═══ 1. 8250 IBM MULTIPROTOCOL INTELLIGENT HUB ETHERNET BRIDGE MODULE ═══ The Ethernet bridge module is a 2-slot module that integrates a high-performance 2-port bridge, and implements the "port switching" feature. The bridge module can be switched between any two of the three Ethernet segments, or between any Ethernet segment and an external Ethernet network (via an AUI port) without having to swap cables. It offers protocol-type filtering and supports the Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol (IEEE 802.1) for bridge redundancy and loop detection; a back-up bridge with automatic takeover can be installed for added protection against failures. ═══ 2. 8250 IBM MULTIPROTOCOL INTELLIGENT HUB ═══ The IBM 8250 is a family of intelligent hub products with modular hardware composed of a rack-mountable chassis plus a set of feature modules that provide primarily the functions of: o LAN concentration (Ethernet, Token-Ring, and fiber distributed data interface (FDDI)) o LAN and media management o Hub management o Bridging interconnection HIGHLIGHTS o The 8250 provides wiring concentration for multiple Local Area Network (LAN) types and reduces the cost of ownership by providing tools for easy changes and quick fault isolation. o The 8250 protects investment in existing LANs through its standard LAN interfaces and the support of multiple cables and connector types. o The 8250 provides a comprehensive set of management functions for managing the hub as well as the attached LANs. o Expansion of LANs can be achieved through gradual insertion of concentration modules or segmentation of the LAN. o The 8250 increases user productivity by reducing down time and the time needed to reconfigure a user workstation on the network. o The 8250 contains an SNMP agent which allows it to be managed using the fault, performance and configuration tools of AIX* NetView*/ 6000's NetView Hub Management/6000 Product. o The 8250 "Automatic Update Service" subscription is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure that the feature modules are up-to- date with the latest versions of code. Subscriptions on module and site basis are available to accommodate the size of the network, and simplify network administration. The 8250 is a multiprotocol intelligent hub with modular hardware composed of a rack-mountable chassis plus a set of feature modules that provide primarily the functions of: LAN concentration The 8250 supports concentration for Ethernet, Token-Ring, and FDDI networks, with multiple cable types (shielded twisted pair (STP), unshielded twisted pair (UTP), fiber, coaxial) and multiple choices of cable connectors. Multiple LAN types as well as multiple segments for a single type can coexist in the same chassis. Hub management Extensive hub management functions are provided either from a terminal connected to an RS-232 port or from an SNMP management station such as AIX NetView/6000. LAN and media management The 8250 provides functions for managing the media of LAN segments (Ethernet, Token-Ring, FDDI), by collecting management information (performance, statistics, configuration, problems) and reporting it to a network management station via SNMP or TELNET protocols. Interconnect The 8250 offers integrated bridging functions for Ethernet segments and network. SNMP management The 8250 contains an SNMP agent which includes enterprise specific extensions designed to take advantage of the advanced features of the 8250. With front-loading slots, the 8250 Model 017 and Model 6HC accommodate the same set of feature modules and accessories. The Model 017 presents 17 slots, and is well suited for locations with a high density of users. The Model 006 is a down-sized version with six slots, provides the same advanced functions as the larger model, and is ideal for the workgroup and small department connectivity. The backplane architecture of the 8250 allows the "hot-pluggability" of any 8250 module, which means a module can be installed or removed without powering down the concentrator or taking the network out of service. Moreover, the special architecture of the backplane makes any module "full-floating," which means that no fixed position in the chassis is required according to the type of the module. This 8250 backplane is also used as the bussing system for connecting the various modules. It supports any combinations of Ethernet, Token-Ring, and FDDI segments, with up to three Ethernet segments, up to seven Token-Ring segments, and up to four FDDI rings. Modules for a given LAN type can be assigned without restriction to any of the corresponding segments, with no fixed positions of blades for given LAN segments. Modules with a "port switching" feature offer additional flexibility with the ability to assign individual ports on a module to the various segments of same LAN type, hence the terminology of "port switching" and "module switching" features. Fault tolerance is offered as an option, and can be achieved through redundancy of critical components, such as the Power Supply and the Hub Controller Module, which monitors the concentrator conditions, including temperature and power supply status. Redundant links with automatic switchover at the backbone and, for the Ethernet case, at the lobe level, ensure fault tolerance to the end station. The 8250 Model 6PS is a new 8250 chassis model with 6 front-loading slots and an Integrated Server that has 5 front-loading slots for Type-3 server adapters. Model 6PS supports multi-protocol media concentration and management (Token Ring, Ethernet and FDDI), and features the same set of modules and characteristics as other 8250 models. The Integrated Server is a hot-pluggable drawer based on an IBM PS/2. The Integrated Server is a hot-pluggable drawer based on an IBM PS/2, with the following characteristics: o Micro Channel system bus, for 8/16-bit operations o A 50/25 Mhz IBM 486SLC2 microprocessor o An internal memory cache controller with 16KB memory cache o It has 8MB of Random Access Memory (RAM) as a base, and can be expanded up to 16MB. o Integrated system board diskette controller o XGA-2 graphics chip set (high resolution 1024x768) (Supports interlaced and Non-Interlaced IBM displays) o Enhanced security o TOD clock o Standard Device External Ports/Connectors: - Enhanced Graphics Array (XGA-2) (Supports Interlaced and Non-Interlaced IBM displays) - Keyboard - Two 9 pin Serial/asynchronous port (FIFO and DMA serial support) - Parallel port (DMA parallel port) - Mouse connector o 8MBytes of 70ns memory, expandable to 16Mbytes o One 2.88MB 3.5" diskette drive with media sense o One 212MB hard disk drive (can be replaced by a 400MB disk) o 5-slots for MicroChannel adapters with Type-3 form factor and 8/16-bit data transfer. The Integrated Server DRAM can be upgraded up to 16MB with the: o IBM PS/2 2MB Memory Module kit-70ns o IBM PS/2 4MB Memory Module kit-70ns o IBM PS/2 8MB Memory Module kit-70ns The Integrated Server drawer has a 'Reset' pushbutton, when depressed it resets the server, starts execution of diagnostics and enters the IML phase for the server. It has no impact on the media concentration portion of the hub. Model 6PS has a controller board that is hidden in the backplane. All 8250 feature modules can used on this model: like 6-slot models, modules are inserted horizontally. Model 6PS makes use of a 325W power supply (same one as of as Model 017). A back up power supply can be installed for added redundancy. Management modules (xMM) play an important role in the 8250, in terms of media and hub management. There are three types: 1. Ethernet management modules (basic and advanced) 2. Token-Ring management module (basic) 3. FDDI management module Each xMM has a double role: o It controls the various 8250 modules in terms of configuration, operations, and fault. This function is independent from the LAN type of the module (for example, an Ethernet management module can be used to control a Token-Ring media module). It also supports the SNMP agent for hub management. When multiple xMMs are present on the same hub, only one is selected as master, with the responsibility of communication with the SNMP monitor. If the master fails, automatically another xMM takes over as the new master. o The second role is LAN dependent, and aims at collecting LAN statistics, errors, and configuration changes. For instance, if Token-Ring management is needed, a Token-Ring management module should be installed. If the multiple segments need to be monitored simultaneously, multiple xMMs are required; however, every xMM can be re-assigned to another segment via software commands. The Token-Ring and FDDI management modules implement the TCP/IP TELNET protocol, allowing access from a remote TCP/IP station to the functions of the xMM. All xMMs are accessible from an ASCII terminal directly connected to the RS-232 port that is present on each xMM. This port also accepts a modem connection for remote dial-in management of the concentrator. An xMM requires an initial set-up of base parameters such as IP address and SNMP parameters; this is done from an ASCII terminal connected to the RS-232 port. Each xMM incorporates electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). EEPROM allows the saving, on operator request, of the concentrator configuration, and hence provides protection against power failures. Also, program updates can be done via file transfer throughout the network (excepting the basic version of the Ethernet management module), or downloaded from a personal computer via the RS-232 port. Multiple options are possible for operating and managing the 8250: o Management from a network management station that supports SNMP protocols and the 8250 SNMP-compliant MIB extensions. This is suited to medium and large installations with remote permanent monitoring. When the management station is based on AIX NetView/ 6000, the IBM AIX NetView Hub Management Program/6000 can be added for enhanced user interface and increased functions. o From an ASCII terminal that is directly connected to the RS-232 port on an xMM, with a character-based, command-line interface. This is an inexpensive solution well suited for a workgroup installation. o Remote login via TELNET session from a TCP/IP station in the case of a Token-Ring or a FDDI management module. Management traffic flows via the network. This is ideal for small and medium installations with remote occasional monitoring. When no xMM is installed, the 8250 can run as an "unmanaged" concentrator; configurations such as segment assignment are done through dual in-line package (DIP) switches present on each module. The IBM 8250 is a multi-LAN technology concentrator. This allows a customer to wire his or her building or floor without dedicating the cables, the connectors, or the concentration equipment to a single LAN technology. As a consequence, the LAN can be adapted to meet the business requirements for LAN applications on heterogeneous LANs. Because of its redundant capabilities, the 8250 can be used to build LAN networks with applications that require maximum uptime. Once a LAN is installed, a continued cost is associated with its maintenance and operation. The business requirement is to reduce cost of ownership by requiring fewer skills and personnel to perform the daily operations. The 8250 addresses this requirements. With its support of the three major LAN types (Ethernet, Token-Ring, FDDI), the 8250 can be installed today without requiring a change to LAN adapters or applications, and can be used to extend existing LANs. The support of multiple cable and connector types ensures protection of the customer's investment in already installed cable. The 8250 is fully compatible with major LAN standards (802.x, SNMP) and request for change. This ensures compatibility with existing equipment from other vendors. System management is a key feature of the 8250. A comprehensive set of management functions is proposed for managing the hub, as well as the attached LANs. The 8250 is a very flexible product. Beside the default settings, the network operator can always reconfigure the components according to network changes; also, the operational status of components is permanently available to the operator. As for media management, the network operator can collect LAN configuration data, to understand who is connecting to the network, or can collect LAN statistics to monitor the load or throughput efficiency of the network. A hub management program is made available on AIX NetView/6000, the IBM management platform for SNMP LAN equipment, to enable the network operator to manage both router and LAN networks from a single management station. The strength of star-wired LAN topology can be used to simplify the management of distributed LAN systems. In this structure, multiple hubs can be tied back to a central hub, which works in conjunction with a multiport bridge/router to provide inter-LAN connectivity. The IBM 8250 working with the IBM 6611 can form the basis for such a configuration, and from an NetView/6000 management station, can simplify a customers system management task. The 8250 is a very modular product. When the network is small, only a small number of concentration modules is needed; as the network grows, more concentration modules can be added to extend the network, without disruption of the already installed modules. Also, if a user starts with a 6-slot model, and because of growth reaches the chassis limit, he or she can use the larger model (17-slot) and reuse the same modules. Moreover, if the LAN size becomes important, and the down time becomes critical, redundant features can be added to increase network reliability. Two dimensions to network growth are the number of LAN users and the network traffic. At one breakpoint, the solution for the network owner is to segment the LAN into multiple LAN segments. With the 8250, no new concentrator is required, because multiple segment support is built in. The 8250 can also be used to move from a lower-speed LAN to a higher-speed LAN of same technology (for example, 4 to 16Mbit Token-Ring), or to move from lower-bandwidth (Token-Ring, Ethernet) to higher-bandwidth (FDDI) LANs, to satisfy the needs of new applications. End user productivity is directly tied to the time during which the LAN is running. The 8250, being an essential piece in the LAN with redundant capabilities and modular architecture without a single point of failure, reduces down time significantly. End user productivity is also impacted by the network response time. Therefore, good monitoring of network behavior and load can predict future bottlenecks, and appropriate actions can be taken ahead to maintain the right level of response time. Productivity is also measured by the time required to reassign a workstation to a network, or to reconfigure an entire network. With remote configurations, less trips to the wiring cabinet are needed, and most of the error-prone manual interventions are avoided. MODELS Model 6HC: 6-Slot Hub Chassis with hidden controller.

