Chapter Overview

This chapter describes the characteristics, functions, features, and components
of the 3130.

General Description

The 3130 is a cut-sheet, intermediate speed, non-impact, all-points-addressable
printer. It uses low-power laser, electrophotographic print technology, and is
capable of a volume-capacity of up to 200 000 impressions per month at speeds of
up to 30 impressions per minute.

The 3130 can print at a resolution of either 240 x 240 or 300 x 300 picture
elements (pels), and can be used for text, graphics, optical character recognition
(OCR), and bar code printing. Text, images, and electronic overlays can be placed
at any defined point on the page areas on which the 3130 can print.

The 3130 also features a high-speed RISC/6000-based control unit, which provides
the following benefits:

 The ability to process complex print jobs at high speed
 Expanded network attachment capability
 Improved paper handling.

The O1S and O2S models shown on the following page are no longer marketed.
They are shown for reference as current inventory machines.

IPDS Application Environment

The 3130 supports IBM Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) software, a
collection of licensed programs that let application developers take advantage of
many special kinds of printing, including bar code and optical character recognition
(OCR) output. Three OCR fonts are available from IBM: OCR-A, OCR-B, and OCR

128. Many kinds of bar codes can be obtained. See “240-Pel to 300-Pel Migration
Considerations (IPDS-Only)” on page 15 for additional bar code considerations.

Advanced Function Presentation uses the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) to
drive the printer. Refer to the
G544-3876, for more information. The 3130 also supports PostScript and PCL-5e
data streams. See Appendix B, “Software and Hardware Requirements” on
page 59 for additional information about these date streams.

 Operator messages and actions—the 3130 has a 32-character display for

messages, operator instructions, setup options, and host-related status.

 Beeper—the 3130 has a beeper that can alert operators whenever the 3130

requires attention.

Chapter 1. Introduction to the 3130 Advanced Function Printer 5

 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 drawers—after a paper jam, you can usually

automatically clear the jammed paper by opening one or two auto-eject
drawers.

 Traces—the 3130 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 3130 control

memory. Key operators can print these print samples whenever necessary to
sample print quality or solve problems.

 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.

You can specify that certain operator actions be password-protected; in other
words, only the person who knows the password will be able to perform certain
key operator functions.

Data Security

 Toner cartridge—the 3130 monitors the toner supply and alerts the operator

when it should be replenished. In addition, automatic toner recycling reduces
the amount of toner the 3130 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 3130 has the following data security features:

 You cannot read data from the 3130 back into the controlling computer system.
 You cannot print data that remains in memory after a job is finished.
 Images on the photoconductor are removed after each print.
 The control unit accepts commands from the host to erase all residual print

data and fonts from its memory.

 You can specify non-spooled mode for most ASCII jobs. Refer to

Advanced Function Printer System Administration Guide

If many of the printing applications for your company are confidential, consider
placing the 3130 in a controlled-access area.

Performance and Print Quality

The 3130 prints up to 30 impressions per minute in either simplex or duplex mode
when using long-edge fed paper; it prints up to 15 impressions per minute for
short-edge fed paper. Table 2 on page 8 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 (IPDS Only)

The 3130 can directly process advanced Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA)
images and Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) graphics data, as
described in
This, in turn, provides the following performance benefits:

 The 3130 can process compressed images and vector graphics data in the

GOCA format, thus reducing demand on attachment data transfer and host
storage.

 The 3130, rather than the host system, decompresses images and rasterizes

vectors, thus reducing host system processing cycles.

 The 3130 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. Introduction to the 3130 Advanced Function Printer 7

Print Material and Paper Handling

The 3130 can use paper in a variety of sizes and weights, including preprinted
paper, perforated paper, three-hole punched paper, drilled paper, color stock, and
adhesive labels. The 3130 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 2 summarizes the paper sizes the 3130 can use and indicates the feed
orientation and the number of impressions per minute for each paper size. See
“Selecting Paper” on page 30 for more information on print materials you can use.

Paper input trays provide automatic, printer-controlled paper tray switching so you
can load unused paper trays while the printer is running. Prints are stacked in
output stackers, which collate printed pages face down and have offsetting
capability.

The duplex model of the 3130 lets you print both sides of paper without restacking
and refeeding the sheets.

