IBM 4247 Model V03 Printer Offers Durability and Fast Draft Print Speed for Demanding Applications



Overview

A Fast and Reliable Printer for Harsh Conditions

The IBM 4247 Model V03 is a professional industrial impact matrix printer capable of printing at speeds of up to 1,100 characters per second (cps) in Fast Draft mode.

The Model V03 is a rugged printer with metal covers, and is designed for harsh environments and demanding applications. It is compatible with previous IBM 4247 models and offers user-installable interface cards.

The Model V03 can have either one or two straight continuous-forms paper paths for outstanding paper-feeding reliability. One paper path is standard, and the second path is an optional feature.

The printer features quiet operation, a full-size operator panel similar to today′s Model 003, and a workload of up to 64,000 pages per month. Print-quality choices are Fast Draft mode, Data Processing mode (DP), DP Text mode (DP Text), and Near Letter Quality mode (NLQ). V ersatile paper-handling capability provides printing on up to 8-part forms.

Typical applications include transaction processing for invoices, office or internal business documents, as well as barcodes, labels, and multipart forms.

Support for a Range of Connectivity Options and Hardware Environments

A parallel port for simplified host attachment capability is standard. Optional attachments include:

• Ethernet local area network (LAN) attachment through the internal 10/100BASE-T Ethernet adapter or through Network Print Servers for 10BASE2 Ethernet

• Coax and twinax SNA Character Set (SCS)

• Coax and twinax Intelligent Printer Data Stream

• Token-Ring Types 1 and 3 through Network Print Servers

• Ethernet IPDS LAN attachment with the I-Data RPQ 8B4314

• Token-Ring IPDS LAN attachment with the I-Data RPQ 8B4313

• Serial port for RS-232 or RS-422 attachment

Environments supported by the 4247-V03 include IBM zSeries IBM AS/400 and S/390 IBM-compatible PCs, non-IBM systems that support ASCII serial and parallel interfaces, and LANs.

Description

The IBM 4247 Model V03 Printer builds on the strengths of previous models of the IBM 4247 family while providing a new Fast Draft mode with a faster print speed.

Operator Panel

The 4247-V03 includes the same full-function, full-size operator panel as today′s Model 003. I t includes a 2 line by 40 character display, making messages and menus easy to understand.

Print Speed

Print speeds (in characters per second) of the 4247-V03 are up to:

• 1,100 cps at 10 characters per inch (cpi) in Fast Draft mode

• 800 cps in DP mode

• 480 cps in DP Text mode

• 240 cps in NLQ mode

The print speeds in lines per minute are up to:

• 500 lines per minute at 40 characters per line

• 300 lines per minute at 132 characters per line

Heavy-Duty, Reliable Printing

The 4247-V03 is a professional industrial heavy-duty printer with metal covers and a workload capacity of up to 64,000 pages per month. The 18-wire print head provides reliable printing on up to 8-part forms in DP, DP Text, and NLQ print modes.

Flexible Forms Handling

The IBM 4247 Printer provides exceptional forms-handling flexibility. The base printer includes one continuous-forms tractor path, and a second continuous-forms front tractor paper path is optional. No rear tractor path is available.

This dual front paper path capability can translate into a single printer performing work that formerly required two or mor e printers. Users can load different forms into each tractor path and then enable the path that corresponds to the desired print job.

Print Quality Comparison

Printer Data-Stream Emulations

Emulation modes to easily replace many older printers include:

• ASCII emulation for the IBM Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381 Personal Printer, and Epson FX printers

• Coax emulations for the IBM 3268, IBM 3287, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230

• Twinax emulations for the IBM 4214, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230

In addition, native IBM 4247 mode is selectable with each attachment.

Parallel Attachment

The IBM 4247 Model V03 base printer includes a parallel port as standard. For the parallel port:

• Printers emulated are Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381 Personal Printer, and Epson FX80

• Data streams supported are PPDS and Epson FX.