The 12-port modules with the 50-pin TELCO-type connector are a high-density means to link without "tangles" to 12 10BaseT-compliant ports. Both "module switching" and "port switching" versions are proposed. The 8-port 10BaseT module provides eight connections through the face plate of the module; it supports also both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cabling. 10BaseT transceivers are proposed as accessories. The Fault-Tolerant 10BaseT transceiver offer dual connections for added protection from cable or network failures. 24-port 10BaseT module The 24-port 10BaseT module (#3829) is a 1-slot feature module that can connect up to 24 10BaseT compliant ports, using unshielded twisted pair cabling. It is equipped with Two Telco-type connectors to avoid cable intermingling. The 24-port module helps in creating a high density Ethernet network in a minimum amount of space. Up to 360 and 120 users can be connected on model 017 and models 6HC/06S respectively, with full management (384 and 144 users without management for model 017 and models 6HC/06S respectively), providing higher port density at a lower cost per port. The 24-port module implements bank switching technology, so each Telco connector, supporting 12 ports, is assignable to one of the three Ethernet segments on the 8250 backplane; this can be done with software local or remote commands. The 24-port module complies with the IEEE 802.3 10BaseT standard for superior cable distances on unshielded twisted pair. The module is full-floating and hot pluggable likewise other 8250 modules. 10BaseFB and Fiber modules The Ethernet 10BaseFB and Fiber modules are a cost-effective alternative for businesses planning to move to fiber-based and higher-speed networks (for example, FDDI), but needing backbone redundancy now. The 10BaseFB and Fiber modules have dual link capabilities, with automatic switchover. This allows the construction of Ethernet backbones with dual links, and therefore provides protection against cable of another hub failure. "Dual homing" for Ethernet stations can be achieved with the aid of the fault-tolerant 10BaseF and Fiber transceivers; this is well suited for connecting either bridge/routers or servers running critical applications. Both "port switching" and "module switching" models are proposed, as well as multiple choices of fiber connectors. The 10BaseFB modules implement the current IEEE/ANSI 10Base-FB standard for running fiber backbones, and supersede the fiber modules that implement a draft version of the 10BaseFB standard. This "repeaterless" technology provides the ultimate in configuration flexibility since it is not constrained by the 4-repeater rule. FOIRL modules The FOIRL modules offer an FOIRL-based fiber Ethernet connection. Like fiber modules, the FOIRL modules incorporate hardware base switchover logic between any two ports on the module, allowing the building of an Ethernet backbone with dual links and automatic switchover. Repeater and transceiver modules The repeater and transceiver modules provide attachment unit interface (AUI) connections to the 8250: - The 2-port repeater module connects the 8250 via an external transceiver to an Ethernet segment such as thick coaxial cable of up to 500 meters. - The 3-port transceiver module attaches the 8250 to bridges, routers, repeaters, and stations, providing a simple connection to other Ethernet equipment on your network. Both modules implement the "port switching" capability. They can even be isolated from the three Ethernet segments from a remote console, for example during troubleshooting. BNC module The BNC module provides six connections to thin-wire Ethernet segments. It is fully compliant with the IEEE's 10Base2 standard. All segments can be terminated either internally or externally. The BNC module partitions a bad segment automatically, and then reconnects it when the problem is solved. The BNC module can also be isolated from the main network, for example for testing purposes, from a remote console. Terminal server module The terminal server module is a single slot multi-protocol terminal server module that connects serial devices to Ethernet-based LANs. It provides 16 asynchronous ports for connecting a variety of devices, such as terminals, modems, printers, PCs running terminal emulation, and hosts without a direct LAN connection to the Ethernet network. The terminal server module implements the full suite of TCP/IP protocols: TELNET, reverse TELNET, SLIP, TFTP, RLOGIN, and BOOTP. It also supports the Digital Equipment Corporation's Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol, and provides a user interface that is compatible with the DECserver. In addition, it implements network protocol translation between the LAT and TCP/IP protocols, allowing TCP/IP users to access resources transparently on LAT hosts, and vice versa. The terminal server module implements the "module switching" feature which means each module can be assigned individually to any of the three Ethernet segments. Moreover, each port supports up to 10 sessions mixing LAT and TCP/IP protocols, allowing a user to communicate simultaneously with LAT and TCP/IP hosts. Any of the 16 ports can be used for a remote user connection via a dial-in/dial-out modem, with transfer rates up to 38.4 kilobits per second (Kbps). Multiple ways of booting the terminal server program are offered: self loading from the module's PROM, from a network server with BOOTP or TFTP protocols, or from another terminal server module. Given the wide variety of wirings, patch cables are offered as accessories for major wiring types. Ethernet Bridge Module The Ethernet bridge module is a 2-slot module that integrates a high-performance 2-port bridge, and implements the "port switching" feature. The bridge module can be switched between any two of the three Ethernet segments, or between any Ethernet segment and an external Ethernet network (via an AUI port) without having to swap cables. It offers protocol-type filtering and supports the Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol (IEEE 802.1) for bridge redundancy and loop detection; a back-up bridge with automatic takeover can be installed for added protection against failures. Ethernet management modules (EMMs) The Ethernet basic and advanced management modules implement all the common features described earlier for xMMs, except remote program update for the basic version. Each EMM can continuously monitor and report such key statistics as network load or collisions, allowing the network administrator to maintain a running log by time of day. In addition, statistics such as counts of errors and packets received are collected down to the port level. It also monitors the Last Source Address for network mapping, and Last Error Address for error tracking. The advanced version offers, in addition, a host of advanced features. The "cross-module" and "cross-media" redundancy features allow the assignment of a port on a given module as the backup to a port located on another module, not necessarily of same media type. This allows the building of cost-effective backup links and extends fault-tolerance capabilities. The advanced EMM also offers built-in network security; individual ports can be set up, whenever the network address changes, to either report an alarm or isolate the port. 6-Port Switch Module (#6714, P/N 58G6714) The 6-port Switch module occupies two slots in the 8250 hub, and has five ports on the front panel (three 10BaseT and two AUI; one 10BaseT port is dedicated to front panel access, the remaining four ports may be switchable between a subset of 8250 backplane segments and two front panel AUI and two 10BaseT). The sixth port is switchable between any of the three Ethernet segments on the backplane. It offers a low-cost, media-speed switching function between six Ethernet networks. It increases network performance by eliminating congestion problems, and increases the performance of critical stations such as servers, dedicating the full 10 megabit per second (10Mbps) bandwidth of a port. This is an ideal solution for small LANs, where there is a need to improve overall network performance. 6-Port Bridge module (#7384, P/N 58G7384) The 6-port Bridge module occupies two slots in the 8250 hub, and has five ports on the front panel (three 10BaseT and two AUI; one 10BaseT port is dedicated to front panel access, the remaining four ports may be switchable between a subset of 8250 backplane segments and two front panel AUI and two 10BaseT). The sixth port is switchable between any of the three Ethernet segments on the backplane. The 6-port Bridge module supports standard bridging features such as Spanning Tree Protocol 802.1d, and filtering on Destination and Source Address for enhanced performance and network security. The Spanning Tree Protocol allows the design of LANs that are free of loops. The standard-based interconnection solution allows interconnection with multivendor bridges. AUS Ethernet 6-port Bridge (Single) (#7347, P/N 58G7347) The Automatic Update Service (AUS) subscription for the 6-port Bridge module is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure that the Switch module is up to date with the latest versions of code, through automatic distribution during 3-year of all newly announced code extensions and enhancements. AUS Ethernet 6-port Switch (Single) (#7349, P/N 58G7349) The Automatic Update Service (AUS) subscription for the 6-port Switch modules is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure that the Switch module is up to date with the latest versions of code, through automatic distribution during 3-year of all newly announced code extensions and enhancements. * Signifies a trademark or registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. ** Ethernet is a trademark of Xerox Corporation. ═══ 4. 8250 TOKEN-RING MODULES ═══ Token-Ring media module This is a 2-slot-wide module providing 20 RJ-45 ports to support Token-Ring stations. It's a fully managed module, with the "module switching" feature, that accepts both unshielded and shielded twisted pair connections, for 4 and 16Mbit rings. When unshielded copper is in use for Token-Ring, workstation media filters (offered as accessories) should be installed to match the Token-Ring adapter card DB9 connector to an RJ-45 connector and to match the impedance of the adapter to that of the cable. The media filter also meets FCC requirements for regulated radio frequency emissions (Class A regulations). The media module incorporates a repeater that re-times the signal, providing excellent transmission quality on both UTP and STP media. Up to seven media modules can be installed in one 8250 Model 017, for a total of 140 ports. For models 06S and 6HC, three media modules can be installed for a total of 64 ports. Media modules can be configured to form a single or separate LAN segments. The Token-Ring media module supports automatic wrap capability at the port level to protect the network from faulty stations or cable failure. It also detects automatically the failure of another Token-Ring media module and bypasses the failing module. The media module can be isolated from the main network while maintaining communications between lobe ports, for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes. Token-Ring fiber repeater module The Token-Ring fiber repeater module extends Token-Ring segments up to 2 km between concentrators with fiber optic cabling (ST-type connectors) and an integrated repeater. It supports the "module switching" feature and offers primary and backup ring paths with automatic fail-over for complete fault tolerance on the repeated ring paths. For greater flexibility, two copper RJ-45 ports are provided for connecting external bridges, routers, or LAN stations. Also, two non-repeated STP RI/RO connections (RJ-45) are provided for connection with external Token-Ring concentrators. Token-Ring management module (basic) The Token-Ring management module delivers cost-effective, full-featured network management of the 8250 Token-Ring networks. Copper RI/RO ports are provided for uplink connections to other Token-Ring concentrators, such as IBM 8228 and IBM 8230 concentrators. When a ring is formed in combination with an 8230's concentrators, the 8230 and the 8250 management module cooperate upon an uplink failure by wrapping to the backup ring, maintaining total connectivity to the network. The Token-Ring management module implements all the common features described earlier for xMMs. It can serve as an independent real-time monitoring and control center for one Token-Ring network, by collecting and reporting key statistics (isolating errors, nonisolating errors, inbound and outbound counters) as well as neighbor information for building the network map. It protects networks from unauthorized users through its address to port feature. Customers with Basic TRMM's, can upgrade their modules, with the 'TRMM Upgrade' feature, to take benefit of the added functions of the Advanced model. The upgrade consists of a daughter board to be fixed on the Basic TRMM by the user, and a new code to be loaded on the module. Token-Ring management module (Advanced) The Advanced Token-Ring Management Module, provides all the features of Basic TRMM, while offering important additional functions. The main features of Advanced TRMM are: - Real-time performance monitoring Each Advanced TRMM can serve as an independent real-time monitoring and control center for one Token-Ring network, without the need for a specialized workstation. The Advanced TRMM can continuously monitor and report such key statistics as network performance of the Token-Ring LAN and each station's ring usage. The ring performance is tracked through the collection of token rotation time statistics and the ring usage; station usage information is collected either in bytes or frames, giving the network administrator an accurate picture of network trends. - Advanced TRMM allows also the setting of thresholds at which a network alarm is generated, to inform the network administrator from excessive network loads. - Advanced security features In addition to port access security provided on the Basic TRMM, Advanced TRMM provides an added level of protection: group-port security. Group-port security allows the administrator to enable or disable an entire group of ports at one time, or at pre- defined times; this feature can be used to prevent access to the network for pre-defined periods and a given group of users. Multistation access unit (MAU) module The MAU module is a single-slot, 8-port, and RI/RO unmanaged MAU that creates a self-contained Token-Ring network. It is ideal for networks with numerous small segments: each MAU can operate as an independent segment, or can be combined to another MAU via the RI/RO connections to form a single segment. Patch cables are provided as accessories for that purpose. It provides automatic ring-wrap capability, preventing ring failure. Also, in case of power failure, the RI/RO main and backup paths continue to operate. Token-Ring bridge modules The Token-Ring bridge modules are 2-port, 1-slot Token-Ring to Token-Ring bridges. One port is assigned to the front panel, on either STP cabling with DB9 connector, or UTP cabling with RJ-45 connector. The other port is selectable among any of the internal Token-Ring segments on the backplane (up to 7). Either port may operate at 4 or 16 Mbits. The SR bridge module implements Source Routing protocol and is fully compatible with IBM Token-Ring bridges (6611, PS/2 bridge program, 8209). The SR/SRT bridge module implements both the SR protocol and the SRT (Source Routing/Transparent) protocol, an 802.1 standard for Source Routing operation that also allows interoperation with Transparent bridges. The module can run in either modes, as a user selectable option. The module uses dedicated hardware to implement address filtering, insuring that heavy traffic does not degrade performance. Both modules includes an SNMP agent, and may be managed from an SNMP manager. In addition, they offer an RS-232 port for management via a local terminal or via a modem. Also they may be managed via LAN Network Manager. The modules use Flash PROMs to save configuration and program update can be done through code download from the RS-232 port. ═══ 5. 8250 FDDI MODULES ═══ Fiber and STP media modules The FDDI media module (fiber or STP) is an 8-port, 2-slot medium access control (MAC)-less concentrator designed to connect single attachment stations to an FDDI network. This is a cost-effective modular solution for either concentrating a workgroup of FDDI users or building a tree of single access concentrators. Up to four media modules can be installed in the 8250 Model 017 (two in models 6HC and 06S), with a maximum of 32 (16 for the Models 6HC and 06S) stations. It implements the "module switching" feature, allowing the assignment of each module to any of the four independent FDDI rings. With a redundant S-type (slave) port, the media module allows for cascading concentrators in a dual ring tree configuration, while offering a unique fault-tolerant link capability. Two fiber modules are available, one with ST-type connector, the other with the standard approved MIC connector. They simplify migration from existing non-FDDI networks with 50- or 62.5-micron fiber optic cables. The STP module is fully compatible with IBM FDDI copper adapters for the Personal System* (PS/2*). The FDDI media modules do not incorporate DIP switches. A management module is required to assign a module on a backplane segment. FDDI management module The FDDI management module is a 2-slot module with an FDDI MAC; it provides A/B ports for uplink connections to another 8250 or an IBM 8240 FDDI concentrator; hence an FDDI network with dual rings and automatic ring wrap can be formed. A connection to an optical bypass is also provided. The FDDI management module implements all the common features described earlier for xMMs. It supports FDDI system management team (SMT) management; SMT access from remote SMT stations can be configured to allow read-write or read-only. In addition, it can serve as an independent real-time monitoring and control center for one FDDI ring, by collecting and reporting key statistics (MAC counters), network events, and neighbor information. The latter is used for building the network map. ═══ 6. WORKSTATION NETWORKING MODULE ═══ Marketing Part Number 73G6030 Feature Code 3174 The Workstation Networking Module is an optional module for the IBM 8250 Multiprotocol Intelligent Hub that provides key 3174 Establishment Controller token-ring LAN based and synchronous communication link functions, such as APPN and TCP/IP, as well as traditional 3270 terminal attachment. It allows customers to consolidate their LAN network infrastructure while preserving investments in 3270 terminal hardware, wiring and related applications. The Workstation Networking Module is an integral member of the 3174 product family and is a derivative of the existing 3174-23R. It is a 3270 solution for the IBM 8250 Multiprotocol Intelligent Hub that uses 3174 Configuration Support-C Licensed Internal Code (LIC) to support many key functions provided by the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller. Supported functions include: - 3270 Terminal Attachment for up to thirty-two 3270 Category A devices - SDLC and X.25 host protocols - Token-Ring DSPU - Token-Ring Gateway - Peer Communications (LAN Over Coax) - APPN - TCP/IP - Central Site Change Management - Central Site Control Facility - 3174 RAS functions (e.g., 'slash' tests) - 3174 End User Interface The Workstation Networking Module supports up to thirty-two 3270 Category A devices. It provides function similar to a thirty-two port 3174-23R. Terminal attachment is accomplished by use of the existing IBM 3299 Terminal Multiplexer family. Supported 3270 terminal types are the same as those supported by the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller. The Workstation Networking Module may be installed in any model of the 8250 family. The Workstation Networking Module is a two-slot 8250 module. The maximum number of Workstation Networking Modules that can be installed in an 8250 is dependent on the number of available 8250 slots (example: the 8250 Model 6HC has six slots, and can therefore support up to three Workstation Networking Modules, if no other 8250 feature modules are installed). The Workstation Networking Module includes a processor, 6 MB control storage, a 3 1/2" 2.88 MB diskette drive (formatted capacity), non-volatile storage, an operator panel and a Type 1 communications port (EIA232/V.24/V.28 or V.35). It has four Dual Purpose Connectors (DPC) and supports attachment of up to thirty-two 3270 Category A devices through the use of IBM 3299 Terminal Multiplexers (3299-001, 002, 003, 032 or 32T). ═══ 7.

