DESCRIPTION
The printer is a new member of the Proprinter family and attaches to
the IBM Personal Computers, to many compatible non-IBM personal
computers, and to several IBM display stations. The printer offers
two software or operator-selectable burst print speeds of 67-80 cps
(Letter Quality) and 200-240 cps (Draft mode). Speed is dependent on
the selected print mode and pitch. Both Draft and Letter Quality may
be enhanced by double strike printing. Graphics and text modes may
be alternately used in the same document.
The IBM Proprinter X24 offers one-button selection of quality, pitch,
font, and quiet mode. In addition the operator may use the printer
Setup mode to select emphasized, double-high, double-wide, slashed
zeroes, and reset the printer. The operator may also use the
operator panel to print the status of the setup mode controllable
options.
The IBM 4207 Proprinter X24 ribbon is a black fabric ribbon in a
"clean hands" cartridge for easy installation. The ribbon is not the
same as the ribbon used on the 9-wire Proprinters (4201 and 4202). A
modified cartridge design prevents the installation of the 9-wire
Proprinters' ribbons on the IBM Proprinter X24.
o This printer has four type families resident in the printer. Each
type family is a group of typefaces that share a basic design, but
vary in boldness and type size. Over 50 resident typefaces are
available.
o FontSet option that will allow user selected optional typefaces to
be placed in non-volatile memory.
The IBM Proprinter X24 allows the user to choose among manually-fed
cut sheets, continuous forms, or using the sheetfeed,
automatically-fed cut sheets. Continuous forms must be removed, when
the sheetfeed is in use.
The printer attaches to the IBM Personal Computer via an IBM PC
Printer attach cable. Attachment to other than the IBM Personal
Computer may require a different cable.
A sheetfeed is offered for the printer. This option permits
convenient, automatic loading of cut sheets or letterhead with no
additional software.
An optional FontSet is available.
This option will contain customer setup hardware, diskettes and a
Guide to Operations for downloading up to 11 additional type
families. Each downloaded type family can be modified at the
operator panel to print in several type faces. Also, this option
allows the Printer to retain the downloaded font and operator panel
settings in memory even when the printer has been turned off. This
option will be offered as follows:
1. P/N 94X6120: FontSet Option (Diskettes, module, manual, module
removal tool)
2. P/N 94X6121: FontSet diskettes, manual

The IBM Proprinter X24 can be attached to an IBM 3708 Network
Conversion Unit. The optional serial interface module must also be
ordered for the IBM Proprinter X24. The IBM 3708 Network Conversion
Unit provides IBM 3270 protocol conversion and protocol enveloping
for attaching the IBM Proprinter X24, other Proprinters, and ASCII
displays. Using the IBM Proprinter X24 in this configuration
provides a very effective low-cost solution to access IBM 3270 host
application. IBM Proprinter X24's attached to the IBM 3708 Network
Conversion Unit are supported as an IBM 3287 Model 1 or 2. Printers
are supported as an LU1 (SCS model) and/or LU3 (DSC model).
The PC/Host File Transfer and Terminal Emulator Program (6476052)
5875-MMA, 3708 feature code 0914 can be used with an IBM Personal
Computer with the IBM 4207 Proprinter X24 and attached to an IBM 3708
Network Conversion Unit.
Specified Operating Environment
Hardware Requirements: The IBM PC Parallel Printer Cable (P/N
1525612) is required for the IBM Proprinter X24 and must be ordered
separately. If serial connection is required, the Asynchronous
serial attach module (P/N 6493187) and the Serial attach cable (P/N
8509386) are required.
Software Requirements: The IBM Proprinter X24 has been designed to
be compatible with the IBM Proprinter and the IBM Proprinter XL. In
general, software applications which operate with these previously
announced printers, will also operate with the IBM Proprinter X24.
However, applications may not take advantage of all the new
capabilities such as resident type families, high-resolution graphics
or the sheetfeed. The printer will emulate the Epson LQ-800 for high
resolution graphics; Most existing software that supports Epson
24-wire printing will work with the IBM Proprinter X24. For specific
information regarding software compatibility refer to the current
Printer Software Compatibility Guide.