8 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

Chapter 2. Planning Overview

Chapter Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the planning process for installing a 3130
printer.

There are two basic types of planning required for installing and using the 3130:
physical planning and system planning.

 Physical planning consists of:

– Determining the location for the 3130
– Preparing a layout plan for the 3130
– Making sure all 3130 environmental, electrical, and space requirements are

met.

For more information, see Chapter 4, “Preparing the Physical Environment” on
page 19. In addition, IBM offers special assistance with physical planning.
Contact your IBM branch office for information.

 System planning consists of:

– (IPDS-only) Ordering the Advanced Function Presentation licensed

programs and updates required to use the printer.

– (IPDS-only) Installing and testing the licensed programs and AFP

resources.
– (PostScript and PCL5e-only) Installing colon files and drivers.
– Verifying that the host operating system is at the correct level.
– Incorporating the 3130 into the system configuration and completing the

configuration work sheets.

For more information, see Chapter 3, “Preparing the Processing Environment”
on page 13 and Chapter 5, “Configuring the 3130” on page 25.

Important

Before the customer engineer can install the 3130, you must
complete a configuration worksheet for the attachment you plan to
use. Completing the attachment worksheets usually requires input from

the personnel responsible for network and device driver configuration.
For detailed worksheets, instructions, and examples, refer to

InfoPrint 60; 3130, 3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printer:
Attachment Configuration Handbook

local procedure for ensuring that supplies are kept in stock? What is the
anticipated usage of the 3130?

12 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

Chapter 3. Preparing the Processing Environment

Chapter Overview

This chapter contains information to help system programmers integrate the
3130 into the existing processing environment. The basic hardware, software,
and application requirements for the 3130 are described in Appendix B,
“Software and Hardware Requirements” on page 59.

Performance Considerations

 The quality of 3130 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

 The following factors affect the performance of the system and directly affect

communication to the 3130:

for information about these considerations.

IBM Advanced Function Printer Cut-Sheet Paper

– 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.

 Consider the following when setting up your host-attachment configuration:

– Before attaching the 3130 to non-IBM equipment, ensure that the

equipment supports the 3130. 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 3130. Printer throughput can be degraded if the 3130
is attached with other high-use devices such as disk units, tape units, or
another 3130 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.

 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.

 To minimize the downloading of fonts, consider using printer resident fonts

when possible. When using IPDS, also consider marking host fonts as "public"
to allow the printer to capture and internally cache frequently used non-resident
fonts. You can order up to 32MB of additional memory in increments of 16MB.
To order additional memory, contact your IBM marketing representative.

 Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 1996 13

Compatibility Considerations

Here are some factors to consider if you are sending jobs from other page printers
to the 3130:

 (IPDS-Only) The 3130 supports fonts in the same format as those for the IBM

3160, 3820, 3825, 3827, 3828, 3835, and 3900 printers. User-modified or
user-created 3800 printer fonts are not compatible with the 3130 fonts.

 Although the 3130 can print edge-to-edge, consider registration and paper size

variations when defining the margins.

 The 3130 can print to the paper’s edge, but for the best print quality, margins

are recommended as follows:

Edges: 2.5 mm (0.1 in.)
Punched holes: 3 mm (1.2 in.)

 The 3130 default point of origin is the top left corner of the short side of the

media.

Attachments

Important

Attaching your 3130 to your host system requires configuration changes to the
host system. Depending on the type of attachment and the host system you
use, some configuration changes may need to be performed before the 3130
can be installed. Several 3130 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 3130. Refer to

IBM InfoPrint 60; 3130, 3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printer: Attachment
Configuration Handbook

for more details about configuring host systems.

Advanced Function Presentation Licensed Programs (IPDS-Only)

Some Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) licensed programs are required for
the operation of the 3130; 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 3130. 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.

 Creating or modifying the PSF startup procedure to include resource libraries

and attachment information.

 Enabling printer resident fonts, if necessary.

14 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

Conversion

If Advanced Function Presentation is available on another printer, you may want to
begin the conversion effort before you install the 3130. Some tasks to consider
include:

 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 3130 functions
 Investigating applications that have special programming requirements.