The IBM 8222 6-Port 10Base-T Workgroup Hub has six 10Base-T ports for workstation connections using unshielded twisted-pair (category 3, 4, or 5) wiring. In addition, an Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) port is included in the 8222 which allows connection of another workstation, connection of the 8222 to a base Ethernet network, or connection of other 8222s to the Ethernet network through cascading. Cascading can also be accomplished through any of the 10Base-T ports. The 8222 allows for automatic disablement (partitioning) of any of its ports connected to a device that generates repeated collisions, re-enabling that port when the condition clears. The 8222 also automatically detects and corrects for polarity reversals on cables connected to its 10Base-T ports (repeater receive pair). The 8222 contains status LEDs for power (of the 8222), collision and activity (on the Ethernet network). Link OK and Disabled (partitioned) status LEDs are provided for every 10Base-T port, and a Disabled (partitioned) status LED is provided for the AUI port. The 8222 can be placed on a flat surface, such as a table top or a desk top, or it can be mounted on a wall or another object. Screws and mounting brackets are provided with the 8222 to facilitate mounting. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.

The IBM 8222 6-Port 10Base-T Workgroup Hub allows growth of the customer's business. As the number of workstations on the network increases, more 8222s can be added to the network to meet the demand. The 8222s can be cascaded in two ways: 1. Using the AUI port and a customer-supplied AUI attachment cable and transceiver to connect to a 10Base2, 10Base5, or fiber backbone, adding up to six new stations to the network for every 8222, or 2. Using a crossover cable to connect an RJ-45 port on one 8222 with an RJ-45 port on another 8222 to add up to four new stations to the network for every 8222. A crossover cable makes the receive pair of wires on one end of the cable the transmit pair of wires at the other end of the cable and vice versa. The IBM 8222 6-Port 10Base-T Workgroup Hub can be placed on a table top or mounted to a wall, providing installation flexibility. The IBM 8222 6-Port 10Base-T Workgroup Hub provides limited network management and troubleshooting capability.

Early Token Release can be enabled or disabled when the 16 Mbps rate is selected. The transmission media (cabling) supported by the Token-Ring port at 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps is consistent with the transmission media supported by other IBM Token-Ring Network adapters. A Token-Ring Network Adapter Cable is available as feature #2665. It provides a connection between the Token-Ring port and the receptacle. That cable is comprised of 150-ohm shielded twisted-pair wiring and an IBM Cabling System connector. The Ethernet port provides a single attachment to an a 10Mbps Ethernet link. The port supports Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) local area network specifications. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) is provided. A customer-supplied Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) 10Base5 (thick) cable and a customer-supplied Ethernet transceiver are required to connect the Ethernet port to the Ethernet network. Customer selection of an Ethernet transceiver with the cable-matching function can provide connectivity to other Ethernet backbone wiring options including 10Base2 (thin) and 10Base-T twisted pair. Two serial communications interfaces are provided. The supported electrical interface standard is EIA 422/449. Each interface operates in full duplex mode at speeds ranging from 19.2 Kbps up to 1.536 Mbps full duplex. A customer-supplied data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) device is required to connect the IBM 6611 to the serial link. The DCE can be either a data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU), or a modem. Three key items that must be provided by the DCE are (1) conformance to EIA 422/449 standards, (2) a continuous clock, and (3) the ability to accept DTE-provided clock which is generated from the receive clock. If the DCE is a DSU/CSU connected to a T1 link, the DSU/CSU must provide the framing bits that bring the total speed of the connection up to the 1.544 Mbps level. An EIA 422/449 Serial Adapter Cable is available as feature #2645. These serial ports do not provide fractional T1 capability. The two serial ports each provide a CCITT V.35 compatible electrical interface. Each interface operates in full duplex mode at speeds from 19.2 Kbps to 1.536 Mbps. Customer-supplied data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) is required to connect the 6611 to the serial link. The DCE must conform to the CCITT V.35 Recommendation and provide the framing bits that bring the total data rate of the connection to 1.544 Mbps. A V.35 Compatible Serial Adapter Cable to connect each port to the DCE is available as feature #2655. These serial ports do not provide fractional T1 capabilities. A single attachment that enables the IBM 6611 Model 120 to be a DTE device on an X.25 network via a customer-supplied modem (DCE) that provides either an EIA 232 or a 1984 CCITT V.35 interface is provided. The X.25 port supports data rates of up to 19.2 Kbps for EIA 232 and up to 56 Kbps for V.35. Only the IP protocol is supported on the X.25 interface. An X.25 cable is required to connect the X.25 port to the X.25 DCE (#2977 or #2978 for EIA-232, #2987 or #2988 for V.35). The X.25 port will also support one 1984 CCITT X.21 interface at a data rate up to 64 Kbps. Two X.25 Adapter CCITT X.21 cables are available (#2975 and #2976). Four SDLC ports are provided which support four EIA 232 electrical interfaces or two 1984 CCITT V.35 electrical interfaces in any combination up to the maximum of four per Model 120. The SDLC ports supports data rates up to 19.2 Kbps for the EIA 232 interface and up to 64 Kbps for the V.35 interface. The two CCITT V.35 interfaces are only supported on ports 0 and 1. The SDLC ports are provided to support attachment of SNA/SDLC Physical Unit 2.0 devices such as the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller. Multiple cables are required to connect each SDLC port to the appropriate communications link. The SDLC Adapter Interface Cable (Feature #2723) provides a single connection between the four SDLC ports on the Model 120 and the individual interface cables, either the SDLC Adapter EIA 232/CCITT V.24 Cable (Feature #2725) or the SDLC Adapter CCITT V.35 Cable (Feature #2727). These cables, in turn, provide the connection to the customer-supplied DCE. Alternatively, one 1984 CCITT X.21 electrical interface at a data rate up to 64 Kbps is supported, on Port 0 only. The SDLC Adapter CCITT X.21 Cable (feature #2729) provides connection between the SDLC Adapter Interface Cable and the X.21 interface of the customer supplied data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE). MODEL 120 Standard features of the 6611 Model 120 include: o One 3.5-inch 1.44 MB diskette drive o 16 MB memory PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS Horizontal - o Width: 406mm (16.0 inches) o Depth: 419mm (16.5 inches) o Height: 84mm (3.3 inches) o Weight: 9 - 11.5kg (20-25 lbs) OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Operating: o Temperature: 10 to 40C (50 to 104F) o Relative Humidity: 8 to 80 percent (noncondensing) o Wet Bulb: 27C (80.6F) Non-operating: o Temperature: 10 to 43C (50 to 110F) o Relative Humidity: 8 to 80 percent (noncondensing) o Wet Bulb: 27C (80.6F) MODEL 120 Fixed configuration options, no adapter features supported The minimum system configuration consists of an IBM 6611 Network Processor Model 120, 140, or 170 and the adapters, cables and power cord necessary to implement the customer's configuration. IBM will provide an optional remote service capability for IBM 6611 Network Processor customers. Customers desiring to establish this service must provide a modem such as the IBM 5853, or equivalent, and a communications line. IBM believes that this capability will provide an enhanced service level and increased system availability. To operate, the IBM 6611 Network Processor requires the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program (5648-016). The IBM Multiprotocol Network Program must be specified for preloading into the IBM 6611 Network Processor at the time of manufacture. Initial configuration of the IBM 6611 Network Processors and post-installation configuration changes will require the use of the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program that is shipped with the IBM Multiprotocol Networking Program. The configuration program will operate in either of the following customer-supplied hardware and software operating environments: An IBM PS/2 or compatible as follows: o Intel 80386 or higher central processing unit o IBM DOS 3.3 or MS-DOS 3.3 or later versions o MS Windows 3.0 or later versions o 8MB of memory o 3.5-inch floppy disk o 10MB of free hard file disk space o VGA display o Mouse A RISC System/6000* POWERstation* or POWERserver* as follows: o AIX Version 3.1.5 for RISC System/6000 (AIX/6000 3.1.5) or higher o AIXWindows Environment/6000 o 16MB of memory o 3.5-inch floppy disk o 10MB of free hard file disk space o Graphics display o Mouse If the customer elects to install a communication link between the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program on a RISC System/6000 and the IBM 6611 Network Processor, the TCP/IP function in AIX/6000 3.1.5 or higher must be implemented. If the customer elects to install network management, the SNMP agent function must be configured in the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program. In addition, the customer must install an SNMP manager program such as the new IBM AIX NetView/6000 (5765-077). IBM AIX NetView/6000 can be connected to NetView, and the implementation requirements are in the AIX NetView/6000 announcement. Implementation of that connection requires that NetView be at the Version 2 Release 2 level. If the customer elects to install source route bridging, that function must be configured in the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program. Remote source route bridging can be implemented by using an IBM 6611 Network Processor for each bridge half, or by using the IBM 6611 Network Processor for one bridge half and an IBM Personal System/2 for the other bridge half. If the latter option is selected, the Personal System/2 must have the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 (53F7-724) installed. If the customer elects to implement network management of the IBM Token-Ring Network, the IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.0 (74F5537) must be installed. To support the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program, a no-charge update must be installed on the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 and on the IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.0. Model 120: Yes. Setup by IBM service personnel is also available for an additional charge. * Signifies a trademark or registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. ** Ethernet is a trademark of Xerox Corporation. ═══ 16. 6611 IBM NETWORK PROCESSOR ═══ Double click here to display picture IBM expands its networking systems offerings by introducing the IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 and the IBM 6611 Network Processor 170.

