions per minute for each paper size. See
“Selecting Paper” on page 32 for more information on print materials you can use.

Chapter 2. Planning Overview
Chapter Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the planning process for installing an
InfoPrint 60 or 3160-001 printer.
There are two basic types of planning required for installing and using the printer:
physical planning and system planning.
Physical planning consists of:
– Determining the location for the printer.
– Preparing a layout plan for the printer
– Making sure all printer environmental, electrical, and space requirements
are met
For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing the Physical Environment” on
page 15. In addition, IBM offers special assistance with physical planning.
Contact your IBM branch office for information.
System planning consists of:
– Ordering the Advanced Function Presentation licensed programs and
updates required to use the printer
– Installing and testing the licensed programs and AFP resources
– Verifying that the host operating system is at the correct level
– Incorporating the printer into the system configuration and completing the
configuration worksheets
For more information, see Chapter 3, “Preparing the Processing Environment”
on page 11, and Chapter 5, “Configuring the Printer and Its Attachments” on
page 23 .
Another useful source of information when you are planning to install an IBM
InfoPrint 60 Printer or 3160 Advanced Function Printer is Preventative Service
Planning (PSP) "Buckets," accessible through IBM Link. The correct upgrade name
is PSF Printers, and the subset is 3160. For help accessing this aid, call the IBM

Sample Implementation Plan
Note
The following checklist contains many of the major tasks that must be
performed before and during printer installation. Use this checklist as a basis
for developing your own detailed implementation plan.
Also, note that the tasks you need to perform depend on whether or not you are
already running Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) programs.
Step One–Identify Team and Plan Layout
1. Identify the people who can prepare the physical site, identify and test
required software, and configure the host systems. Make sure to plan for
the printer and the attachment you use to connect it to your host system.
2. Order the printer including optional features you require, such as extra
memory.
3. Order any cabling, lines, equipment, or software you require for the
attachment you use to connect the printer to your host system.
4. Order the IBM Advanced Function Presentation licensed programs required
for your system. If you already use IBM Advanced Function Presentation
licensed programs, make sure they are at the service level required to
support the printer.
5. Make sure the host operating system is at the level required to support the
Advanced Function Presentation licensed programs and their updates.
6. Determine which printer resolution will be used and make sure the host
library resources (fonts, page segments, overlays, FORMDEFs, and
PAGEDEFs) are compatible with the printer resolution you select.
7. Prepare a plan for selecting and testing forms for use with the printer.
8. Determine the location for the printer and arrange for any changes to the
site.
9. Identify the internal delivery route for the printer
10. Prepare a space layout plan.
11. Determine who will install the electrical wiring and outlets.
12. Create a conversion plan for line-printer data and electronic overlays.
13. Prepare a plan for creating, converting, and testing applications that will be
used with the printer
Step Two–Review Plans, Order Supplies, and Prepare Site
1. Review installation plans with the IBM installation planning representative.
2. Order initial supplies for the printer.
3. Make sure attachment hardware is on order.
4. Schedule the installation of lines and equipment required for the
attachment.
5. Schedule the installation of electrical wiring and outlets.
8 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
6. Make sure required host system updates are installed.
7. Begin installing and testing the Advanced Function Presentation licensed
programs and updates on the host system.
Step Three–Review Progress of Site Preparation
1. Review site-preparation progress with the IBM installation planning
representative.
2. Make sure the electrical wiring and outlets are being installed on schedule.
3. Make sure the attachment lines and equipment are being installed on
schedule.
Step Four–Make sure Site Preparation is Complete
1. Make sure installation and testing of electrical wiring and outlet is complete.
2. Make sure all site preparation activity is complete.
3. Gather information for the configuration worksheets in Chapter 5,
“Configuring the Printer and Its Attachments” on page 23, and schedule an
NCP Generation if needed.
Important
Before the customer engineer can install the printer you must complete
a configuration worksheet for the attachments you plan to use.
Completing the attachment worksheets usually requires input from the
personnel responsible for network and device driver configuration.
Simplified versions of these worksheets are available in this book (see
“System Attachment Worksheets” on page 24). However, for detailed
worksheets, instructions, and examples, please refer to the
IBM