Differences from the Proprinter include the following:
o The IBM 4207 Proprinter X24 supports a unique download font data
stream with letter quality resolution into a non-volatile plugable
module. As a consequence, the IBM 4207 Proprinter X24 data stream
for download is different than that of the Proprinter.
o The IBM 4207 Proprinter X24 font and print quality select command
offers additional font selection and print quality modes above
that of the Proprinter. The parameter values used in this command
are different between the two printers. See the IBM 4207
Proprinter X24 Guide to Operations for details.
The above list of differences in not exhaustive.
Compatibility: All commands supported by the IBM Proprinter and
Proprinter XL are available on the IBM Proprinter X24. The IBM
Proprinter X24 offers a number of enhancements to the IBM Proprinter.
- Letter quality printing
- 24 Wire graphics support
- Quieter when printing
- Additional type font styles & pitches
- Additional paper handling capability
- User indication of current pitch
- User indication of quiet mode
NON-IBM HOST COMPATIBILITY: The IBM Proprinter X24 attaches to the
following non-IBM PCs via the parallel interface as indicated and the
appropriate attachment cable (customer purchase and set-up).

DESCRIPTION
The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer is a new member of the resistive
ribbon family and attaches to the IBM Personal Computers and to
non-IBM Personal Computers compatible with the IBM Personal Computer
Parallel Interface. The Printer offers three software or operator
selectable burst print speeds of 80-136 cps (enhanced mode), 100-171
cps (quality mode), and 160-274 cps (draft mode) depending upon which
print mode and pitch is selected. The quality mode provides engraved
letter quality printing for external correspondence and whenever high
quality printing is required. The enhanced mode is used to maintain
high quality printing under special conditions such as low humidity
or with textured papers. The high speed draft mode provides near
letter quality printing and faster speeds for internal correspondence
and utility applications. There are four fonts of various pitches
embedded in the printer (Courier 10, 12, 17.1 and Boldface PS). To
supplement this choice of type styles, there are optional IBM
ELECTRONIC Font III cartridges and Download Font Features available.
APA graphics support will enable the IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer to
print graphics output from the IBM Personal Computer. It will
support the graphics commands that currently operate the IBM
PROPRINTER and will operate with the addressability of the Proprinter
(72X60, 72X120, 72X240 dots per inch vertical by horizontal). In
addition, the three new addressing modes of the IBM QUIETWRITER
Printer Model 2 (60X60, 120X120, 240X240) will be provided to allow
high resolution printer graphics. Graphics and text modes may be
alternately used in the same document.
The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer supports 8 languages in the base
machine. These languages are English, French, Italian, Spanish,
Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, and German.
Printer Options and Features
The Printer attaches to the IBM Personal Computer via the IBM PC
Printer parallel attach cable. Attachment to other than the IBM
Personal Computer may require a different cable.
Three optional customer set-up paper handling features are offered
for the printer. These options are:
o A Dual Drawer Sheetfeed with an optional Envelope feature.
o The IBM QUIETWRITER Printer Single Drawer Sheetfeed*
o A continuous forms feed.
* The Single Drawer Sheetfeed Adapter Kit is required to use this
option with the 5202.

Hardware Requirements: The IBM PC Printer Attach Cable (P/N 1525612)
is required for the IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer and must be ordered
separately.
Software Requirements: The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer has been
designed to be compatible with the IBM QUIETWRITER Printer Model 2,
and the IBM Proprinter. In general, software applications which
operate with these previously announced printers, will also operate
with the IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer. However, some applications may
not take advantage of all the new capabilities such as 8 on-line
fonts, the Font Download Features, or the Dual Drawer Sheetfeed.
Also this new printer will handle some commands and operations
differently than the previous mentioned printers. Some of these
differences are outlined below. For specific information regarding
software compatibility refer to the Printer Software Compatibility
Guide (Form No. G360-2652-00).
Differences from the Proprinter include the following:
1. The 5202 supports a parallel interface. An internal serial
interface option is not provided.
2. The 5202 does not support the overscore or double high character
print. Characters will be printed but with no overscore and at
normal height, respectively.