Optional Twinax and Coax SCS Attachment

Features

The optional Coax SCS Attachment:

• Emulates the IBM 3268/3287, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230 as well as providing native support for the IBM 4247

• Supports 3270/DSC/DSE and SCS data streams

The optional Twinax SCS Attachment:

• Emulates the IBM 4214 and IBM 4230

• Supports the PDS data stream

Each attachment also supports native IBM 4247 mode.

Fast Draft is a new print quality for the IBM 4247 that is available only on the Model V03. The Data Processing (DP), Data Processing Text (DP Text), Near Letter Quality (NLQ), OCR-A, and OCR-B print qualities on the 4247-V03 are equivalent in character size, shape, and resolution to the print qualities available on the 4247 Model A00, 001, 002, and 003 printers.

The following table summarizes the print quality for Fast Draft, DP, DP Text, and NLQ.

Optional Twinax and Coax IPDS Attachment

Features

With the Coax IPDS Attachment (#4240, #4242) and Twinax IPDS Attachment (#4220, #4222), the 4247-V03 can be driven by Advanced Function Presentation applications supported by Print Services Facility and GDDM

 .

 (AFP)

 (PSF)

Optional Ethernet LAN Attachment Capability

Direct LAN attachment to Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LANs is provided via the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LAN Attachment features (#4260, #4262).

The Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LAN Attachment features use both the parallel port and the optional attachment port of the printer. Therefore, when using these attachments, the 4247-V03 supports only Ethernet 10/100BASE-T. IPDS support is not provided by these Ethernet LAN features. For IPDS Ethernet, the Ethernet IPDS RPQ 8B4314 must be used.

Optional Network Print Server and IPDS LAN

Attachment Capability

Other LAN attachment capability is available via:

• The Network Print Server features (#4121, #4124,

#4164, #4165) provide network attachment via the parallel port for Token-Ring and Ethernet. The Network Print Servers plug into the printer parallel port.

• The I-Data 7913 (RPQ numbers 8B4313 and 8B4314)

provides either Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN attachment for IPDS data for twinax and coax printers.

RPQ 8B4313 provides either 4 or 16 MBps Token-Ring IPDS support. RPQ 8B4314 provides Ethernet IPDS support.

The Network Print Server features plug into the parallel port of the printer to provide support for the following environments:

− Novell NetWare

− IBM LAN Server

− AIX

− Other TCP/IP networks

The Network Print Server and the above RPQs provide the capability for both LAN support and twinax, coax, or serial support on the same IBM 4247 Printer.

While a Network Print Server and one of the I-Data 7913 RPQs (either RPQ 8B4313 or 8B4314) can both be installed on the same 4247-V03, only one of either the Network Print Server or the I-Data 7913 RPQ network attachments can be active at any time. Manual network switching between the ASCII (Network Print Server) and IPDS (I-Data RPQ) is required to switch between the attachments.

Existing IBM 4247 Model A00, 001, 002, and 003

RPQs

No existing IBM 4247 RPQ presently available for the IBM 4247 Models A00, 001, 002, and 003 (except 8B4313 and 8B4314 described above) is presently available for the Model V03. Submit RPQ requests if an RPQ is needed.

Replacement, Addition, and Installation of

Attachment Cards for Installed Printers

“Any Attachment” is Twinax IPDS, Twinax SCS, Coax SCS, Coax IPDS, Serial, or Ethernet LAN, and includes “no attachment,” which is the standard parallel adapter.

Bulk Order for Optional Features

For most products, the quantity of any feature that can be ordered is the same as the maximum number of the feature allowed per machine. Since the IBM 4247-V03 features are all customer-installable, in some cases it is desirable to bulk order certain features so that machines can be easily reconfigured by Business Partners and end users. Thus, for 4247-V03 MES features, the maximum order quantity is normally 10, which is greater than the maximum that can be installed on one printer.

The maximum number of initial-order attachment features that can be ordered is one. Use the MES feature numbers for bulk orders.

IBM 4247-V03 Delivery Dates

It is expected that the demand for the Model V03 will exceed the available supply during fourth quarter 2002. Orders will be fulfilled sequentially based on order date.

Product Positioning

The IBM 4247-V03 is a professional industrial printer that offers a faster print speed and a more rugged design than the current IBM 4247 models of serial matrix printers.