240-Pel to 300-Pel Migration Considerations (IPDS-Only)

The 3130 can print at 240-pel or 300-pel resolution. Usually, converting from
240-pel to 300-pel resolution requires little effort. You may need to evaluate
applications that create complex printed pages with images, multiple fonts,
graphics, and overlays for visual differences that occur at 300-pel resolution.

The following sections describe some more issues to consider if you choose to
migrate from 240-pel to 300-pel resolution.

IOCA Images and IM Images

The 3130 printer supports image printing in one of two formats: IM image or IOCA
image. If you print at 300-pel resolution, 240-pel IM images are automatically
converted to IOCA and scaled to 300-pels.

While the 300-pel image and the 240-pel image will be the identical size, you may
see some differences in the shading, diagonal lines, and curves of the image.
Applications that produce images that are sensitive to exact duplication should be
tested before migrating them to 300-pel resolution.

GOCA Objects

Graphical objects defined with vectors should look the same at 240-pel or 300-pel
resolution because the 3130 builds the bit map for GOCA objects.

Fonts

When migrating print workload to the 3130, first determine if the fonts used by the
application are resident in the 3130 or supported by the IBM PSF software as
300-pel raster fonts. Appendix A, “3130 Font Set” on page 37 details the fonts
that the 3130 supports.

If the font you need is supported by the 3130, the 300-pel version of the font will be
provided either from the resident outline font library or from the host raster-font
library, to be downloaded from the host.

Chapter 3. Preparing the Processing Environment 15

Notes:

1. For MVS, make sure to use the PSF APSRMARK utility to mark the resident
fonts before you use them. PSF/MVS also ships another utility, APSRCF30,
which you can use to convert 240-pel fonts to 300-pel fonts.

2. For VSE, make sure to use the PSF APTRMARK utility to mark the resident
fonts before you use them. PSF/VSE also ships another utility, APTVCF30,
which you can use to convert 240-pel fonts to 300-pel fonts.

See “PSF Support Notes” on page 62 for more information. Refer to

System Programming Guide

information about these utilities. To create fonts from Adobe Type 1 fonts, you can
use the Type Transformer, which is shipped with PSF/2.

The 3130 300-pel printed output will have the same line and page endings, but the
right margins may not perfectly match those of the 240-pel version. For example,
the typical line variation for a 12-point font is ± 13 mm (0.05 in.) or about one-half a
character width.

If the font requested is not supported by the 3130 or by PSF, you can use either a
supported substitute font or obtain a 300-pel version of the font from a font vendor.
If you use a substitute font, the line endings, page endings, and right margins may
be different from the 240-pel printed version.

and

Page Definitions and Form Definitions

Page definitions and form definitions often contain images and fonts that are
dependent on resolution. Check these resources to see if they specify fonts,
overlays, and page segments that need to be considered for migration or
conversion. Also, overlays can specify other objects such as fonts and page
segments that may need to be considered for migration or conversion.

Bar Codes

The 3130 can print the following types of bar codes:

PSF/MVS:

PSF/VSE: System Programming Guide

for

 BCOCA - If the print data set was designed to run on a printer with BCOCA, it

can be run with little or no change on a 3130. Some bar codes may print
slightly differently on the 3130. Some differences include:

– The 3812, 3816, and 4028 insert a blank area (called a quiet zone) at the

beginning of the bar code area. Other printers, such as the 3130, 4224,

4230, and 4234 do not.
– The Code128 modifier may print in a different position with the 3130.
– EAN2, EAN5, UPC2, and UPC5 bar codes may print larger than they did

on previous printers.

See the reference materials for your software and printers for more specific
details on bar code implementation. For implementing BCOCA bar codes, see
your application software documentation for information.

 Bar Codes Generated by DCF - When a program such as Document

Composition Facility (DCF) is used to generate bar codes using draw rules, the
output should be tested on the 3130 with the scanning equipment used for
reading the bar codes. The different resolution of the printer may cause very
slight differences in the placement of the bar code components.

16 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

 Bar Code Fonts - Non-resident bar code fonts also may be used. Check with

your font vendor for the availability of the desired 300-pel rasterized bar code
fonts.

Overlay Generation Language/370

With the Overlay Generation Language/370 (OGL/370), you can define overlays
used to create forms. The overlay components (offsets, line lengths, line thickness,
radii, and so on) are automatically scaled by the 3130 with the PSF software.
Some differences may occur with slight “stair-stepping” effects for diagonal lines
with rounded corners and some shading changes.