It can be managed by an existing SNMP manager and by the AIX* NetView/6000 program (5765-077). The traditional SNA computing and networking model defined a hierarchical network that linked terminals to host-based transaction processing applications that utilized the Customer Information Control System (CICS) and the Information Management System (IMS). During the past several years, implementation of a flat computing and networking model has proceeded rapidly as applications have been distributed to LAN-connected personal computers and workstations from a wide variety of manufacturers with a diverse set of underlying communications protocols. In addition, implementation of the flat computing model may have resulted in the implementation of multiple networks as each department in an enterprise implemented business solutions tailored to the specialized tasks performed by that department. The continually increasing cost of supporting multiple networks across similar geographic areas has resulted in a critical customer requirement for a means to achieve cost savings in equipment and tariff costs for the physical network and personnel costs related to the installation, operation, and management of multiple networks. The IBM 6611 Network Processors are announced in response to this key customer requirement. It provides a means to economically interconnect local area networks (LANs), connect LANs to wide area networks (WANs), and connect LANs to LANs via WANs. The IBM 6611 Network Processors, by enabling the consolidation of multiple protocols on a link, can reduce a customer's networking expenses. In addition, the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program includes an SNMP agent. That enables the IBM 6611 Network Processors to be managed on a distributed basis by an SNMP manager such as the newly announced AIX NetView/6000 program. At the customer's option, the AIX NetView/6000 program can be linked to NetView to provide centralized network management from a System/370* or System/390* processor. Thus, additional personnel cost savings may be attainable depending upon one's present and future network management structure. End-user productivity is being enhanced by the migration of applications from a computing model based on fixed-function video display terminals to multiple computing models such as distributed, cooperative, and client-server computing. Those new computing models are dependent on the networking of personal computers, workstations, mid-range processors, and central-site mainframe processors. The new computing models are generally LAN-based, and the applications are typically developed to meet unique end-user requirements without regard for any potential networking impact. The IBM 6611 Network Processors can accommodate the proliferation of disparate end-user business solutions by providing a means to economically consolidate the transmission of many LAN-based protocols as well as SNA. Both end-user departments and corporate information systems organizations have made major investments in a wide variety of business solutions. Customers have made a major investment in processors, from personal computers and workstations to mid-range machines and hosts, and in LAN equipment and software from a wide variety of vendors. In addition, there are thousands of installed SNA networks that also represent a significant hardware and software investment over along period of time. Customers have made a large investment in application development across the enterprise as well as an investment in training for end users, programmers, and systems operators and managers. The IBM 6611 Network Processors, by providing adapters for the attachment of devices located on Ethernet and token ring LANs as well as attachment of SNA/Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) Physical Unit 2.0 devices (such as the IBM 3174), and by supporting many of the available LAN protocols, enables customers to protect the major computing and networking investments that have been previously made. Application growth today is being driven by the need to provide end users with access to any required information regardless of the technology and protocols used to implement the application and regardless of geographic and organizational boundaries. The IBM 6611 Network Processors, by supporting the consolidation of multiple LAN-based protocols as well as SNA on a physical link, enables customers to focus on application development to achieve end-user productivity and corporate growth without concern regarding the availability of the appropriate networking protocols required to support the application. In the past, corporate information systems organizations implemented host-based applications and networks to serve end users. Today, those end users are installing LAN-based business solutions from a wide variety of hardware and software vendors to achieve the function and productivity associated with personal computers and workstations. Thus, end-user departments are working with telecommunications managers and management information systems (MIS) managers in regard to networking issues and often significantly influencing the corporate networking direction. The IBM 66111 Network Processors provide a major response to end-user requirements by enabling the implementation of a common corporate data utility that can accommodate the protocols associated with a wide variety of business solutions based on a rich spectrum of available LAN technologies as well as SNA. IBM is announcing a comprehensive set of products to address customer requirements for routing, bridging, and systems management in a multiprotocol environment. The IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 and IBM 6611 Network Processor 170 provide the base hardware platforms for the execution of routing and bridging functions implemented in the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program (5648-016). The latter includes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, which can be managed by an SNMP manager such as the AIX NetView/6000 program (5765-077). The IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 has four adapter slots, and the IBM 6611 Network Processor 170 has seven adapter slots. Both IBM 6611 Network Processors are floor-standing units. The IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 can also be placed in a vertical position on the bottom shelf of a 19-inch rack, assuming there is sufficient vertical clearance between shelves. Optionally, the IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 can be installed in a horizontal orientation on a table. That option is not available for for the IBM 6611 Network Processor 170. The basic functions of the Multiprotocol Network Program include the ability to route a wide variety of LAN protocols (TCP/IP, XNS, IPX, DECnet Phase IV, and Apple Talk Phase 2) as well as the ability to transport SNA and NETBIOS traffic in a bridged or routed environment on the same physical link as the LAN protocols. An SNMP agent is also included in the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program. It provides a distributed network management solution for multi-vendor environments using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and SNMP. If centralized network management through System/370, System/390 NetView is also desired, the AIX NetView Service Point program (5621-107) provides an interface between AIX NetView/6000 and NetView. When connected to a frame relay network, the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170 perform the functions of a data terminal equipment (DTE) device. The frame relay function will support Permanent Virtual Circuits and provide wide-area transport of IP, XNS, IPX, DECnet (Phase IV), AppleTalk, SNA, NETBIOS and token ring source route bridging. The Local Management Interface (LMI) options include support for ANSI T1.617 Annex D. The IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 and IBM 6611 Network Processor 170 Frame Relay encapsulation protocol will provide interoperability with other equipment supporting this proposed industry standard. The IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170 will attach to frame relay networks that adhere to ANSI T1.617/8 (CCITT Q.922/3). A list of supported network providers will be available at general availability of the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170. The second option for multi-vendor interoperability for the wide area network is the use of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). This encapsulation protocol is based on Request for Comment (RFC) 1171. It uses the frame structure of HDLC (ISO 3309). This PPP specification defines both control of the data-link connection and support for each of the protocol families. The IBM 6611 Network Processors support the current Network Control Protocol RFC for IP (RFC 1172) and for source route bridging. In addition, IBM has included Network Control Protocol support for IPX, XNS, DECnet Phase IV, and AppleTalk. SNA and NETBIOS Data Link Switching use IP as a transport in the WAN environment, and are thus supported with PPP. Networking vendors supporting the noted specifications are expected to interoperate with the IBM 6611 Network Processors in a multi-vendor environment. Additional details in regard to PPP interoperability will be available at general availability. The IBM Multiprotocol Network Program (5648-016) provides the ability to route a wide variety of LAN protocols and transport SNA and NETBIOS in a bridged or routed environment. With those capabilities, customers can use the IBM 6611 Network Processors and the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program to interconnect LANs, connect LANs to WANs, and connect LANs to LANs via WANs. In addition, the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program provides the SNMP agent function. The IBM Multiprotocol Network Program is preloaded into the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170 when they are built. Above the physical layer, the following protocols are supported to provide routing services, network services, and network applications for the first five protocol suites listed at the beginning of this section. o TCP/IP - ARP -- Address Resolution Protocol - IP -- Internet Protocol - TCP -- Transmission Control Protocol - UDP -- User Datagram Protocol - ICMP -- Internet Control Message Protocol - RIP -- Routing Information Protocol - OSPF -- Open Shortest Path First - HELLO - EGP -- Exterior Gateway Protocol - BGP -- Border Gateway Protocol - SNMP -- Simple Network Management Protocol - FTP -- File Transfer Protocol - TELNET o XNS * - Error - Echo - IDP -- Internetwork Datagram Protocol - RIP -- Routing Information Protocol - Sequenced Packet Protocol ** - Packet Exchange Protocol ** o IPX - IPX -- Internet Packet Exchange Protocol - SPX -- Sequenced Packet Exchange ** - SAP -- Service Advertising Protocol - RIP -- Routing Information Protocol o AppleTalk (Phase 2) - AARP -- AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol - NBP -- Name Binding Protocol - AEP -- AppleTalk Echo Protocol - DDP -- Datagram Delivery Protocol - RTMP -- Routing Table Maintenance Protocol - ZIP -- Zone Information Protocol o DECnet (Phase IV) - DECnet Routing - Level 1 (Routing IV for Intradomain Communications) - Level 2 (Area Routing for Interdomain Communications) Notes: o *The XNS protocol suite is defined per the Xerox standard XNSS 028112 and published in the "Xerox System Integration Standard: Internet Transport Protocols" (the Xerox 'gray book'). Protocols." Variations of the XNS protocol suite such as Banyan VINES and Ungerman-Bass Net One are not supported. o **The Sequenced Packet Protocol and Packet Exchange Protocol in the XNS protocol suite and the SPX protocol in the IPX protocol suite are transported by the IBM Multiprotocol Network Program, but are not implemented in that program. Interoperability between routers at the transport layer and application layers depends upon a common implementation of open, standards-based or architected router-to-router protocols. That statement is of particular importance for those customers with routers from multiple vendors, but is equally applicable to customers with routers from a single vendor. For example, in the TCP/IP protocol suite, OSPF and RIP are the open, standards-based router-to-router protocols. OSPF is based on Request For Comment (RFC) 1247. Networking vendors supporting that specification are expected to interoperate with the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170. Additional details concerning the interoperability of those products with other routers that have implemented OSPF will be provided at general availability of the IBM 6611 Network Processors. The OSPF protocol provides an open standard that is available to any router manufacturer, and it provides a number of major enhancements compared to RIP. However, RIP has been widely implemented and in many networks provides a satisfactory router-to-router protocol. RIP is based on RFC 1058. Networking vendors supporting that specification are expected to interoperate with the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170. Additional details concerning the interoperability of those products with other routers that have implemented RIP will be provided at general availability of the IBM 6611 Network Processors. Router-to-router protocols such as OSPF and RIP are transported over serial and LAN connections. The 6611 2-Port Serial Adapter can support, at the data link level, the interoperability of routers from the same or multiple vendors assuming a common implementation of the open, standards-based specifications for Frame Relay and/or the Point-to-Point Protocol. Those two specifications are discussed in the paragraphs that follow the description of the 6611 2-Port Serial Adapter. A key element in the reduction of a customer's networking expenses is the consolidation of the above protocols with SNA and NETBIOS traffic across a link. Data link switching (DLS) is the name of the methodology developed by IBM to transport the SNA and NETBIOS protocols with IBM 6611 Network Processors. The physical devices supported by SNA DLS are token ring attached devices and Physical Unit Type 2.0 devices attached to the 4-Port SDLC Adapter. NETBIOS DLS supports end stations located on both token ring and Ethernet networks. Key customer benefits provided by DLS are in the areas of availability and efficient WAN utilization. Availability is improved because DLS enables the IBM 6611 Network Processors to internally terminate the 802.2 Layer and locally acknowledge frames, while encapsulating the data in TCP/IP. Local acknowledgement minimizes time outs and the resulting session loss. Availability improvements are achieved through the automatic route switching provided by IP which reroutes traffic around failed nodes and through the reliable WAN transport provided by TCP. Data link controls are provided by TCP, and it can retransmit data and keep sessions "alive" when alternate paths are available. Efficient WAN utilization is achieved because DLS permits all supported protocols (including SNA) to be consolidated on a link. In addition, the IBM 6611 Network Processors with DLS will handle the link layer flow control for SNA end stations. Therefore, WAN and LAN traffic overhead is minimized because the IBM 6611 Network Processors can handle the polling for SDLC and the "keep alive" messages for the 802.2 logical link control. NETBIOS data link switching (DLS) is a set of additions to SNA DLS which will allow the pass-thru of NETBIOS broadcast frames and the addition of station/name/router information to the DLS tables. The IBM 6611 Network Processors are bridge and router products. In addition to the previously described routing capabilities, the IBM 6611 Network Processors provide two source route bridging (SRB) functions, called basic and multiport. The basic SRB function provides a means to connect two local or remote IBM Token-Ring Networks into one logical ring. The connected rings can be any combination of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps IBM Token-Ring Networks. Two configurations of the basic SRB function are available: 1. Local Bridge Connectivity. A single IBM 6611 Network Processor may be used to physically connect two IBM Token-Ring Networks that converge at one location, such as a wiring closet. Each of the two interconnected rings requires a 6611 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter in the IBM 6611 Network Processor. 2. Remote Bridge Connectivity. The remote SRB function supports bridging across the 6611 2-Port Serial Adapter in either of two configurations: Compatibility Mode: This configuration is based on a point-to-point telecommunication link with a data rate up to 1.344 Mbps. In this mode of operation, each 6611 2-Port Serial Adapter can support connection to two IBM PS/2s running the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 (53F7-724). The IBM 6611 Network Processors will operate in compatibility mode with the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program. In this configuration, the IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 or 170 must have at least one 6611 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter installed and operational. Native Mode: This configuration is based on a serial link with a data rate up to 1.544 Mbps. In this mode of operation, each port of the 6611 2-Port Serial Adapter in a local IBM 6611 Network Processor can support a bridged connection to a port on the 2-Port Serial Adapter in a remote IBM 6611 Network Processor. In native mode, the telecommunications facility between two or more IBM 6611 Network Processors can be provided by a point-to-point serial link or by a frame relay network. The multiport source route bridging function also provides both local and remote bridge connectivity. The IBM 6611 Network Processor multiport SRB function provides a means to connect more than two local or remote IBM Token-Ring Networks into one logical ring. Multiport local SRB will support as many 6611 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapters as can be configured by the IBM 6611 Network Processors. Multiport remote SRB will similarly support as many 6611 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapters and 6611 2-Port Serial Adapters as can be configured by the IBM 6611 Network Processors. Multiport remote SRB supports the same configurations as single-port remote SRB: compatibility mode and native mode with a native mode telecommunications facility that can be either a point-to-point serial link or a frame relay network. Both basic and multiport SRB in the IBM 6611 Network Processors can provide a significant benefit to customers who have implemented the remote bridge capability of the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program. With the introduction of the IBM 6611 Network Processor SRB function and Token-Ring Network Bridge Program compatibility, an IBM 6611 Network Processor can be used for one bridge half and a Personal System/2 can be used for the other bridge half. Thus, a single IBM 6611 Network Processor can replace multiple IBM Personal System/2*s required today to support multiple, remote IBM PS/2*s running the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program. The functional capabilities of the IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.0, announced in September, 1990, include the management of bridged PS/2s that use the IBM Token Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 announced in June, 1990. Both the IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.0 and the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 will support token ring SRB function in the IBM 6611 Network Processors for basic and multiport bridging with local and remote connectivity. A range of management capabilities will be supported. The level of management support is dependent upon: o The presence or absence of the IBM LAN Network Manager Version 1.0. o The presence or absence of the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2. o Whether the bridge connection is local or remote. o The overall network topology and placement of the IBM LAN Network Manager and the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program within that topology. The Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program is initially used to create the configuration diskette required for the initial program load (IPL) when the IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 or IBM 6611 Network Processor 170 is first installed. Once an IBM 6611 Network Processor is operational on a TCP/IP network, configuration changes can be exchanged on-line between a RISC System/6000 POWERstation or POWERserver and an IBM 6611 Network Processor on the same network. That on-line configuration exchange capability is not available for configuration changes created on a Personal System/2 or compatible system. However, the Multiprotocol Network Program can apply software configuration changes to the IBM 6611 Network Processor while it remains operational, regardless of whether those changes were created on a Personal System/2 or on a RISC System/6000. Hardware configuration changes must be installed by an IBM customer engineer. The Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program can send requests to the IBM 6611 Network Processors to retrieve information such as the current configuration and currently installed hardware. The Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program has been designed with a focus on usability. It provides a graphical user interface that enables users to manipulate hardware objects and configure individual ports. Protocols can be easily defined through the use of windows, pop-ups, and templates. Whenever possible, default values and ranges are shown to simplify the configuration of protocols. Contextual help is available to the user at each step of the configuration task. Network management for the IBM 6611 Network Processors has four major elements: o The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) - an open, standards- based (RFC 1157) protocol that is used for the exchange of variables between SNMP agents and one or more SNMP managers in a TCP/IP network. o SNMP agents - the Multiprotocol Network Program provides the SNMP agent for each IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 and 170. o SNMP manager(s) - the IBM AIX NetView/6000 program or the customer's currently installed SNMP management program. o The Management Information Base (MIB) - an open, standards-based set of definitions for variables (or data objects) that are shared or exchanged between the SNMP agents and the SNMP manager(s). MIB variables include data elements such as network statistics and operational status information. The Multiprotocol Network Program supports multiple open, standards-based MIBs including MIB I and MIB II, and provides an additional IBM, enterprise-specific MIB. The Multiprotocol Network Program logs all errors in the error log that is maintained by each IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 and 170. Critical errors, such as those related to network availability, are forwarded as traps (or problem alerts) to the SNMP manager. To assist problem determination and diagnosis, traps generated by the Multiprotocol Network Program will include probable cause information and recommended actions. The Multiprotocol Network Program includes the TCP/IP TELNET and File Transfer Program (FTP) applications. TELNET provides a remote access to the systems management interface of the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170 to perform functions such as viewing the error log, running diagnostics and requesting dumps and traces. FTP enables the transfer of information such as error logs, dumps and traces from the IBM 6611 Network Processors 140 and 170 to the workstation in which the SNMP manager is operating. The Multiprotocol Network Program Configuration Program can be installed in the same RISC System/6000 as AIX NetView/6000. The AIX NetView/6000 Announcement Letter provides additional information on establishing communication between AIX NetView/6000 and the host-based NetView product. The IBM 6611 Network Processor 140 is a table-top or floor-standing unit. It has four customer-configurable adapter card slots and two, 160MB fixed disk drives. The IBM 6611 Network Processor 170 is a floor-standing unit. It has seven customer-configurable adapter card slots and a 355MB fixed disk drive with an associated SCSI adapter that occupies an eighth slot. Both IBM 6611 Network Processors have 16MB of memory.