Step Five–Arrival of the 3160
1. Contact the customer engineer and arrange to have the printer installed.
2. Arrange to have the printer attached to the host system.
3. Complete tests of the Advanced Function Presentation licensed programs,
including the IBM-supplied installation verification procedures.
Chapter 2. Planning Overview 9
Additional Planning Tasks
Here are some other issues to consider before you install the printer
Training—Who will need training on the printer and AFP? Who will conduct
the training sessions? When will training be scheduled?
Implementation—How will the printer be phased into production? Which
applications will use the printer first?
Documentation—Which local procedures need to be changed? Who will be
responsible for changing local procedures? Who will need copies of IBM
hardware and software documents?
Supplies—How large should the initial printer supply order be? What is the
local procedure for ensuring that supplies are kept in stock? What is the
anticipated usage of the printer
10 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
Chapter 3. Preparing the Processing Environment
Chapter Overview
This chapter contains information to help system programmers integrate the
printer into the existing processing environment. The basic hardware, software,
and application requirements for the printer are described in “Host
Environments” on page 3 and “Application Environment” on page 3.
Performance Considerations
The quality of printer output is affected by the paper you use and the
composition of the logical pages you print. To ensure printing legibility in your
application, test small (4-point) fonts and special characters such as logos in
your application. Refer to the
Reference for Use with IBM Electrophotographic Printers
information about these considerations.
IBM Advanced Function Printer Cut-Sheet Paper
, G544-3915, for
The following factors affect the performance of the system and directly affect
communication to the printer:
– Speed of the computer system
– Amount of available memory
– Priority of tasks assigned in the system
– Control program used to drive the printer
– Attachment type and line speed
– Workload on the LAN when using a LAN attachment, such as TCP/IP over
Token-Ring or Ethernet
Consider the following when setting up your host-attachment configuration:
– Before attaching the printer to non-IBM equipment, ensure that the
equipment supports the printer. The equipment vendor can answer your
questions about configuration options and other attachment issues.
– High-speed, direct-access storage devices (DASD) are recommended for
spool data sets and library data sets, particularly for printing workloads
consisting of documents with many fonts and images.
– Printer performance is best when high-use devices are used on a separate
attachment from the printer. Printer throughput can be degraded if the
printer is attached with other high-use devices, such as disk units, tape
units, or another printer that prints complex documents.
Printer traces, which you can run to help diagnose problems with the
attachment, the software, or the printer microcode, run in the background while
the printer performs its normal operations, and may reduce throughput.
To minimize the downloading of fonts, consider using printer resident fonts
when possible.
When memory can hold fonts and images for several pages at one time,
performance improves substantially. Complex documents require more
memory and, therefore, can take longer to print.
Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 1996, 1998 11
The printer uses 6 MB of its 32 MB (3160-001) or 64 MB (InfoPrint 60). of
standard memory for downloading fonts, page segments, and overlays. To
determine if this is enough, calculate the total memory you need for fonts and
images on that page.
Depending on the size and number of characters within a font, about 25 kbytes
to 37.5 kbytes of memory are needed for each single-byte font. Additionally, at
least 7.5 kbytes of memory are needed for each square inch of image data
when the resolution is 240 x 240 (3160-001), and 45 kbytes per square inch
when the resolution is 600 x 600 (InfoPrint 60). For better performance within
a job, consider the font and image memory requirements for all of the pages
that comprise the job.
Note: The figures given here reflect memory requirements for normal usage
and are provided only as a guideline. Under unusual circumstances,
there can be additional considerations. For example, there is a limit to
the total number of characters and images that can be stored in
memory.
If you need additional memory, contact your IBM marketing representative.
The 3160-001 can be upgraded with an additional 16 or 32 MB of memory, and
the InfoPrint 60 with 32 or 64 MB.
Compatibility Considerations
Here are some factors to consider if you are sending jobs from other page printers
to the InfoPrint 60 or 3160-001 printer.
The printer supports fonts in the same format as those for the IBM 3130, 3820,
3825, 3827, 3828, 3835, and 3900 printers. User-modified or user-created
3800 printer fonts are not compatible with this printer's fonts.
Although the printer can print edge to edge, consider paper registration and
size variations when defining the margins.
The printer can print to the paper’s edge, but for the best print quality, the
following margins are recommended:
Edges: 2.5 mm (0.1 in.)
Punched holes: 3.0 mm (1.2 in.)
The printer's default point of origin is the top left corner of the short side of the
media.
12 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
Attachments
Important
Attaching your printer to your host system requires configuration changes to the
host system. Depending on the type of attachment and the host system you
use, you may need to make some configuration changes before you can install
the printer Several printer configuration parameters require values that match
values in your host system; at the least, you need to be prepared to provide