In addition, overlays created with OGL can specify other resources such as fonts
and page segments which may need to be considered for migration or conversion.
You should test applications using OGL/370 before migrating them to the 3130.

AS/400 Migration Considerations (IPDS-Only)

Here are some things to consider if you migrate your print workload to a 3130
attached to an AS/400 operating in the OS/400 environment.

Bolding of 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 3130 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 (IPDS-Only)” on page 50 for a
list of the 3130 fonts and what will occur when the bolding function is invoked.

Note: Note that 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 3130
using fonts selected by FGID (Font Global ID). This function is only supported
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 3130 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 draw boxes correctly, the 3130 substitutes code page 1091 for code

page 259.

Chapter 3. Preparing the Processing Environment 17

Other Font Considerations

IPDS, PostScript and PCL5e fonts are listed in Appendix A, “3130 Font Set” on
page 37 and are resident in the 3130.

Your job can download fonts not listed if you have them on your host system and
your job requires them. Usually, the printer stores them in RAM and deletes them
whenever the 3130 is powered off. However, the printer can store downloaded
IPDS fonts on the hard disk.

A facility in the printer allows you to add fonts from a diskette to the hard drive and
avoid losing them at power off. It also allows you to delete fonts from the hard
drive. The fonts are:

For PostScript: Type 1 fonts
For IPDS: AFP outline fonts containing either Type 1 or Character

For PCL: TrueType or Intellifont fonts

This chapter describes the environmental, power, physical, and space
requirements you must meet before you install the 3130. It includes an
installation planning worksheet.

Environmental Requirements

Temperature and Humidity

Table 3 lists the permitted temperature and relative humidity values for the 3130.
Operating the 3130 above or below these ranges may result in poor print quality
and degraded paper handling.

Table 3. 3130 Temperature and Humidity Ranges

Temperature Relative Humidity

With Power On 16 to 32°C (60 to 90°F) 20 to 80%
With Power Off 10 to 43°C (50 to 109°F) 8 to 80%
Shipping and Storage -10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F) 5 to 90%

Altitude Range

The altitude range permitted for 3130 operation is sea level to 2100 meters (7000
feet).

Ventilation

The 3130 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

Heat and Airflow

Average heat dissipation of the 3130 while printing is less than 930 Kcal/hour (3690
BTU/hour) based on 1.08kVA for the printer.

Power Requirements

Attention

Do not connect the 3130 to any 380—415 IT power distribution system
(impedance grounded neutral system).

Make sure that your installation meets the electrical power requirements listed in
Table 5 before the printer is delivered. In addition:

 Reserve a dedicated electrical outlet to support the printer and to allow the

printer to be disconnected from power. This can be:

– A compatible receptacle installed near the 3130.
– A circuit breaker that breaks all live poles. This circuit breaker must be

dedicated to the 3130 printer.

 Provide electrical outlets for auxiliary equipment, such as modems or

communication modules. If necessary, make sure a telephone line and jack
are available.

 The 3130 is equipped with an approved plug for your safety. Use it in

conjunction with a properly grounded receptacle. Refer to Appendix C to find
out which type plug is supplied in your country.

Physical Layout and Space Requirements

Figure 1 on page 22 shows the space requirements for a permanent installation.
As you plan your physical layout:

 Install the 3130 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 3130 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 3130, 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 3130 must travel from your loading dock to the

location where it will be installed, to make sure it fits through the doorways and
halls. When possible, move the printer from the dock to its installation location
on its shipping pallet.

Installation Requirements

Procedures for installing the 3130 are included with the printer and in the

Advanced Function Printer: Maintenance Information

. This section describes only

3130

physical installation requirements. See “Implementation Plan” on page 10 for
complete planning information. The installation is done by a service person;
however, the customer is responsible for the following pre-installation requirements:

 Make sure the environmental, electrical, and space requirements specified in

this chapter are met. Use the “Physical Installation Worksheet” on page 23 to
complete this step.

 Make sure the receiving area and internal delivery route contain no obstacles

that might interfere with moving the 3130 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 the 3130 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.

22 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

– 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 it difficult to roll the printer.