The WAN can support only IBM 6611 Network Processors or IBM 6611 Network Processors and routers from multiple vendors. Multi-vendor connectivity can be achieved through the implementation of a standards-based Frame Relay WAN or implementation of the serial link Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Interoperability is discussed in the following paragraphs and in the Interoperability section of this document. This adapter provides two serial communications interfaces per adapter. The supported electrical interface standard is EIA 422. Each adapter interface operates in full duplex mode at speeds ranging from 19.2 Kbps up to 1.536 Mbps full duplex. A customer-supplied data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) device is required to connect the IBM 6611 to the serial link. The DCE can be either a data service unit/channel service unit (DSU/CSU), or a modem. Two key items that must be provided by the DCE are conformance to the EIA 449 and 422 standards and a continuous clock. If the DCE is a DSU/CSU connected to a T1 link, the DSU/CSU must provide the framing bits that bring the total speed of the connection up to the 1.544 Mbps level.

The 8240 is a "Plug and Play" concentrator that allows customers to be productive quickly and easily on a high-performance 100Mbps FDDI network. Further customization is achieved by a user-friendly Maintenance Facility which also provides a graphical user interface to display all of the devices attached to the 8240 and to the FDDI segment. Customers can now achieve increased bandwidth along with higher network availability than existing LANs such as Token-Ring and Ethernet. Customers can also easily migrate servers and requestors individually to a 100Mbps networking environment. The technology within the 8240 provides improvement of network availability as a result of automatic reconfiguration of the network. When a network link failure occurs, the problem can automatically be isolated, bypassed, and reported, and quickly repaired, resulting in less network downtime. The 8240 is both versatile and robust. As a stand-alone device, it can be used to create a small, dedicated, high-performance LAN for specialized communities of users or for a network test bed. As the number of users grows, integration into the FDDI network is achieved via easy-to-install device attachment modules. As a backbone unit within an FDDI establishment network, the 8240 can be used to attach high-performance workstations and other devices such as FDDI to Token-Ring and FDDI to Ethernet bridges. The FDDI network thus provides a migration for additional growth and capacity for new users and applications along with greater drive distance for LAN extension. Here, too, easy-to-install attachment modules allow the customer the flexibility to grow and maintain the network. Customers can keep their investment in their current workstations and devices while using the IBM Cabling System with IBM adapters and the 8240. The 8240 provides ease of expandability and flexibility of attaching copper and fiber media to the workstation. Since FDDI supports industry-standard applications and protocols such as IEEE 802.2, customers can also easily migrate their current applications to a 100Mbps FDDI network. In addition, widely used protocols such as Novell are also supported. The 8240 is based on the ANSI FDDI Station Management (SMT) 6.2 standard, thus providing connection and operation in a 100Mbps FDDI network with standard-based equipment from other vendors. The 8240 allows the customer to configure the network into subnetworks for specific applications such as transaction processing. With the improved network availability achieved as a result of automatic network reconfiguration, downtime can be reduced and problems can be isolated and repaired more quickly, without impacting overall network operations. The 8240 can operate as a dual-attached, single-attached, or dual-homed concentrator. As a dual-attached concentrator, it can be attached to a primary and secondary ring. The primary ring transmits the data, while the secondary ring provides backup for the primary ring. FDDI also provides the capability to structure primary and alternate path connections to attaching devices such as the 8240, improving the overall reliability, availability, and serviceability of the network. It allows the construction of hierarchical topologies by "cascading" several levels deep and by "dual homing" (i.e., attaching an 8240 to each of two other 8240s) to provide optimum network availability in case of a bypassed network failure. Diagnostic information is also provided automatically both at the 8240 front panel and at the Maintenance Facility workstation to enable the user to better maintain and manage the 8240. Network management will be provided via an FDDI Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Proxy Agent Program. This agent will convert SMT to SNMP protocols for use by AIX Netview/6000 or any original equipment manufacturer (OEM) SNMP-based network management system. The SMT protocol will be based on SMT 6.2, and the Maintenance Facility will provide Remote Program Update capability for 8240 support of future levels of SMT. IBM intends to provide an FDDI LAN Management application on AIX NetView/6000 for graphical display of topology information provided by the IBM FDDI SNMP Proxy Agent Program. This application will allow the user to see changes and initiate management functions dynamically.