3. The 5202 supports a unique download font data stream with letter
quality resolution into a non-volatile pluggable cartridge. As a
consequence, the 5202 data stream for download is different than
that of the Proprinter.
4. The 5202 font and print quality select command offers additional
font selection and print quality modes above that of the
Proprinter. The parameter values used in this command are
different between the two printers. See the 5202 Guide to
Operations for details.
Differences from the QUIETWRITER 2 include the following:
1. The 5202 supports the compress print command by switching to 17
pitch if the font emulation switch is off. If the font emulation
switch is on, the command is ignored. This differs from the IBM
QUIETWRITER Model 2, which switches to a 13.2 inch writing line
with no pitch change.
2. The 5202 supports the 10 pitch print command by switching to 10
pitch if the font emulation switch is off. If the font emulation
switch is on, the command is ignored. This differs from the IBM
QUIETWRITER Model 2, which switches to an 8 inch writing line with
no pitch change.
3. The 5202 can switch between two font sets--one internal and one
external, thereby simulating the IBM QUIETWRITER Printer Model 1
and 2 font slot "A" and "*", respectively. See the 5202 Guide to
Operations for details.
4. The font cartridges used by the two printers are different and not
interchangeable.
The above list of differences is not exhaustive. Reference should be
made to the Printer Software Compatibility Guide for detail regarding
support of specific software packages.
DisplayWrite 3 and 4 Considerations
It is recommended that customers owning Displaywrite 3 purchase the
upgrade to Displaywrite 4 in order to facilitate use of the new
capabilities of the 5202. Refer to the Program Availability letter
dated October 21, 1986, number 286-491 for ordering details. This
upgrade is offered for a limited time and will end on July 31, 1987.
The following is a brief description of the limitations which
exist when using DisplayWrite 3 and DisplayWrite 4 with the IBM
QUIETWRITER III Printer. For additional detail on these
limitations see the documentation provided with the Printer Driver
Tables on the Printer Support Diskette included in the IBM
Personal Printers Marketing Reference Guide.
DisplayWrite 3 may be set up to operate with the IBM QUIETWRITER
III Printers as a Class E or a Class F printer. Class E is the
class used with the QUIETWRITER Printer Model 2.
DisplayWrite 3 Version 1.1 Class E Limitations
o Selection of print quality (draft, quality, enhanced) via control
panel only
o Drawer selection for two drawer sheetfeed and/or envelope option
is manual only
o Font switching is limited to changing from an internal font to the
font in the corresponding position of the external cartridge.
(Ex. Courier 12 internal to Prestige 12 external).
DisplayWrite 3 Version 1.1 Class F Limitations
o Symbol fonts are not supported.
o Margins slightly off when changing pitch from 10, 12 or PSM to 15,
17.1 or double wide on any pitch.
DisplayWrite 4 Limitations
The following is a brief description of the limitations which exist
when using DisplayWrite 4 with the IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer.
o Print quality selection for more than two print modes (draft,
quality, enhanced) requires accessing an alternate DisplayWrite 4
profile.
o Switching fonts between external cartridges requires setting up a
User-Defined Control to establish a printer stop code that would
be used prior to each font switch between external cartridges.
Diskettes containing the DisplayWrite Printer Tables and the
detailed information on the limitations (with suggested
workarounds) will be included in the IBM Personal Printers
Marketing Reference Guide. In addition, the National Support
Center will stock the diskettes in limited quantities to supply
them to dealers who need a replacement because of a lost or
damaged diskette.
Compatibility: All commands supported by the IBM QUIETWRITER
Printers Model 2 are available on the IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer.
The new IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer offers a number of enhancements
to the IBM QUIETWRITER Printer.
- Higher print speeds
- Quieter when printing
- Additional Paper Handling Capability
- Envelope Feed
- 17.1 CPI printing
- Additional Font Capabilities
- Emphasized printing
- Double-strike printing
- Additional national language support
IBM PRINTER COMPATIBILITY WITH NON-IBM COMPUTER SYSTEMS
The compatibility information presented below is intended to give
general guidelines for the attachment of IBM printer to selected
non-IBM computer systems.