 Do not tilt the printer past a 15° angle.
 Ensure that the floor is level within ±1.5° from earth horizontal in any plane.
 Ensure that an approved electrical outlet with correct power is reserved for the

3130, and that it can be reached with the power cable.

 If the 3130 is being installed in an area with a raised floor, ensure that the

access hole in the raised floor is large enough for both the communication
attachment cables and the power cable.

Physical Installation Worksheet

Before your 3130 is delivered, prepare a site installation plan. Use the following

Advanced Function Printer: Attachment Configuration Handbook

have a copy, ask your marketing representative to get you one. Installing these
attachments may require changes to your host system configuration.

Twinaxial Attachment

Twinaxial attachments directly attach the 3130 to an AS/400. A twinaxial cable
system supports cable-through capability, which allows more than one device to be
connected to a single cable. Refer to

Programming

, SC31-3713.

Ethernet TCP/IP and NetWare Attachment

The 3130 is connected to a host Ethernet using the ‘Integrated Ethernet LAN
adapter’ contained in the control unit.

IBM InfoPrint 60; 3130, 3160, and 3935

. If you do not

Application System/400 Printer Device

The control unit can be attached directly to standard Thick (10Base5) Ethernet
coaxial cable (Feature Code 4163). 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.

SDLC SNA Attachment

The 3130 can be attached to a host SDLC network by RS232 or V.35 cabling using
the Four-Port Multiprotocol Communication Controller Adapter contained in the
printer control unit. The Four-Port Multiprotocol Communication Controller Adapter
connects, through a 3-meter (10-foot) Four-Port Multiprotocol Interface cable to
either a 3-meter (10-foot) RS232 cable or to a 2-meter (7-foot) V.35 cable.

Notes:

1. SNA SDLC is intended to run on leased (non-switched) lines in point-to-point
mode for either EIA 232 (19.2 Kbps) or V.35 (56 Kb/second) for limited
distance modems or modem eliminators. You may also run V.35 (56 Kbps) on
leased line (DDS1 Digital Data Service) point-to-point with digital DSU/CSU
modems. Using speeds less than 19.2 Kbps, multipoint operation, or both can
slow printer performance and is not recommended. Clocking is provided by
setting limited distance modems or modem eliminators to an internal clock, or
by setting digital DSU/CSU modems to a network clock.

2. The 3130 can replace a 3820 printer, but for better performance, change the
MAXDATA or MAXFRAME and RU sizes in your VTAM, NCP, or system
configurations.

Chapter 5. Configuring the 3130 27

Token-Ring (SNA, TCP/IP, and NetWare) Attachment

The 3130 can be attached to a host system using a 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps token-ring
local area network (LAN) with the IBM Token-Ring cabling and Token-Ring
High-Performance Adapter contained in the printer control unit.

The printer can be located a maximum of 100 meters (328 feet) from the 8228
Multistation Access Unit or 8230 Controlled Access Unit. The 8219 or 8220 Optical
Fiber Repeaters can be used to increase this distance.

PC Parallel Attachment

The 3130 is connected to a host through the Integrated PC Parallel Adapter in the
printer control unit. A standard PC parallel cable or a separately orderable network
print server (NPS) connects the printer to the host computer.

28 3130 Advanced Function Printer: Introduction and Planning Guide

Chapter 6. Ordering and Storing Supplies

Chapter Overview

This chapter describes how to order and store the supplies that the 3130 uses.

Printer Supplies

Table 9 lists printer supplies, parts, the part numbers you can 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 3130 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 3130 uses standard 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 3130 before you purchase large quantities
for a given application. For more detailed information regarding paper
characteristics and pretesting, refer to

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper has ink applied before the printer prints on it. Be sure that ink
used in preprinting is non-volatile and contains drying or resin oils. Ink must not
transfer when fusing temperatures are 200°C (392°F) and pressures are 450kPA
(65 lbs/in2) for several seconds. IBM recommends the following inks:

The shaded area in Figure 4 should not contain printing. Printing in this area can
cause false double-sheet feeds.

 Cured by ultraviolet
 Cured by heat (Tinplate ink)
 Dried by oxidative polymerization

Figure 4. Preprinted Sheet

Envelopes

For optimum printing results, use either new 90 g/mò (24 lb) sulfite (100%)
chemical wood pulp) or 25% cotton bond envelopes. Before ordering large
quantities of your envelopes, run several small jobs to make sure that they work
properly. 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).
Use only envelopes that are able to withstand these temperatures without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the
supplier of the envelopes you plan to use to determine if they are usable with laser
printers.