these values to the customer engineer who installs the printer
See Chapter 5, “Configuring the Printer and Its Attachments” on page 23 for
more details about configuring host systems.
Advanced Function Presentation Licensed Programs
Some Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) licensed programs are required for
the operation of the printer; others are optional. Work with your users to determine
which optional advanced functions they need. For a list of publications that
describe the programs you require for a particular environment, as well as a
summary of Advanced Function Presentation concepts, products, and benefits,
refer to the
Guide to Advanced Function Presentation
, G544-3876.
Installing and Verifying AFP Programs
Install and verify AFP programs before you install the printer. The licensed
programs include verification procedures to help you install the software correctly.
In addition, the system programmer is responsible for:
Creating the resources (page definitions, electronic overlays, form definitions,
and page segments) that the resource libraries will contain, beyond the
resources shipped with the PSF products being used
Creating or modifying the PSF startup procedure to include resource libraries
and attachment information
Enabling printer resident fonts, if necessary
Conversion
If Advanced Function Presentation is on another printer, you may begin the
conversion effort before you install the printer. Some tasks to consider are:
Changing font character sets
Converting line-printer applications to page-printer applications
Converting preprinted forms to electronic overlays
Creating new applications by using electronic overlays
Enhancing existing applications to take advantage of InfoPrint 60 or 3160-001
functions
Investigating applications that have special programming requirements
Chapter 3. Preparing the Processing Environment 13
AS/400 Migration Considerations
Here are some things to consider if you migrate your print workload to an InfoPrint
60 or 3160-001 printer attached to an AS/400 operating in the OS/400 environment.
Bolding Characters
Both OfficeVision and Data Description Specification (DDS, the native OS/400 key
word HIGHLIGHT function) enable you to make characters bold by using a font
modification parameter. The printer automatically prints the indicated characters
bold for any font supported by the printer. The printer supports this same function
for the set of fonts resident in the printer that have bold versions.
See “AS/400 Bolding Function, Native and OfficeVision” on page 52 for a list of the
printer fonts and what will occur when the bolding function is invoked.
Important
Bolding may cause changes to line length, and in some cases may cause
information to exceed the page width.
Enlarge Print Function
OfficeVision/400, the Advanced Function Presentation Utilities/400, and the Data
Description Specification (DDS), native OS/400 keyword for CHRSIZ enable you to
direct the printer to enlarge characters. This function is not supported on the
InfoPrint 60 or 3160-001 using fonts selected by FGID (Font Global ID). This
function is supported only under DDS if you use GDDM fonts. GDDM fonts are
selected by name, such as ADMVMOB for Multinational Open Block.
Box Draw Function
OfficeVision lets you draw boxes with the cursor and then print them as drawn.
The printer supports this function if you specify ON for the AS/400 Box Draw
Enhancement printer configuration item. If you specify OFF for the AS/400 Box
Draw Enhancement printer, boxes drawn with OfficeVision will have breaks in them.
Note: To print boxes correctly, the printer substitutes code page 1091 for code
page 259.
14 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
Chapter 4. Preparing the Physical Environment
Chapter Overview
This chapter describes the environmental, power, physical, and space
requirements you must meet before you install the printer. It includes an
installation planning worksheet.
Environmental Requirements
Temperature and Humidity
Table 2 lists the permitted temperature and relative humidity values for the printer.
Operating the printer above or below these ranges may result in poor print quality
and degraded paper handling.
Table 2. 3160 Temperature and Humidity Ranges
Temperature (Dry Bulb) Relative Humidity
Power on operations 10 to 32°C (50 to 90°F) 20% to 80%
Power off 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F) 8% to 80%
Shipping and storage -10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F) 5% to 90%
Altitude Range
Ventilation
The altitude range permitted for printer operation is sea level to 2133 meters (7000
feet).
The printer operates best in an air-conditioned computer room with year-round
humidity control and recirculated, filtered air. Dust and other contamination can
cause machine problems.
To reduce any health risks associated with preprinted forms, follow IBM preprinted
forms recommendations and provide appropriate ventilation to the printer area. The
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) recommends a minimum of 0.42-0.57 metersó/minute (15-20 ftó/minute)
per person of outdoor air make-up for an office size of 12 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft (32.4
Meteró) during human occupancy (ASHRAE 62-1989).
For information about selecting and safely using preprinted forms, refer to the
Advanced Function Printer: Cut-Sheet Paper Reference for Use with IBM
Electrophotographic Printers
, G544-3915.
IBM
Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 1996, 1998 15
Heat and Airflow
Average heat dissipation of the printer while printing is less than 27 kcal/minute
(107 BTU/minute), based on 1.5 kVA for the printer.
No airflow restrictions apply if the printer is installed according to the guidelines and
floor plans established in this document.
Sound Levels
The upper limits for sound level are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. Sound Levels