Compatibility with an 801-type autocall unit is also provided. This modem provides error checking and retransmission capability, using MNP* up to the level 3. *MNP is a trademark of Microcom. The 5853 Modem provides no Communication Network Management (CNM) functions. The 5853 Modem is a 2400 bps modem for Switched Network. It transmits data from 0 to 300 bps in asynchronous mode and at 1200 and 2400 bps in synchronous and asynchronous mode. It operates full duplex according to: o BELL 103 protocol at data rates of 0 to 300 bps. o BELL 212A protocol at data rates of 1200 and 300 bps. o CCITT V.22bis protocol at data rates of 2400 and 1200 bps. This modem allows performance of auto-call on the Public Switched Network using the IBM, Attention, and V.25 bis command sets. The 5853 Modem also provides an interface to an 801-type external Auto Call Unit (Not supplied by IBM). This modem is also equipped with error checking and retransmitting capability in asynchronous mode using up to level 3 of Microcom Networking Protocol. It is classified as Data Communication Equipment (DCE) and functions with Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) utilizing the CCITT V.24/V.28 (EIA RS-232-C/RS-334) interface. As such, it can be attached to DTEs supporting that kind of modems. The modem is attached to the DTE with a cable provided by the DTE. This cable must be terminated at the modem end with a standard, male, 25-pin, D-shell connector. Through testing, IBM has verified operation of the 5853 Modem with the following IBM DTEs: 3101, 3161, 3705, 3720, 3725, 3728, S/1, S/36, S/38, IBM PC and IBM PS/2 Model 30 and 50, ROLM CBX II, 9750. Automatic/Manual Dialing Data transmission over the public switched network is initiated after a communication path is established. Manual or automatic dialing may be used to establish the communication path for the 5853 Modem. o Manual calls may be initiated by the DTE operator using the Data/ Talk switch on the modem and a telephone set connected into the rear of the modem. This telephone set must be a standard Bell series 500/2500 or equivalent. o Automatic calls may be initiated by the DTE via the RS-232 interface. Refer to the Software Requirement section below. o Automatic calls may be initiated by the DTE via an Automatic Call Unit (ACU). This ACU must be: - Functionally equivalent to the Bell type 801C ACU. - Equipped with an 8-pin modular jack interface to attach the 5853 modem. The ACU is not provided with the 5853 modem. The cable to connect the ACU to the 5853 is provided with the 5853 modem. It is recommended that the user have available an additional phone at the opposite end of the switched network to assist in network problem determination. Software required to operate the 5853 Modem is dependent on the specific application of the modem. IBM systems S/370, 9370, S/1, S/36, S/38 with 3705, 3720 or 3725 Communication Controllers or Integrated Communications Adapters allowing Half-duplex or Full-duplex synchronous transmission over switched or leased lines can use the 5853 Modem and no unique software is required. Current IBM system softwares, including ACF/VTAM with ACF/NCP or ACF/VTAM-E, also support manual dial and autocall via a RS-366 Autocall interface with an ACU. Autocall via the RS-232 data interface is supported on the IBM PC and IBM PS/2 using either IBM or Attention command set. ═══ 32. IBM 8209 ENHANCED ETHERNET ATTACHMENT MODULE ═══ Marketing Part Number 74F8629 Feature Code 5156 Bus Master No The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge with the Enhanced Ethernet (1) Attachment Module interconnects an IBM Token-Ring Network and an Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3/ISO 802.3 Local Area Network. The Enhanced Ethernet Attachment Module provides the same function as the original Ethernet Attachment Module plus it offers enhanced network management on the IBM Token-Ring portion of the network. Specifically the Enhanced Ethernet Attachment Module offers Ring Error Monitor, a Configuration Report Server, and Ethernet LLC support for linking with IBM LAN Manager and IBM LAN Network Manager programs. The Enhanced Ethernet Attachment Module also provides filtering on both source and destination addresses, address mapping between LANs, locally administered addresses and IPX support. (1) Ethernet is a Trademark of XEROX, Inc. HIGHLIGHTS o Bridges 4 or 16 Mbps IBM Token-Ring Network to Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3/ISO 802.3 Networks. o Provides Ring Error Monitor Management Server for Reporting IBM Token-Ring MAC Frame Error Conditions. o Provides a Configuration Report Server for IBM Token-Ring Networks. o Features Ethernet LLC Support for IBM LAN Manager/IBM LAN Network Manager allowing multiple IBM Token-Ring Networks to be managed across an Ethernet Backbone. o Filtering Capability on both Source and Destination Addresses. o Compatible with IBM LAN Manager or IBM LAN Network Manager. o IPX support for Nowell Netware products. The IBM 8209 Enhanced Ethernet Attachment Module provides improved IBM Token-Ring Network Management. Ring Error Monitor is provided so that Token-Ring MAC frame errors are reported to the 8209 LAN Bridge. The 8209 LAN Bridge uses a feature called the Configuration Report Server to report IBM Token-Ring Network configuration changes to IBM LAN Manager or IBM LAN Network Manager. With this customers can determine what devices are on the IBM Token-Ring Network through IBM LAN Manager/IBM LAN Network Manager. Ethernet LLC support allows for IBM LAN Manager programs to link to the Bridge to provide customers the ability to manage multiple IBM Token-Ring Networks across an Ethernet backbone with one IBM LAN Manager/IBM LAN Network Manager. Filtering on both source and destination addresses has been added so that customers can more efficiently control the information to be transmitted across the 8209 LAN Bridge. The remaining functions of the IBM 8209 LAN Bridge remain unchanged. The IBM 8209 Enhanced Ethernet Attachment Module will support up to a combined total of 2048 entries in the Token-Ring and Ethernet address data bases. The maximum number of Token-Ring data base entries is limited to 1024. ═══ 33. IBM 8209 TOKEN-RING ATTACHMENT MODULE ═══ Marketing Part Number 74F8630 Feature Code 8630 Bus Master No The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge with the Token-Ring Attachment Module connects two local IBM Token-Ring Networks into one logical ring. The connected rings can be any combination of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps IBM Token-Ring Networks. The Token-Ring Attachment Module utilizes the IBM 8209 LAN Bridge Base Unit thus providing this function in a plug and play unit with no keyboard or display. The IBM 8209 Token-Ring Attachment Module provides the same network management and similar filtering capabilities as the local IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2. HIGHLIGHTS o Compatible with IBM Token-Ring Bridge Program Version 2.2 (local Bridging only) o Filtering on Both Source and Destination Addresses o Capability to Write Your Own Filters o Same Network Management as Local IBM Token-Ring Network Program Version 2.2 o Plug and Play Configuration provides ease of installation. The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge with the Token-Ring Attachment Module offers high reliability and availability for a local Token-Ring to Token-Ring bridge. It is easy to configure and is rack shelf- mountable enabling customers to grow their LAN environment into new areas. The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge with the Token-Ring Attachment Module is compatible with the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2 allowing customers to add to their installed base. This function is provided in response to customer requirements from GUIDE and SHARE User Groups and from direct customer input. The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge with the Token-Ring Attachment Module provides the same network management capabilities as the local portion of the IBM Token-Ring Network Bridge Program Version 2.2. In addition, the IBM 8209 Token-Ring Attachment Module allows customers to filter on both source and destination addresses as well as to write their own filters. This enables the customer to control information transmitted over the bridge and to tailor network management information for the network. ═══ 34. 8209 LAN BRIDGE ═══ The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge interconnects an IBM Token-Ring Network and an Ethernet* Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network. Systems and workstations with compatible protocols such as TCP/IP, OSI, SNA, NETBIOS, or IEEE 802.2 can communicate across this connection. The IBM 8209 handles all necessary conversion to route information between the dissimilar LANs. Token-Ring stations view the 8209 as a bridge to another Token-Ring source routing bridge. To Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 stations, the 8209 LAN Bridge is functionally transparent. Novell's Netware protocols (IPX) is supported. * Ethernet is a Trademark of XEROX, Inc. The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge when configured with the Enhanced Ethernet module will support up to a combined total of 2,048 entries in the Token-Ring and Ethernet address data bases. The maximum number of Token-Ring data base entries is limited to 1,024. The 8209 LAN Bridge requires customer supplied cables for connection to the LANs. Refer to Cable Orders under the Planning Information section for specifics. It is recommended the installation of the cable plant for connection to the Token-Ring Multistation Access Unit (MAU) and the Ethernet transceiver tap be installed by a qualified installer/technician. The interconnected LANs and LAN Stations must be compliant with the following applicable specifications in order to correctly operate with the 8209. IBM Token-Ring Network Operational MODE 1 - IEEE 802.5 and 802.2 Operational MODE 2 - IEEE 802.5 and 802.2 Ethernet Operational MODE 1 - "The Ethernet: A Local Area Network Data Link Layer and Physical Layer Specification Version 2," dated September 1983, and issued by Digital Equipment, Intel, and Xerox Corporations. Operational MODE 2 - IEEE 802.3 and 802.2 HIGHLIGHTS Bridges 4 or 16 Mbps IBM Token-Ring Network to Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 LANs Supports Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 simultaneously Appears as a source routing Token-Ring bridge to Token-Ring stations Functionally transparent to Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 stations Bridge configurations allow multiple protocols (TCP/IP, OSI, SNA, NETBIOS, IEEE 802.2 and IPX) Compatible with IBM LAN Manager program Suitable for tabletop or rack shelf-mount. The IBM 8209 LAN Bridge interconnects an IBM Token-Ring Network with an Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network. The 8209 handles the conversion necessary to route information between the dissimilar LANs. IBM and non-IBM systems and workstations using this connection require compatible protocols such as TCP/IP, SNA, NETBIOS, IPX or IEEE 802.2 in order to communicate. Basic bridge configuration may be done using switches on the attachment module or via a utility program shipped with the bridge. Additional configuration must be done with the utility. The IBM 8209 bridges the LAN physical layer differences by providing two LAN ports, one Token-Ring Network, and the other Ethernet/IEEE 802.3. The Token-Ring port operates at either 4 or 16 Mbps. When the 16 Mbps rate is selected, Early Token Release will be enabled, unless specifically disabled by the customer using the 8209 Utility program. When the 4 Mbps rate is selected, the Early Token Release function is not supported. The Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 port attaches to either an Ethernet Version 2 or IEEE 802.3 LAN. The IBM 8209 accommodates these two CSMA/CD LANs through two modes of operation. Mode priority of 1 is used for Ethernet Version 2, while Mode priority of 2 is used for 802.3 LANs. In order to support both types of LANs, an additional setting can be used for automatic mode detection. The mode of operation can be determined by configuration switches, or via a utility program. With the bridge set for Automatic Mode Detection, the 8209 will examine the data stream and dynamically adapt to the correct operational mode. This allows both modes to be used simultaneously. When going from a Token-Ring to an Ethernet LAN, if the destination address of the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 attached station is not in the 8209 transparent bridge database, the correct format cannot be dynamically determined. In this case, the 8209 will perform format conversion based on the setting of the "Mode 1/Mode 2 Priority Operation." The 8209 LAN Bridge maintains two data bases. One contains station addresses for Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 stations; the other contains Token-Ring station addresses and routing information. The Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 data base consists of static and dynamic entries. The Token-Ring data base, however, contains only dynamic entries. Static entries differ from dynamic entries in that they are configured, loaded, and retained in non-volatile RAM. Dynamic entries are created as part of the IBM 8209's "learning process" and are lost when power is removed, or when aged based on a configurable time period. OPERATIONAL MODE 1 MODE 1 is used to bridge Token-Ring to Ethernet Version 2 LANs. Above the physical layer, Token-Ring and Ethernet Version 2 differ in Media Access Control (MAC) and user Datagram services. The Token-Ring MAC layer complies with IEEE 802.5 while Ethernet uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect (CSMA/CD) and does not specify an 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) interface. However, a method has been developed to transport LLC based protocols on Ethernet Version 2. A type code of '80D5' is used by the PC-RT, OS/2 EE and LSP to indicate an LLC based protocol. This means that in MODE 1, the 8209 will support two different forms of conversion; one for TCP/IP and the other for LLC based protocol transport to/from an Ethernet Version 2 LAN. For TCP/IP, a Token-Ring to Ethernet Version 2 conversion will result in the 802.2 LLC fields being stripped from the frame. For the '80D5' LLC frame, these LLC fields will be copied into the Ethernet frames data field. All Ethernet Version 2 frames forwarded to the Token-Ring, with the exception of LLC protocol frames, will be transmitted using the SNAP header, thus all protocols can be supported in a backbone configuration. The preceeding statement, relative to protocols supported, is applicable to 'single or odd' numbers of 8209 environments only (non-backbone). When using 'paired' 8209's through a Token-Ring or Ethernet backbone configuration, the TCP/IP or non-TCP/IP protocol conversion becomes irrelevant because whatever MODE 1 conversion is done by the first 8209 will be reversed by the second 8209 of the backbone. A slightly more complicated process is used to convert and forward Ethernet frames onto the Token-Ring network. The 8209 retrieves Token-Ring routing information from its data base and inserts it into the frame. For TCP/IP, the Sub-Network Access Protocol (SNAP) format is used in the 802.5 frame. For LLC based protocols the 'standard' 802.2 LLC fields are carried forward to the 802.5 frame. MODE 2 interconnects Token-Ring and IEEE 802.3 LANs. This mode provides IEEE 802.5 (Token-Ring) / IEEE 802.3 MAC level frame conversion. Protocol layers above the MAC are transparent to the 8209 LAN Bridge and their data units are passed through without modification. SNA, NETBIOS, IPX or IEEE 802.2 sessions between stations on the different LANs are also supported in MODE 2. (However, MODE 1 could also be used if Ethernet Version 2 is required for other reasons.) The 8209 LAN Bridge transparently handles conversions for routing information between the two LANs, regardless of the operational mode (MODE 1 or 2). To stations on the Token-Ring Network, the 8209 appears as a source routing bridge to another Token-Ring. A station on Token-Ring uses source routing to communicate with any station on Ethernet/IEEE 802.3. The 8209 is functionally transparent to stations on Ethernet/IEEE 802.3, appearing as one or more native Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 stations. Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 attached stations can communicate with Token-Ring attached stations as if they were on the same LAN. After power on initialization, the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 data base is initialized with static entries. The 8209 enters the learning state, listens to all frames on the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 port and saves each unique source address in the data base. While in this state, the 8209 LAN Bridge will not forward any frames. After a few seconds the bridge leaves the learning state and begins normal operations. During normal operations the 8209 LAN Bridge updates the data base when a new source address is detected in an Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 frame. The Token-Ring data base is dynamically built during normal operations. Entries will be added to the Token-Ring data base only for stations with frames that are forwarded on the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 port. The 8209 LAN Bridge provides for a combined total of 2,048 data base entries. The Token-Ring data base portion of this total may be from 1 to 1,024. The number of entries in the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 data base, however, may range from 1 to 2,047. An Aging Timer will determine how long inactive Dynamic Entries will remain in the data base. Static data base entries are not subject to removal by the Aging Timer. Configurable filters are employed to reduce forwarding of unnecessary traffic. For example, filters may be set up so that only TCP/IP or NETBIOS traffic is forwarded to either port. This means that even though general broadcast frames are received from either port, they will be discarded if not identified as TCP/IP or NETBIOS. Filtering improves LAN performance for the LANs attached to the 8209 by ensuring that no degradation of the attached LANs occurs due to unnecessary traffic. The 8209 LAN Bridge ensures that no traffic is held in the bridge longer than the maximum transit time. If due to network congestion, the 8209 is unable to forward traffic and the traffic is held longer than permitted, it will be discarded. This function is useful for those high level protocols that generally retransmit a message unless an acknowledgement is received within a certain time. Each 8209 LAN Bridge has a unique MAC address assigned for each port. The IEEE universal address administration process will be used to assign the MAC addresses. The 8209 LAN Bridge is physically packaged in a table top configuration suitable for stacking or rack shelf mounting in industry standard racks. It is designed, manufactured and packaged to be easily set up and configured by the customer. The 8209 LAN Bridge is functionally packaged. The base unit contains Token-Ring functions and support for a single attachment to a Token-Ring LAN. The feature code specifications under the 8209 provide for two types of LAN attachments: An IBM Token-Ring connected to an Ethernet Version 2 or 802.3 LAN via the 8209 (#5156). The second attachment is for an IBM Token-Ring connected to an IBM Token-Ring via the 8209 (#8630). One of these feature codes must be specified when ordering the 8209. In most environments LAN Management functions and configuration customization are not required to install the 8209 LAN Bridge. The 8209 shipped configuration adapts itself to the installed environment. The 8209 LAN Bridge is shipped with configuration variables set as follows: Operational Mode: Automatic Mode Selection Enabled with Mode 1 Priority Operation Token-Ring Speed: 4 Mbps with Early Token Release Disabled Token-Ring LAN Number: One Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 LAN Number: 4080 Initial Bridge Number: Zero The basic configuration uses switches, advanced configurations use the utility program. To accommodate additional and more complex environments, two provisions are available. They are hardware configuration switches on the attachment module and an 8209 configuration utility program. The following options can be selected by hardware switches: Enable/Disable Automatic Mode Selection Mode 1/Mode 2 Priority Operation 4 or 16 Mbps Token-Ring Initial Bridge Number (0, 1, 2, or 3) Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 LAN Number. The Automatic Mode Selection function allows the 8209 to support both Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 (Mode 1 and Mode 2) at the same time. The determination for mode of operation is done dynamically. The 8209 provides Token-Ring Network LAN Reporting Mechanism, Ring Parameter Server, and LAN Bridge Server, Ring Error Monitor and Configuration Report Server functions (as defined in the "IBM Token-Ring Network Architecture Reference," SC30-3374). The 8209, acting as a logical LAN management agent on the Token-Ring Network, will: Keep and report statistical frame traffic information Accept and respond to requests for Bridge and End Station status Accept and respond to commands which change Bridge configuration parameters Report Ring Error conditions Report configuration changes. A utility program is shipped with the 8209. This utility runs under either PC DOS or OS/2 EE in an IBM PC or PS/2. The utility, acting as the controlling LAN Manager, allows the customer to set up filters, static data base entries, ring numbers, bridge number, and timers which control operation of the 8209 LAN Bridge. The PC or PS/2 communicates the configuration parameters to the 8209 over the Token-Ring or Ethernet. The 8209 Utility Program allows the customer to examine and modify the following parameters: Spanning Tree Parameters Operational Mode Enable/Disable Early Token Release Filter Definitions Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Static Database Entries Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Port Statistics Bridge Number Token-Ring LAN Number Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 LAN Number Plus all the functions listed under "controlling LAN Manager". In addition to configuration, the 8209 Utility Program provides a means to collect Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 port statistics which are gathered by the 8209. The LAN MANAGER, acting as the controlling LAN Manager, can set/reset these configuration parameters: Notification interval for performance statistics Bridge internal status Route active status Hop count Ring number Bridge number Enabled functional addresses Reporting functional addresses. The LAN Manager will be installed on a Token-Ring station and will establish a link to the 8209 LAN Bridge in order to communicate these management functions.

The LAMs come in two versions, one accepts IBM Cabling System (ICS) connectors and the other accepts RJ-45 connectors. The 8230 is switchable between 16 and 4 megabits per second (Mbps) and has a media access control (MAC) appearance on both the main and backup rings. The 8230 is shipped with copper main ring modules and can be upgraded to fiber by plugging in the Optical Fiber Converter Module Feature. The 8230 functions as a repeater in both directions. The 8230 will be purchased by customers desiring higher ring availability, via automatic reconfiguration, and better access control and asset management. The 8230, in most cases, will also allow for longer lobe lengths than the 8228. The following lobe lengths will be possible 4 Mbps Data Grade Media (DGM): 375 meters 16 Mbps Data Grade Media (DGM): 145 meters 4 Mbps Unshielded Telephone Twisted Pair (UTP): 100 meters (UTP that meets or exceeds IBM Cabling System Type 3 Media Specification) Systems management is improved by: Automatic wrap/reconfiguration of failing ring segment, a failing lobe, a LAM of the 8230 or the entire 8230. LAN Network Manager directed wrap reconfiguration of failing ring segment Support of LAN Network Manager's configuration table Support of LAN Network Manager's access and asset control. User interface LEDs and two character hexadecimal error code display provide power status, wrap state, 8230 status and insertion state of each LAM. User productivity is enhanced by: - The network being available more often because of reconfiguration - LAN Network Manager's configuration table allowing better use of resources. Power supply meets worldwide requirements The 8230's ability to wrap out a failure automatically, or upon direction from LAN Network Manager, in the physical wire or optical fiber cable, a failing lobe, a failing LAM or the entire 8230, improves the network's availability. The 8230's support of the LAN Network Manager's configuration table provides the adapter address, 8230 number, LAM number and lobe number to the LAN Administrator, so that a particular workstation can be quickly located for asset control or if there is a problem that requires maintenance or other attention. The 8230's support of the LAN Network Manager's access control allows an 8230 port to be disabled via direction from the LAN Network Manager, thus insuring that only authorized users are allowed on the network. The IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network Controlled Access Unit attachment connectors will support either IBM Cabling System, (ICS), or unshielded telephone twisted pair, (UTP), as follows: The Lobe Attachment Module comes in two versions: -- Connections for ICS -- Connections for RJ-45 In either case 4 Mbps transmission only is supported when using UTP The IBM 8230 base will function as a repeater in both directions and will have no lobe connections From one to four lobe attachment modules, each containing twenty lobe connectors can be added to the base unit. There will be a media filter allowing 4 Mbps transmission over UTP. One power supply meets worldwide requirements.