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

paper forms supplier, and your marketing representative to help you choose the
best forms and special-purpose materials for your applications.

Storing Paper and Supplies

Store paper and supplies that you intend to use soon near the printer, both for
convenience and to condition the paper.

Otherwise, store paper and supplies

 In their original wrappers, away from heat or dampness
 On a flat surface, such as a shelf, but not on the floor
 In a closable cabinet for protection and monitoring.

Store forms and special-purpose materials in an area where the temperature and
humidity are similar to the environment where you will use them. Avoid areas with
extreme heat or humidity. Extended exposure to extremes can permanently
damage the materials. Storing forms in an area where relative humidity is above
65% may result in reduced print quality.

AS/400 Bolding Function, Native and OfficeVision (IPDS-Only)

The following tables show the typeface substitutions that occur on the 3130 printer
when an application running in native OS/400 or OfficeVision uses the “bolding”
function. The tables list the original typeface, the typeface that the 3130
substitutes, and the FGIDs of both.

Notes:

1. This support is available for resident fonts only.

2. The bold font may have different metrics than the original font; this can affect
line endings.

PostScript Resident Font Set

This font set is available in SBCS outline 300 pel only.
The 3130 has three sets of resident PostScript fonts. These three sets are:

 Fifty-six Type 1 fonts. A few of these fonts have names that are identical to

names of fonts in the set of Adobe standard fonts.

 Thirteen duplicate Type 1 fonts with different names. These fonts are

duplicates of fonts from the first set, with their names changed for IBM
compatibility purposes.

 Ten Type 42 Fonts. These are TruType fonts converted to Type 42 format for

use by PostScript. Some of them have significantly fewer characters than
PostScript fonts normally have. None of them provide all of the characters for
the PostScript Standard encoding or ISO Latin 1 encoding.

For six of these fonts, the names are the names of the corresponding Type 1
typeface. Four of them have names tht start with the names of the corresponding
Type 1 typeface, and have a "TT" suffix. The "TT" distinguishes them from the
like-named Type 1 fonts, so that you can access both of them.

Attachments

information about host software requirements, refer to

Presentation: Printer Information

The 3130 supports up to three simultaneously active attachment interfaces with
switching under microcode control. Only one IPDS host can be attached at a time.
The following are standard with every 3130:

 PC Parallel Interface

, G544-3290.

 Ethernet Interface (10BaseT, 10Base2, or 10Base5)

One optional interface slot is available for one of the following:
 Twinaxial Interface
 Token-Ring Interface
 SDLC Interface

The data streams for each attachment are:

Attachment (Protocol) Data stream

Twinaxial (Arctic) IPDS

Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) Considerations

Host system software is required for attaching to the host system and for creating
the IPDS data stream. System software is the same set of AFP programs that are
used for the AFP family of printers. The following central processing unit (CPU)
configurations support the 3130:

 AS/400

 PS/2 and PC Local Area Networks (LAN)
 RISC System/6000 LAN

 ES/4381
 308X
 ES/3090
 ES/9000
 ES/9370
 ES/9371

Connectivity to the host processors is through the following architectures:
 Twinaxial

 SDLC (SNA V.24 19.2 Kbps)
 SDLC (SNA V.35 56 Kbps)

 Token-Ring (SNA)
 Token-Ring (TCP/IP)

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 (IPDS)

The 3130 prints 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.

Token Ring Network Attachment

For details on SNA, TCP/IP, or NetWare attachment, see

3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printer: Attachment Configuration Handbook.

The 3130 connects to a host Token-Ring through the IBM Token-Ring cabling. It
uses the Auto Token-Ring LANStreamer Adapter which is installed 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

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 (IPDS)

The 3130 prints 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.

Token Ring Network Attachment

For details on SNA, TCP/IP, or NetWare attachment, see

3160, and 3935 Advanced Function Printer: Attachment Configuration Handbook.

The 3130 connects to a host Token-Ring through the IBM Token-Ring cabling. It
uses the Auto Token-Ring LANStreamer Adapter which is installed 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:
