Advanced Function Common Control Unit (AFCCU)
The Advanced Function Common Control Unit (AFCCU) is the printer controller used in IPDS production
printers. The heart of the AFCCU is a RISC System/6000 processor devoted to controlling printer functions
and interpreting the IPDS data stream, and a set of microcode that runs on this processor. The same
microcode is used across printer models, providing common IPDS functionality. However, since new
functions are continually added to IPDS, newer printer models may have functions that were not shipped
on older models. For details on IPDS functions available on AFCCU printers, see the IPDS Handbook for
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2001 1
Printers that Use the AFCCU, G544-3895. For a summary of IPDS functions available on AFCCU and
non-AFCCU printers, see Table 13 on page 14 and Table 14 on page 15. The AFCCU printers described in
this publication are:

Printer Characteristics and PSF-Supported Functions
When you prepare an application to be printed on a PSF-supported printer, you should consider certain
printer characteristics. Although the printers have many capabilities and functions in common, some
differences exist. This publication describes printer characteristics and functions that are important when
you are:
v Preparing an application for use on only one type of printer
v Deciding which printer to use for an application
v Preparing an application for use on more than one type of printer
This publication describes the differences among printers that may affect using the printer with PSF. For
more information about a specific printer or for information about other printer characteristics, refer to the
printer publications.
The printer characteristics as shown in Table 1 through Table 7 are supported similarly by PSF programs
on different operating systems. An example of a printer characteristic is the medium on which the printer
prints: continuous forms or cut-sheet. The printer hardware determines the medium, and PSF uses what is
provided.
In contrast, other PSF-supported functions can differ across operating systems and releases. For example,
current releases of the PSF licensed programs support graphics and bar codes, whereas earlier releases
do not.
Printer Characteristics
Table 1 through Table 7 on page 9 summarize some of the printer characteristics described in this
publication.
Workgroup Laser Printers

1. The 4000–IS2 printer was originally shipped with a print speed of 44 inches per second. All 4000–IS2 printers
shipped after February 17, 1998 (or with upgrades 9324 or 4260 installed) have a print speed of 46 inches per
second.
2. The IBM Infoprint 4005 Hi-Lite Color post-processor provides a high-speed, high quality, all-points-addressable
(APA) color printing system to complement the industry-leading quality and reliability the IBM Infoprint 4000 Wide
or Wide Duplex printers (240 dpi models). Visit the IBM Printing Systems Internet page at
http://www.ibm.com/printers for more information about the Infoprint 4005.
3. 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.
4. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

AFP Font Collection
The AFP Font Collection provides a comprehensive set of fonts and utility programs that enable you to
optimize font usage on Advanced Function Printing devices. The fonts provided by this product, or
transformed using its utilities, can be installed on any IBM operating system, providing consistency across
platforms and AFP printers. Resident IPDS fonts are supplied for the printers marketed by IBM Printing
Systems. The single-byte raster and outline fonts shipped with the AFP Font Collection are already marked
correctly for activating resident fonts and for capturing fonts.
A raster font is a sequence of dots that form the character. The number of dots per inch that a printer
generates is called the print resolution, or density. A resolution of 240 pels means that a printer prints 240
pels per inch both vertically and horizontally, or 57,600 pels per square inch (240 x 240). The ability to
print at a given pel density is determined by the type of printer. Because IBM fonts are provided for
specific resolutions, different fonts are available for printers with different resolutions (for example, 240–pel
and 300–pel printers).
Outline fonts describe their characters by mathematical formulas rather than by pels. These formulas are
used by rasterizing software to create bitmap characters based on two variables: resolution and point size.
This means that a single outline font can offer many print resolutions and point sizes.
The Font Collection Version 2 product numbers are: 5648-B33 (MVS, VM, and VSE) and 5648-B45 (AIX,
OS/400, and OS/2). For more information, see the Printing Systems web site at:
http://www.ibm.com/printers
Font Technologies
Resident fonts are installed in the printer and are always available. Their use can significantly decrease
the amount of data that must be sent to the printer across communication lines. A list of which resident
fonts are available on the printer can usually be obtained from the printer’s menu.
Chapter 1. Introducing IBM Printing Systems Printers 11
Downloaded fonts are sent from the print server and generally disappear after the job has finished printing.
Downloaded fonts can also be “captured” by the printer. Captured fonts automatically become new
temporary resident fonts, which improves performance on future jobs that use the same fonts. The printer
manages the captured font library, not the print server.
Font Support with PSF and Infoprint Manager: Outline, raster, SBCS and DBCS fonts are supported
by Print Services Facility and Infoprint Manager on most operating systems as download, resident, or
captured fonts. Table 9 list the font technologies supported by PSF.

Network Printer Resource Utility
The Network Printer Resource Utility (NPRU) is an application for Workgroup printers that provides a
repository (resource inventory) for fonts and overlays (macros) on a workstation with access to an IBM
printer. Once a font or overlay has been added to the NPRU inventory, it can be downloaded to temporary
or permanent RAM on the printer or to a Flash or Hard Drive option if available.
The font formats supported are PCL Intellifonts, TrueType, and PostScript Type1. Fonts and overlays that
are downloaded are available to workstation applications when the network printer drivers are selected.
NPRU is a separate program that uses the printer drivers to download.
See the Setup CD-ROM for individual Workgroup printers for information about the systems that NPRU
supports.

Data Streams
The following table shows which platforms have the ability to convert data streams from one format to
another. This allows output which otherwise would not be printable on a particular device to be converted
into a data stream that the printer understands.
Keep in mind when using data stream transforms that some loss of fidelity may occur. Also, performance
and storage considerations should be taken into account because often the transformed data stream will
consist entirely of image, which is larger than the originating file.
Note: Transforms that are functionally the same may not be identical from platform.

Attachment Modes for Supported Printers
The following tables represent the datastream capabilities by attachment type currently available for the
Printing Systems product line. These capabilities are enhanced on a regular basis, so it is recommended
that you refer to current documentation when considering new printers and attachments. Additional
servers, software products, and datastream transforms will also supplement these tables with other
connectivity options. Many printers also support drivers available under other platforms (not listed in these
tables) such as OS/2, MacOS, Solaris, SCO-UNIX, HP-UX, Novell NetWare, Netware, and Linux. Some of
the attachment modes on various platforms will require additional software. For example, driving IPDS
printers from any platform requires PSF or Infoprint Manager, and driving PCL or PostScript from OS/390
requires Infoprint Server. Please reference the IBM website at http://www.ibm.com/printers for specific
software product requirements and up-to-date attachment information.

IBM OS/400 ASCII Printer Support
Infoprint 21 is supported as an ASCII (PCL) printer via a Workstation Customization Object under the Host
Print Transform (HPT) facility of OS/400 V3.2 and higher.
HPT transforms the AFPDS or SCS data stream to ASCII for printing to AS/400 ASCII printers. ASCII
printers can be attached using emulator products with a parallel attached printer including:
v PC or PS/2 running the IBM enhanced 5250 emulation program
v PC or PS/2 running PC Support/400 or Client Access/400
v Infowindow II displays (3477/3487)
The ASCII data stream can also be sent to this printer when attached directly to a Token-Ring or Ethernet
LAN via TCP/IP. That connection can use either of the following two TCP/IP drivers:
v OS/400 SNMP printer driver.
Information APAR II03291 describes the PTFs required in V4R3 and V4R4 to use this driver. Availability
of the PTFs are 06/30/2000 for V4R3 and 07/31/2000 for V4R4.
v OS/400 TCP/IP Line Printer Requester (LPR) and Line Printer Daemon (LPD), also known as remote
output queue.
48 Printer Information
HPT support (AFP to ASCII) includes the following limitations:
v AFP graphics (GOCA) commands not supported
v Multiple-up not supported
v BGU and GDF graphics files not supported
v GDDM scalable fonts not supported
v CHRSIZE font keyword not supported
v Edge to edge not supported
v FIDELITY keyword not supported
v AFP to ASCII may need to be run in raster mode in order to produce accurate results.

1. 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.
2. 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.

Printable Area
The printable area depends on the size of the form being used. The Infoprint 3000–ES1 and –ED1/ED2
printers can print from perforation to perforation when using roll forms. However, when printing on folded
forms, the printing may be degraded in areas near a folded perforation, an internal perforation, or any cut
in the form because of the “tenting” (fold memory) of the form.
Figure 25 on page 75 shows an example of the printable area of a standard, letter-size roll form for the
Infoprint 3000. Notice that the media origin is located in different corners for wide and narrow forms.
Although the maximum printable area for narrow forms is 8.5 by 17 inches, and the maximum printable
area for wide forms is 17 by 17 inches, the examples show the printable area for letter-size forms.

Attachments
The InfoPrint 3000-ES1 and 3000-ED1/ED2 support a maximum of two attachments. These attachments
can be:
v ESCON channel
v System/370 parallel channel
v Token Ring (TCP/IP)
v Ethernet (TCP/IP)
v FDDI (TCP/IP)
The two attachments may be the same (for example, two ESCON channels), or mixed (for example, one
ESCON and one Token-Ring). The exception is that the printer can have only one TCP/IP attachment of
any flavor. You cannot have two Token-Ring attachments, for example. For a single printer (a simplex
printer, a duplex printing system, or a dual simplex printer), only one attachment can be active at a time. If
Chapter 13. Infoprint 3000–ES1 and –ED1/ED2 Printers (3300) 75
both attachments are to the same system, or to a tightly-coupled system, and the attachments are of the
same type channel (example, both are ESCON or both are parallel channel), then switching between the
two attachments can be performed dynamically by the host system. If the attachments or host differ, or the
hosts are not tightly-coupled, then the switch must be performed manually by the operator. The printer
must be disabled from the current system and attachment before it can be enabled to the other
attachment.
System/370 Parallel Channel
System/370 parallel channel attachment is supported on OS/390, PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE
printing environments.
v For S/370 parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a S/370 parallel block multiplexer
channel is required on an IBM 3090
™
or ES/9000™processor.
v The following processors are also supported for S/370 parallel channel attachments: S/390 Parallel
Enterprise Server, and the S/390 Multiprise 2000 servers.
v Attachment is also supported via the 9034 ESCON Converter Model 1.
ESCON Channel
ESCON channel is supported on OS/390, PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing environments.
v The IBM Infoprint 3000-ES1 and 3000-ED1/ED2 may be attached natively to IBM ESCON channel
(3090-J, 9021, 9121, 9221, 9672, 2003).
v Attachment is also supported via the 9032/9033 ESCON Directors and 9036 ESCON Remote Channel
Model 1 and Model 2.
The ESCON attachment may be shared between different ESCON systems or different ESCON multiple
image facility (EMIF) images, if ALL host systems connected to the printer are using the OS/390 (V1R3.0
or higher) operating system and ALL of the PSF/MVS applications in those systems have the APAR
OW29992 installed. Such OS/390 systems can be guests of VM/ESA.
When these conditions are met for ESCON then the multihost flag can be set to “TRUE” in the printer.
This will automatically invoke the protocol allowing the printer to print only one host (or OS/390 guest of
VM) at a time. When the first host is printing the second host will receive an “assigned elsewhere”
message until the first host is finished printing and releases the printer.
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) Attachment
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PS/400, PSF for AIX, and Infoprint Manager for AIX
printing environments along with selected RS/6000 and AS/400 models. The 3000-ES1 and
3000-ED1/ED2 are connected to the host Token-Ring through the IBM Token-Ring cabling via the Token
Ring High-performance adapter, which is contained in the AFCCU. The control unit can be attached to
either a 16 Mbit/sec or a 4 Mbit/sec Token-Ring LAN. The TCP/IP Token-Ring Attachment will attach to the
following devices:

1. The 4000–IS2 printer was originally shipped with a print speed of 44 inches per second. All 4000–IS2 printers
shipped after February 17, 1998 (or with upgrades 9324 or 4260 installed) have a print speed of 46 inches per
second.
2. The Infoprint 4005 Hi-Lite Color post-processor provides a high-speed, high-quality, all-points-addressable (APA)
color printing system to complement the industry-leading quality and reliability the IBM Infoprint 4000 Wide or
Wide Duplex printers (240 dpi models). Visit the IBM Printing Systems Inter page at
http://www.ibm.com/printers for more information about the Infoprint 4005.
3. 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.
4. 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.
80 Printer Information
Printable Area
The printable area depends on the size of the form being used. The Infoprint 4000–IS1 and –IS2 printers
can print from perforation to perforation when using roll forms. However, when printing on folded forms, the
printing may be degraded in areas near a folded perforation, an internal perforation, or any cut in the form
because of the “tenting” (fold memory) of the form.
Figure 27 shows examples of the printable areas of a roll form for a Infoprint 4000 IS1 and IS2 printers.
Notice that the media origin is located in different corners for wide and narrow forms. The printable area
for the narrow form is 8.5 by 11 inches. The printable area for the wide form is 11 by 8.5 inches.