Idle 6.5 bels (49.6 dBA) 6.5 bels (50.4 dBA)
Operating 7.4 bels (59.2 dBA) 7.5 bels (58.8 dBA)
Power Requirements
Warning
Do not connect the printer to any 380—415 IT power distribution system
(impedance grounded neutral system).
Make sure your installation meets the electrical power requirements listed in
Table 4 on page 17 before the printer is delivered. In addition:
Reserve a dedicated circuit to support the printer and to allow the printer to be
disconnected from power. If you order the 3000-sheet side stacker (option),
reserve another dedicated circuit for it or put it on the same circuit as the
printer. Do not put anything else on the circuits dedicated to the printer, to the
stacker, or to the printer and stacker.
Provide electrical outlets for auxiliary equipment, such as modems or
communication modules. If necessary, make sure a telephone line and jack
are available.
For your safety, the printer is equipped with a plug required and approved by
UL and CSA. Use it in conjunction with a properly grounded receptacle.

Physical Layout and Space Requirements
Figure 2 shows the space requirements for a permanent installation.
As you plan your physical layout:
Install the printer away from the main traffic pattern. Allow space for key
operators and customer engineers to perform their tasks. This space should
not extend into walkways.
Install the printer in a location that is convenient for the key operator and other
users. For example, consider whether the planned location is close to printer
supply storage areas and to output distribution areas.
Allow 2.1 meters (83 in.) between the floor and the lowest permanently
attached object above the printer, such as a light or a cable rail. This layout
gives printer operators and customer engineers space in which to work.
Check the route that the printer must travel from your loading dock to the
location where it will be installed, to ensure that it fits through the doorways and
halls. When possible, move the printer from the dock to its installation location
on its shipping pallet.
Note: Install the printer permanently in the service position if you attach it to a
System/370 parallel channel (available only with 3160-001).

Make sure the environmental, electrical, and space requirements specified in
this chapter are met. Use the “Installation Planning Worksheet” on page 21 to
complete this step.
Make sure the receiving area and internal delivery route contain no obstacles
that might interfere with moving the printer to its planned location:
– Halls and doorways must be large enough for the printer to pass through,
and corners and angles must be large enough to permit the printer to turn.
For example, the minimum doorway opening through which this printer can
pass from a 91.5 cm (36 in.) wide aisle is 75 cm (30 in.).
– Ramps must have no more than 12 degrees, 50 minutes incline to allow
clearance for the lower edge of the printer with its supporting feet retracted.
– Elevators and elevator doorways must be able to accommodate the size
and weight of the printer and the people who are moving it.
– Stairs, sills, and gaps, and carpeting can make rolling the printer difficult.
Do not tilt the printer more than 15°.
Make sure that the floor is level within ±1.5° from earth horizontal in any plane.
Make sure that an approved electrical outlet with correct power is reserved for
the printer (and another for the 3000-sheet stacker (option), if appropriate), and
that it can be reached with the power cable.
If the printer is being installed in an area with a raised floor, make sure the
access hole in the raised floor is large enough for both the communication
attachment cables and the power cable.

Function Printers: Atttachment Configuration Handbook
The printer is connected to a host Ethernet using the Integrated Ethernet LAN adapter contained in the
control unit.
The control unit can be attached directly to standard Thick (10Base5) Ethernet coaxial cable (Feature
Code 4163) (3160-001). The output connector is a thick, 15-pin, D-shell “slide-latch” type that is
compatible with IEEE 802.3 Section 7.6. Connection to thick Ethernet media is through an Ethernet/IEEE
802.3 AUI cable available from OEM vendors. Attachment to thin (10Base2) or twisted-pair (10BaseT)
Ethernet media is through external transceivers.
The coaxial T connector is used in addition to the 10Base2 transceiver to connect to the thin Ethernet
coaxial cable. You should use a customer-supplied RJ45 unshielded twisted-pair cable (must meet IEEE
802.3 requirements) to attach the 10BaseT transceiver to the Ethernet twisted-pair hub.