The station manager function allows the LAN Network Manager to determine the physical location of workstations. The 8230 may reside on a ring that also has 8228s, 8218s, 8219s, and 8220s. The 8218s, 8219s and 8220s must be operating as repeater pairs. The 8230 will not operate as one half of a repeater pair with these products. The maximum number of workstations capable of being attached to an 8230 is 80. The configuration reporting functions of the IBM 8230 are not compatible with any of the following devices when such devices are attached to any lobes of the IBM 8230 Lobe Attachment Modules. The devices will cause these IBM 8230 functions to provide invalid or incorrect data to the IBM LAN Network Manager. The devices are: Adapters that do not participate in normal Token Ring protocols, such as the neighbor notification process. Fanout devices which attach more than one adapter to a single lobe. The IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network Controlled Access Unit will require either a LAN Network Manager or the IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network Controlled Access Unit Maintenance Facility for maintenance purposes. The maintenance facility will be shipped with each 8230. The maintenance facility is for diagnostics and control and remote program updates in the absence of LAN Network Manager. ═══ 37. 8230 IBM TOKEN-RING NETWORK CONTROLLER ACCESS UNIT ═══ The IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Unshielded Media Lobe Attachment Module is an active LAM and is used to connect adapters operating at 16 megabits/second (16 Mbps) or 4 Mbps on Unshielded Twisted Pair Media to the main ring via the 8230 Model 002. This active combination provides customers with more cabling options to meet their networking needs, including Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and Unshielded Twisted Pair Media. The 8230 Model 002 and the 16/4 Unshielded Media Lobe Attachment Module (LAM) are used in conjunction with the 16/4 Mbps UTP Media Filters. The 8230 Model 002 is functionally and electrically equivalent to the Model 001 with the exception of the power supply which has an increased capacity necessary to support up to four 16/4 LAMs. The IBM 8230 Token-Ring Network Controlled Access Unit is an intelligent access concentrator which allows connection of from 0 to 80 workstations, via pluggable lobe attachment modules (LAMs), to a Token-Ring Network. The LAMs come in three versions, the LAM which accepts IBM Cabling System (ICS) connectors, the RJ-45 LAM which accepts RJ-45 connectors and the 16/4 UTP LAM, which accepts RJ-45 connectors and has active reclocking and retiming hardware. The 8230 is switchable between 16 and 4 megabits per second (Mbps) and has a media access control (MAC) appearance on both the main and backup rings. The 8230 is shipped with copper main ring modules and can be upgraded to fiber by plugging in the Optical Fiber Converter Module Feature. The 8230 functions as a repeater in both directions. The 8230 will be purchased by customers desiring higher ring availability, via automatic reconfiguration, and better access control and asset management. The 8230, in most cases, will also allow for longer lobe lengths than the 8228. The following lobe lengths will be possible: o 4 Mbps Data Grade Media (DGM): 375 meters o 16 Mbps Data Grade Media (DGM): 145 meters o 4 Mbps Unshielded Telephone Pair (UTP): 100 meters (UTP that meets or exceeds IBM Cabling System Type 3 Media Specification or EIA/TIA categories 3, 4 and 5) o 16 Mbps Unshielded Twisted Pair Media: 100 meters (UTP that meets or exceeds EIA/TIA Categories 4 and 5), 90 meters (UTP that meets or exceeds EIA/TIA Category 3). Additional highlights to the Model 001 are: o Increases user productivity by allowing quicker availability of information and better utilization of resources. o Enhances growth potential by providing customers more cabling options and flexibility to meet their networking needs including STP and Unshielded Twisted Pair. o Protects a customer's investment by providing more cabling options and flexibility to meet their networking needs including STP and Unshielded Twisted Pair. The IBM 8230 Model 002 and the new IBM LAM's capability to support 16 Mbps operation on Unshielded Twisted Pair Media will allow the customer to move more data in a given amount of time, thereby reducing response time. This will allow the customer to do more work on a given ring than is possible with 4 Mbps operation. The increased performance of 16 Mbps allows the customer to have quicker availability of information. Most customers that are currently operating a Token-Ring Network at 4 Mbps on Unshielded Twisted Pair Media will now have more cabling flexibility and options when upgrading to 16 Mbps networks. The 8230 Model 002 and 16/4 Unshielded Media Lobe Attachment Module in conjunction with the 16/4 Mbps filters will allow operation on UTP Media at 16 or 4 Mbps.

The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters consists of an network printer adapter and a software utility which resides on a LAN print server. The network printer adapter is approximately 5.75 x 7.75 x 1.5 inches, and contains one serial and one parallel port that can be used simultaneously to support two printers or a printer and a plotter. The network printer adapter works in conjunction with software running on the print server which redirects print data normally destined for a print server's parallel ports. The server based software uses IEEE 802.2 data link control flows to send data to either the serial or parallel port of the network printer adapter. The IBM LAN Connection can operate in PSERVER or PPRINTER mode with Novell Netware 2.2 or 3.11 connected to either an IBM Token-Ring (IEEE 802.5) or Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 or Eithernet II) LAN. The IBM LAN Connection has a user friendly interface which allows the network administrator to easily configure and maintain one or more network printer adapter on the network. A user submits a print job to a queue on the print server, as if the printer/plotter was directly attached to the server and the IBM LAN Connection redirector software intercepts the output before it reaches the server's LPT port, and redirects it to the network printer adapter. The appropriate printer attached to the network printer adapter receives the data and prints it, just as if this printer was attached to the server's original LPT port. The network printer adapter polls the NetWare network operating system (NOS) software, on the file server, to request print data from the server to the associated IBM LAN Connection port (parallel or serial). The IBM LAN Connection provides the above mentioned functions, features, and flexibility transparent to the originating application and user without noticeable degradation of spooled printing system performance. The IBM LAN Connection for Printers and Plotters supports the following data streams used by IBM desktop printers, e.g., IBM PPDS, HP PCL, IBM/HP GL, and Adobe PostScript.

The printer uses thermal/bubble ink jet print technology, which results in a very compact footprint and operation at a very low sound level. The 4770 IJ has the ability to print up to six lines on a check-size cut form and/or on three-inch wide journal roll paper as a journal record or tear off customer receipt. The 4770 IJ prints at speeds up to 145 characters per second (cps) in journal mode using the standard 15.2 characters per inch (cpi) font. In cut form mode, print speed is 131 characters per second. Throughput is approximately 2.5 lines per second. It attaches to personal computer workstations via the built-in parallel (Model 002) or serial (Model 001) interface. The 4770 IJ Transaction Printer supports both DOS and OS/2* environments. The 4770 supports some but not all of the IBM 4712 printer print control commands. 4712 applications not written to recommended procedures may give unexpected results when run on the 4770. A technical guide is available with programming information to assist independent software vendors to modify their software programs to support this printer. HIGHLIGHTS o Bi-directional high speed 145 cps printing o Disposable print cartridge with 12 nozzles, provides 10W x 12H or 7W x 9H print dot matrix o International characters supported by code page 850 o Up to 6 lines of print per cut-form o Standard 4 KB receive buffer o Supports down-loadable character sets and graphic logos o Small footprint, less than 60 square inches o Low noise level, 50 dba o 6.6 lpi cut-form spacing o 5.5 lpi journal spacing o Top slot for document insertion and removal o Tear bar for exiting journal paper o Separate AC to DC power transformer o Two operator panel LED indicators o LED flashing alarm for quiet signaling The IBM 4770 IJ Transaction Printer uses a plain paper thermal/bubble ink jet print-head which results in quiet operation and a compact design. The quiet operation of the 4770 is a feature that is very desirable in the teller banking environment. Just as the non-impact print technology, with its low noise printing characteristic, has taken over the office environment displacing the previously dominant impact wire-matrix technology, the 4770 is positioned to do the same for teller banking. The compact design feature of the 4770 will be highly valued in the teller banking environment. The printer takes up as little as 40 square inches of counter space. (60 square inches with the journal roll.) This addresses a problem frequently raised by bank tellers regarding the significant counter space requirements of impact dot matrix printers. Minimal training is necessary to use the 4770 IJ Transaction Printer. The unit provides visual feedback to prompt the user when printing is ready. Replacement of consumables such as roll paper and ink cartridge is accomplished by following a short procedure contained in the user reference guide. MODEL 001 Serial interface model. MODEL 002 Parallel interface model. The 4770 is a customer setup (CSU) printer. The CSU information is contained in the Reference Card which is supplied with the printer. The 4770 IJ Transaction Printer is a thermal/bubble ink jet printer specifically designed to print on forms used in bank teller transactions as well as retail point-of-sale. The printer uses the thermal/bubble ink jet non-impact print technology, which results in a compact footprint and operates at a very low sound level. The unit has the ability to print up to six lines on a check-size cut form and/or on three-inch wide journal roll paper for a journal record or tear off customer receipt. The 4770 IJ prints at speeds up to 145 characters per second (cps) in journal mode using the standard 15.2 characters per inch (cpi) font. In cut form mode, print speed is up to 131 characters per second. Throughput is approximately 2.5 lines per second. It attaches to personal computer workstations via the built-in parallel (Model 002) or serial (Model 001) interface. The 4770 IJ Transaction Printer supports both DOS and OS/2 environments. The 4770 supports some but not all of the IBM 4712 printer print control commands. 4770 applications not written to recommended procedures may give unexpected results when run on the 4712. A technical guide is available with programming information to assist independent software vendors to modify their software programs to support this printer. The 4770 IJ is a non-impact journal/receipt/validation combination printer with a very compact design footprint of approximately 60 square inches and a light weight of 3 lbs. Ink jet printing is accomplished with a proven disposable print-head with an encapsulated ink supply. Power is provided by a 12 Volts/500 milli-Amps wall-mount DC power supply. Printer power consumption is very economical at approximately 6 Watts operarting and 1 Watt standby. The 4770 IJ can print on a check-size cut-form and/or on a three-inch wide roll paper for a journal record or tear off customer receipt. The unit may be operated with or without the journal roll. Without the journal roll in place the depth of the printer is reduced by approximately 3.5 inches resulting in a footprint of about 40 square inches. The 4770 IJ attaches to personal computer workstations through the PC parallel or serial RS-232C Asynchronous interface. Speed is approximately 2.5 lines per second in parallel attachment mode. When printing the print-head prints at a rate of up to 1300 (journal) or up to 1170 (cut-form) dots per second. With Standard font this translates to print speeds of up to 131 characters per second for cut forms and up to 145 characters per seconds for journal. The unit comes with a standard 4KB of buffer memory. The 4770 IJ Transaction Printer in validation mode prints by clamping the cut-form, moving the print-head horizontally (bidirectional) during printing, and feeding the cut-form vertically to ready it for the next line of print. If printing is required on the journal roll, this is done after the cut-form is removed. One to six, 3.25-inch lines can be printed within a 1-inch high print area near the bottom of a cut-form. Cut-forms must be a minimum of 4.75-inch wide by 2-inch high. Supported fonts are Standard and Large. Widths are single and double. Double-wide, large and large bold are also available under program control. A pitch of 5.8, 7.6, 11.6, 15.2, characters per inch is selectable under program control to provide 16, 21, 32, 42 characters per line. For example using Standard font, printing 42 characters per line results in approximately 15.2 characters per inch, while Large font at 32 characters per line results in approximately 11.6 characters per inch. A modified IBM PC U.S. Character set, (code page 437 - 224 characters and symbols), and International character set (code page 850 - 224 characters and symbols) are standard. Additional charcters sets and fonts can be downloaded as font 1 (224 characters) and font 2 (96 characters) to the printer RAM. Bit image graphics at 144 dots per inch horizontally by 96 dots per inch verticvally provide the capability to print a logo or special symbols and graphics. Graphics and text may be mixed on a print line. Using Standard font, the 4770 IJ can print up to 131 cps in cut-form mode and up to 145 cps in journal. Using Large font, it prints up to 97 cps in cut-form mode and up to 108 cps in journal. These are burst speeds and do not include any time for head positioning or document movement.

IBM COLOR JETPRINTER PS 4079 ═══ Double click here to display picture The IBM(R) Color Jetprinter(TM) PS is the next generation of Color PostScript(1) compatible Inkjet printers, setting a new price and performance point for PostScript language color printers. The IBM 4079 emulates both the PostScript and GL plotter printing languages for compatibility with all leading color software applications. It supports printing on media up to 11" X 17" and prints at a resolution of 360 X 360 dpi. The IBM 4079 features superior color quality by combining its high resolution with an advanced screening technology called "ColorGrade(2)" to produce smoothly shaded color graphics and even, unpatterned color fills. The IBM 4079 comes with 4 M-bytes of RAM, upgradeable to 16 M-bytes. Advanced memory compression is built in to efficiently compress data, allowing the printer to handle complex jobs with only 1/3 the RAM normally needed to create a page. The IBM 4079 features excellent connectivity. With the optional Y-cable, the printer can be connected to up to three interfaces at once: serial, parallel, and LocalTalk (without the connector, one has LocalTalk and a choice of serial or parallel). All three ports are active and data sensing. The printer automatically buffers incoming data for each interface and it automatically switches between the PostScript and GL emulation modes. Users who wish to replace both plotters and PostScript color output devices, or who have software which supports a mix of these data streams, will have seamless plug and play operation, with no need to set dip switches.