The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer implements IBM's version of the
parallel interface. IBM has performed limited tests of the IBM
QUIETWRITER III Printer and the non-IBM computer systems using the
appropriate cables and DOS print facilities. There were no problems
noted attributable to the interface differences.
The only way to insure satisfactory results is for the end user to
test the specific printer, computer and software combination against
desired results.
IBM MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPATIBILITY
OF IBM PRINTERS AND NON-IBM COMPUTERS.

Prerequisites: An adapter kit (P/N 1318362) must be ordered and
installed on the QUIETWRITER III Printer in order to use the Single
Drawer Sheetfeed Option (P/N 6373100).
Limitations
1. See DisplayWrite 3 and 4 considerations in Software Requirements
section.
2. Automatic Sheetfeeds:
Optimum feeding results with automatic sheetfeeds will be obtained
when using 20-24 lb. (75-90 gm/sq. metre) paper. Some 16 lb. (60
gm/sq. metre) paper may be used with satisfactory results. Users
must test 16 lb. (60 gm/sq. metre) paper in their particular
environment to assure satisfactory operating results.
3. Paper Recommendations
The 5202 prints with a non-impact printing process which works
best on smooth papers with a maximum roughness of 300 Sheffield
points (less the 9 BEKK second). Most 16-20 pound (60-75 GM/SQ.
metre) xerographic papers meet this requirement. Enhanced mode is
recommended for envelopes and textured papers.
The IBM QUIET(R) III High Yield Printer Ribbon is sensitive to
humidity and prints darker in high humidity and lighter in low
humidity for a fixed setting of the print control. It therefore
may be necessary to move the print control to a lower setting when
the indoor humidity is high, and to a higher setting when the
humidity is low. The ribbon is less sensitive to temperature
variations.
Listed below are only a few of many recommended papers:
ARDOR XEROCOPY (Trademark of Nekoosa Papers Inc.)
CHAMPION BOND (Trademark of Champion International
Corporation)
HAMMERMILL FORE XEROCOPY (Trademark of Hammermill Papers
Group)
IBM MULTI-SYSTEM PAPER
MEAD INFO XEROGRAPHIC
NEKOOSA BOND (Trademark of Nekoosa Papers Inc.)
SPRINGHILL BUSINESS PAPER (Trademark of International Paper
Co.)
4. Transparencies
The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer may be used to print directly on
transparencies. Print quality and durability depend on the
transparency used. Therefore, transparencies should be tested for
acceptability.
Below are several considerations for printing on transparencies.
o Transparencies produced for use with infrared copiers generally
give acceptable results when printing is done on the front or
non-infrared side. In general the front of the transparency is
identified by placing the "notch" in the transparency in the
upper right-hand corner or as recommended by the individual
manufacturer.
o A sheet of xerographic paper should be loaded behind each
transparency.
o Use the Quality print mode.
o Information printed on the transparency is not indelible.
Listed below are three transparencies which have been tested and
accepted with the printer. However, since changes in the design
or manufacture of these transparencies by the manufacturer cannot
be anticipated by IBM, these transparencies should be tested for
acceptable results with your application.
o 3M, Scotch(TM) 7100, Transparency Film for Infrared Copiers,
D.C./Part No. 021200-16819
o 3M, 1301, Transparency Film for Overhead Projection, Infrared
Transparency Film, Reorder Number 78-6969-5495-3
o Labelon Corporation, TR-45, Projection Transparencies-Infrared,
Order No. TR-45C.
Scotch 7100 is a trademark of 3M
5. Usage Considerations -- Expected average annual usage is 6 million
characters. Care should be exercised in placing the printer in
usage environments exceeding 12 million characters a year due to
supply cost considerations.
6. Minimum dot density is 2x2 when in 240 x 240 dots per inch APA
graphics mode.
Cable Orders: A PC Printer Attach Cable (P/N 1525612) must be
ordered separately to attach the QUIETWRITER III Printer to the
parallel interface of the Personal Computer.
Packaging: The IBM QUIETWRITER III Printer comes with a ribbon, a
printhead, a dust shield, a Guide to Operation Manual and a power
cord.