Chapter 6. Ordering and Storing Supplies
Chapter Overview
This chapter describes how to order and store the supplies that the printer uses.
Printer Supplies
Table 13 lists printer supplies, the part numbers you use to order them, and an
estimate of how often they need to be replaced. The yields listed in the table are
approximations. They are not a warranty or guarantee of minimum life, and are
provided only to assist in supplies planning. Analyze your actual usage figures to
determine how much of each supply item to stock.
Actual supply life varies according to printer usage, toner settings, paper
characteristics, temperature, and humidity. In addition, special applications (such
as adhesive labels, extensive graphics, bar codes, landscape applications, and
pre-printed forms) may significantly reduce supply life.
When the printer runs low on a particular supply, it displays a message on the
operator panel.

Selecting Paper
In other countries, contact your point of purchase for information about where to
return items.
Printing on paper that does not comply with paper specifications may result in
paper jams and print quality degradation. The printer uses xerographic white
paper, pastel-colored paper, prepunched paper, preprinted paper, cardstock, and
adhesive labels.
Xerographic paper is required to satisfy various electrical, heat, and mechanical
characteristics. Select only high quality papers and forms to avoid print quality and
printer paper handling problems. IBM recommends that you initially test several
reams of special use materials in your printer before you purchase large quantities
for a given application. For more detailed information regarding paper
characteristics and pretesting, refer to

PSF Support Notes
Basic N_Up and Enhanced N_Up Printing:
Basic N_UP
Enhanced N_UP (Page Positioning)
Enables printing output that places one, two, three, or four pages in sequence
in equal-sized partitions on each side of a sheet. Two 8.5 X 11 inch application
pages can print two-up on a single 11 X 17 inch paper sheet. For duplex
operations, each side of the form or sheet of paper can have up to four pages.
Enables the following:
– Page Orientation – places individual pages in any position on either side of
the sheet in any orientation and in any size that fits on the sheet.
– Overlays – places overlays relative to any partition origin with or without
variable page data from the application program. You can specify different
overlays for each page.
– Offsets – specifies different offsets for each page.

Appendix B. Software and Hardware Requirements 61
PSF/2 Support
Resident fonts are not supported when using the DPF function of PSF/2.
When using “PSF Direct,” the function supported is equivalent to that provided
by the Host PSF, so resident fonts are supported.
PSF for AIX Support
When using “PSF Direct,” the function supported is equivalent to that provided by
the Host PSF.
System Test
SNA Token-Ring uses NETVIEW for recording errors. Token-Ring uses the
Self-Test Frame on the ring itself.
For AS/400 use the Verify Print (VFYPRT) command to obtain the printer type and
send a test print. The AS/400 uses ERAPs to log errors.
Applications
The 3160 and InfoPrint 60 print text data referred to as Coded Information, image
data referred to as Non-Coded Information, and GDDM raster graphics. You can
print all of these at any location on the printed page and in any combination.
Printing the mixture or combination of data at any printed page location is called All
Points Addressable or APA printing.

For all of the attachments listed below the data received for printing is in the form
of the IPDS described in
SNA or TCP/IP Token Ring
Note: SNA token-ring connectivity is available for the 3160-001 and InfoPrint 60.
The 3160 connects to a Host Token-Ring through the IBM Token-Ring cabling. It
uses the ‘Token-Ring High-Performance Adapter’ which is in the AFCCU. The
adapter and an 8-foot long external cable are provided when this feature is ordered.
The external cable is connected to an IBM 8228 Token-Ring Multistation Access
Unit or an IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network Controller Access Unit which is
connected as follows:
Directly to a PS/2, AS/400, or RISC System/6000 CPU, or
To a 3172, 3174, 3720, 3725, or 3745, which in turn is connected directly to a
ES/4381, 308X, ES/3090, or ES/9000 CPU
The control unit can attach to either a 16 Mbit/sec or a 4 Mbit/sec Token-Ring Local
Area Network.

TCP/IP Ethernet
For details on TCP/IP attachment, see
Advanced Function Printers: Attachment Configuration Handbook
The printer offers one of three Ethernet Attachment types as an optional feature:
IBM InfoPrint 60; 3130, 3160, and 3935
, S544-3977.
10Base-T (Twisted Pair)
The printer can attach to standard Twisted Pair (10BaseT) cable. The feature
attachment includes the type 10BaseT transceiver and the transceiver cable used
to connect the transceiver to the printer. RJ45 unshielded twisted pair cable (which
must meet IEEE 802.3 requirements) is required to attach the 10BaseT transceiver
to the Ethernet Twisted Pair Network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for
diagnostic purposes.
Connection can be either directly to a RISC System/6000, or to a 8250 or 8260
Twisted Pair Hub which connects to a RISC System/6000 or a PS/2.
10Base2 (Thin Coaxial)
The printer can attach to standard Thin type 10Base2 Ethernet coaxial cable. The
attachment includes the type 10Base2 transceiver and the transceiver cable used
to connect the transceiver to the printer. The transceiver attaches to standard Thin
Ethernet Network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for diagnostic purposes.
Connection is made directly to a RISC System/6000, PS/2, or AS/400.
10Base5 (Thick Coaxial)
(3160-001)
The 3160-001 can be attached to standard Thick type 10Base5 Ethernet coaxial
cable. A type 10Base5 cable is required to connect the D-connector on the printer
to the 10Base5 network. A wrap plug is included with the feature for diagnostic
purposes.
Connection is made directly to a RISC System/6000, PS/2, or AS/400.
64 InfoPrint 60 and 3160 Introduction and Planning Guide
System/370 Channel Attachment
Note: System/370 channel attachment is available for 3160-001 and InfoPrint 60.
A System/370 Parallel Channel can be configured to use either DC Interlock
(double-tag) mode, or Data-Streaming mode.
You can configure data streaming mode for one of the following transfer rates:
1.9 MB per second
2.7 MB per second
3.4 MB per second
4.5 MB per second
The highest data-streaming mode rate supported on the attaching host system is
the recommended transfer mode; use it if possible.
When connecting to a System/370 channel, locate the printer a maximum distance
of 122 meters (400 feet) from the channel if it is the only control unit on the
interface. For each additional control unit ahead of the printer on the channel, the
maximum distance is reduced by 4.57 meters (15 feet).
You can connect the printer to the remote end of either an IBM 3044-II Fiber Optic
Channel Extender (RPQ approval required), or an IBM 9034 ESCON Converter to
extend the maximum channel length by up to 3 kilometers (1.875 miles).
Note: Connection through a 3044-II is limited to the IBM ES/4381, IBM 308X, IBM
ES/3090, and IBM ES/9000 processing systems only.
Also, you can use the IBM 9034 with either an IBM 9032 or 9033 ESCON Director
to further extend the maximum channel length by up to 6 kilometers (3.750 miles)
with one 9032/9033 in static connection mode (with RPQ approval), or by up to 9
kilometers (5.625 miles) with two 9032/9033 in static connection mode (with RPQ
approval).
Also, you can use the Extended Distance Feature (XDF) on the 9032/9033 ESCON
Directors to increase the distance. Contact your IBM Marketing Representative for
information about ordering cables.
Appendix B. Software and Hardware Requirements 65
Figure 6 shows the details of the above connection options, with the distance
extensions shown on the Host System side of the diagram.
Figure 6. Parallel Channel Attachment Options (3160-001)
Notes:
1. 122 meters (400 ft) maximum from ES/4381, 308X, ES/3090, or ES/9000.
2. When attached to an IBM 3044 Fiber Optic Channel or an IBM 9034 ESCON
Converter, configure the printer for one of the Data-Streaming transfer modes,
not the DC Interlock transfer mode.
Note: An exception to the above is when XDF in used in the interface and the
distance between the host and the printer exceeds 10 km. In this case, use
the DC Interlock mode. And to keep the performance in an acceptable range,
the cable length from the 9034 to the printer should be less than 100 feet (30.5
meters).
3. RPQ approval is required for this configuration/distance.
4. RPQ approval is required. The maximum distance for the environment will be
specified with the approval.
5. SM = Single Mode (Laser Driver - 20 km (12.4 miles) maximum distance).
MM = Multi Mode (LED Driver - 3 km (1.86 miles) maximum distance).