The IBM 4079 printer provides high quality color printing on up to "B" size media. The printer uses a RISC processor for fast interpretation of the Postscript printing language. Automatic I/O and emulation switching are supported so that no initialization is required when switching software applications. The IBM 4079 printer supports the Postscript and GL languages making it compatible with all leading color software applications. Furthermore, the full complement of type 1 fonts are supported for document compatibility. An LCD operator panel provides access to set-up of printer parameters. The small size, light, low heat output and extremely quiet operation (44 db) of the IBM 4079 allow it to operate in space sensitive environments such as offices and small graphics art businesses, as well as crowded rooms where shared printers often reside. The IBM Color Jetprinter PS is the next generation of Color Inkjet printers, setting a new price performance point for PostScript-compatible color printing. While matching the feature set of more expensive color thermal transfer printers, the Color Jetprinter PS also provides advanced features such as large format printing up to 11" x 17". The Color Jetprinter PS truly makes a new mark in color printing. Print Quality: The superior color printing of the Color Jetprinter PS is generated by a combination of high resolution output (360 x 360 dots per inch) and an advanced screening technology called ColorGrade. The combination produces 144 levels of color to provide smooth color transitions which show virtually no banding. The high resolution produces very fine lines and smooth curves for detailed line art and technical drawings. The combination of fine lines and smooth color blends produce stunning color and halftone quality normally associated with 600 dpi printers. The Color Jetprinter PS is PANTONE licensed and uses 4 color process inks (cyan, yellow, magenta, black -- CYMK) to produce millions of brilliant color combinations. The use of true black as one of the primary colors ensures that the Color Jetprinter PS delivers crisp, dark, laser-quality text and stunning black fills. This is as opposed to some color printers which mix colors to produce black, often resulting in "muddy brown" instead of black. Performance: The Color Jetprinter PS uses an AMD 16MHz RISC-based full 32-bit processor to handle complex color pages. Advanced Memory Compression is built in to efficiently compress data, allowing the printer to handle complex jobs with only 1/3 the RAM normally needed to create a page. This means that the Color Jetprinter PS can handle more complex pages in a given memory configuration. The printer comes with 4 M-bytes standard and is upgradeable to 16 M-bytes. Usability: Superior ease of use is ensured by several design factors. PostScript compatibility (the de facto standard in color printing) and GL plotter emulation help ensure that the Color Jetprinter PS will work with all leading color application software. The built-in automatic emulation detection and switching ensures that users will be able to produce quality output of either PostScript or GL files without dip switch changes or cryptic emulation switching codes. The small size, light weight, low heat output and extremely quiet operation (44 db) of the Color Jetprinter PS allow it to operate in space sensitive environments such as offices and small graphics art businesses as well as crowded printer rooms where shared printers often reside. The Color Jetprinter PS has an intuitive, user-tested LCD operator panel which allows quick access to printer settings and functions, avoiding having to work with DIP switches and LEDs found on competitive products. The Color Jetprinter PS ships with software drivers for the industry's leading operating systems, including Apple System 6 and System 7 Operating System, Windows, OS/2 and AIX. Also included are screen fonts which match the fonts in the printer to ensure WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) printing of text. Media Support: The Color Jetprinter PS has excellent paper handling characteristics. The single paper tray is equipped to handle anything from envelopes to B size (11" x 17") paper, and sizes in between. There are no expensive options to buy for larger paper sizes. The Color Jetprinter PS also features a NO-U-TURN paper path for reliability. The Color Jetprinter PS prints on a wide range of media including plain paper, special coated paper, Inkjet transparencies and envelopes. Acceptable print quality can be produced on plain paper, but for your print jobs where print quality is critical, IBM 4079 coated paper is recommended. Connectivity and Shared Use: The Color Jetprinter PS is an ideal shared printer. With the optional Y-cable (P/N 1331655), up to three interfaces can be active at once; Parallel, Serial RS-232, and LocalTalk (for connection to AppleTalk networks). Each interface has its own receive buffer, allowing it to receive data while data is being processed from one of the other two interfaces. Thus, multiple users can connect and print to the printer simultaneously (hot ports). The printer also features SmartSwitch which allows it to automatically switch between the PostScript and GL emulation modes. Users who wish to replace both plotters and PostScript color output devices, or who have software which supports a mix of the two datastreams, will have seamless plug and play operation, with no need for dip switches or reconfigured drivers. The Color Jetprinter PS is fully compatible with the IBM 4033 LAN Connection device, which means that users have instant access to Novell, LAN Manager, OS/2 LAN Server, and AIX. Support for Fastbytes provides a performance advantage for users of the Color Jetprinter PS when combined with a 4033 LAN connection. Fastbytes allows speedy data transfer to clear the LAN of print data quickly for lower LAN processing overhead and better overall throughput. The Color Jetprinter PS comes with ink-out sensors for each cartridge, a tremendous benefit for both stand-alone and shared environments. When an out-of-ink condition is detected, the printer automatically pauses and displays a message informing the operator that a particular cartridge needs replacing. Upon replacement, printing resumes with no loss of data. The Color Jetprinter PS is the only color printer in this price category with this feature. Reliability: The reliability of the Color Jetprinter PS is backed with the strongest service support in the industry: One year on-site warranty service from IBM or remarketers! Add to this the NO-U-TURN paper path for robust media handling, PostScript compatibility, stunning color quality, excellent connectivity, small size and ease of use and you truly have a world class productive business tool.

The expandable memory (up to 9Mb) will increase productivity because of the improved performance achieved by facilitating scalable font cache and rastorized fonts, images and forms stored in the printer memory. Automatic emulation switching drivers provided with each 4029 printer allows users to change emulation modes from their workstations instead of using hardware switches on the printer, which is common in the industry today. This is especially important in a LAN or other shared environments. The IBM LaserPrinter 4029 Series printers are compatible with all the supplies, options and features (except memory and optional software emulations) of the other printers in the IBM LaserPrinter family. Customers will be able to choose from application software packages which take advantage of the attributes of the PPDS data stream. With the PostScript option installed, customers will be able to choose from over 600 PostScript application software packages which take advantage of the attributes of the PostScript page description language. With the PCL 5 Emulation option installed, customers will be able to choose from application software packages which take advantage of the attributes of the PCL 5 language. The Software Driver/Application Manual contains information about software application which support the different modes and emulations of the IBM LaserPrinter 4029 Series printers. This manual (SB40-0202) is included with every printer. A wide variety of field installable features enable growth in speed and function as required. For example the IBM LaserPrinter 6, can be field upgraded to an IBM LaserPrinter 10 which prints up to 10 PPM. Function enhancements include Post Script, PCL5, Envelope + Feeder, etc. Like the IBM LaserPrinter 4019 printers the IBM LaserPrinter 4029 Series offer customers the ability to switch emulation modes from their workstation. Supplied in the supplemental utility option is an Automatic Emulation Switching device driver. When using this driver, a mixture of emulation data streams can be accepted by the printer without intervention at the printer or host. The driver code simulates a different printer for each application data stream and is designed to work over the parallel and serial interfaces. Supplied with each IBM LaserPrinter 4029, models 020, 030, and 040, are optional screen fonts. Users who wish to take full advantage of the Windows (DOS) or Presentation Manager* (OS/2*) environment should install the screen fonts.

There are five new LaserPrinters with print speeds ranging from 10 to 16 pages per minute. Each model is built with a fast RISC processor, has a compact, space-saving footprint and can be configured with an optional snap-on duplexing attachment. PCL5 and PostScript(1) compatible emulations are standard SmartSwitch is built in too, so when using PostScript or PCL5, the printer can choose the right language for each job, automatically. Sharp 600 x 600 dots per inch resolution is standard, with Print Quality Enhancement Technology for smoother curves. PictureGrade(3) advanced screening produces sharp images with up to 100 levels of gray scale. Drivers for popular software packages are included, along with Lexmark's special driver for faster Windows printing. So is Lexmark's Quick Start utility to choose and load the right drivers, automatically. A large, intuitive, multi-line operator display makes installation and use easier. Inside these LaserPrinters, upgradeable code lets customers add new capabilities as they become available from Lexmark, without buying a new machine. Customers can also store frequently used forms, logos, signatures, and fonts permanently -- yet change them instantly, with optional flash memory. For LAN users, Lexmark's optional Internal Network Adapter (INA) cards work concurrently with multiple network operating systems. LocalTalk(4) cards are available for AppleTalk(4) networks also. Customers can even update LAN software remotely. Bi-directional communication lets a LAN Administrator check printer status from across the LAN. And the LaserPrinter connects simultaneously to serial, parallel, and optional network inputs, for maximum flexibility. Each new 4039 uses the same supplies. The long life print cartridge comes standard in the 10R, 10R/Duplex, 12R and 12L for up to 10,000 pages(5). The 16L comes standard with the print cartridge with marathon performance, offering customers up to 20,000 pages between changes. The 4039s also use the same paper handling options including a 100-sheet auxiliary feeder and an envelope feeder. And, each 4039 LaserPrinter is backed by the quality and responsiveness of Lexmark, the independent, worldwide company that manufactures IBM(R) personal printers, IBM typewriters, related supplies, and keyboards.

(R) IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States and/or other countries and is used under license. Lexmark has included PostScript and PCL5 compatible emulations standard on all 4039s. The customer can change back and forth between the two data streams automatically via the 4039 "SmartSwitch" and save new job set-up time. The customer should not have to make special provisions for the 4039 because they will "plug and play" in PCL5 and PostScript applications. IBM 4039 LaserPrinters are equally effective working for PC-compatibles, Macintosh(6) computers, other workstations, or a mix of all three. (6) Macintosh is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. Built-in parallel and serial ports equip IBM 4039 LaserPrinters to plug in to existing print-servers simply and quickly. Even better, optional internal network adapters enable these printers to connect directly to a LAN, which means close proximity to a print-server is no longer a requirement. You can place a 4039 LaserPrinter wherever it's best for you. Lexmark offers a choice of smart, internal network adapters (INAs) as options to interface with each of the three major network types: o Token-Ring o Ethernet o LocalTalk We also offer our network-loadable Quick Start utility that prompts you through installing, configuring and testing your new LaserPrinter -- even from a remote administrator's workstation. And you can easily change these associations at any time. Flexible connectivity enables the new IBM LaserPrinters to seamlessly support printing jobs from a variety of sources on a network -- using multiple paths and protocols, and accommodating different hardware platforms and network operating systems. Separate adapters are not needed because multiple protocols can be concurrently maintained with a single Lexmark Internal Network Adapter (INA). Our Token-Ring INA, for example, provides all the protocol support needed to print four different ways. Lexmark INAs provide protocol support for: o NetWare(7) o OS/2(R) LAN Server o Microsoft(8) LAN Manager o AIX(R) o TCP/IP (Available 4Q93) o Banyan(9) Vines(9) (Available 4Q93) o TokenTalk(10) (Available 4Q93) o EtherTalk(10) (Available 4Q93) (7) NetWare is a registered trademark of Novell, Inc.

The latest Lexmark advance in paper handling is the modular (customer installable) duplex option. This option allows customers to save paper and postage expense. The duplex option can be installed on any of the four 4039 models. The customer can duplex in both the LAN and the general office environment. The option is easy to install and can be moved to another 4039 printer when required, saving the customer from having to call a service person. Intelligent paper-handling design equips IBM 4039 LaserPrinters to efficiently meet the varied needs of users all around your LAN while keeping maintenance requirements low. Paper-handling features include: o Simultaneous support for up to three separate paper sources. o Automatic sensing of paper size (no requirement for multiple trays). o Large capacity and automatic tray linking to reduce frequency of refills. o Automatic "bin full" sensing to prevent overflows (available on 12L and 16L). o Automatic collating to keep documents in perfect order as they emerge. o Envelope conditioning for printing wrinkle-free envelopes (standard on 12R, 12L, and 16L). There are currently three major expansion opportunities: 1. The PCL5, PostScript data streams, and the fonts are on a customer replaceable SIMM. As Lexmark keeps pace with the industry, so can our customers. This is an alternative to replacing their printers, and allows for true investment protection. 2. The 1 or 2 Megabyte flash memory option allows customers using PCL to put forms, logos, signatures and fonts online saving the time to download from their PC or workstation. 3. 4039 internal network adapters can be upgraded online. Systems/network administrators will save time and can be assured that the updates have been made in each printer. The IBM LaserPrinter 4039 can grow as the customer's needs change. They just fill out the registration form supplied with their printer. They will then be notified of advances and expansion offerings at special introductory prices. The 4039 customers can use their printer longer, delaying printer replacement expense and related business disruption. This program is similar to upgrade programs successfully employed by applications developers. The advances in ease-of-use in the 4039 family result from three generations of Lexmark LaserPrinter development. Every aspect of installation, set-up and program installation has been maintained or improved while increasing the printing performance and flexibility of the 4039 printers. The IBM LaserPrinter 4039 Series offers Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) in both 300 and 600 dpi that yields smooth, natural looking edges and curves. The introduction of the 12 and 16-page per minute models positions Lexmark as the "complete" supplier of LaserPrinters for the customer. Combine these higher speed printers with Lexmark's new connectivity, expandability and paper handling and Lexmark can do it all! The 4039 duplexing can save the customer up to 50% of the cost of paper, storage, and mailing of multiple page documents while saving trees in the process. The new IBM 4039 Print Cartridge with Marathon Performance (up to 20,000 pages) reduces the amount of times a cartridges must be replaced. "Operation Resource" helps the customer dispose of the print cartridge safely and easily. The 4039 power saver mode can be selected to reduce energy usage and expense. Flash Memory: The IBM LaserPrinter 4039 family incorporates flash memory which gives the PCL user the ability to store forms, fonts, macros, signatures, and logos within the printer in non-volatile storage. Print jobs that require downloading of frequently used forms and fonts may be completed quicker and easier. Available in 1 and 2 meg options, flash memory maintains downloaded data when the printer is powered off or the memory SIMM is removed from the printer. Upgradeable Internal Network Adapters: Lexmark's Optional Internal Network Adapters are customer upgradeable via the network administrator, downloadable from diskette. This allows the network administrator to implement new/updated network protocols online without replacing printer hardware. Customer Replaceable Printer Microcode: The LaserPrinter 4039 printer microcode is stored on a customer replaceable SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module). By storing datastream, operator panel, and other advanced printer function on a SIMM, the customer has the ability to update their printer with the latest advances. Registered users will be notified of new advances at special introductory prices. This allows the customer to update printer function and software as new releases are developed. IBM 4039 Print Accelerator for Windows: The IBM 4039 Print Accelerator for Windows(11) is a 300 and 600 dpi print driver that dramatically improves print performance for Windows applications. The Print Accelerator is now incorporated as a feature within our standard PCL5 Windows driver. Only one driver has to be loaded, and the user may choose to operate in Print Accelerator mode or standard (PCL5) driver mode, depending on their operating environment. The 4039 Print Accelerator can be activated by selecting the "Print Accelerator" box on the Setup panel of the driver. The 4039 Print Accelerator incorporates Advanced Raster Technology, a Lexmark developed technique for achieving high speed Windows printing. The 4039 Print Accelerator also fully utilizes the Fastbytes parallel interface implemented on the 4039. Data transfer rates of nearly 400kb/sec have been measured on the parallel interface when using the 4039 Print Accelerator. PictureGrade: PictureGrade allows the user to easily produce optimal print quality of scanned images on the first try with no adjustments. The user can now avoid the difficult process of adjusting images and print parameters to achieve acceptable results. When printing grays and scanned images, laser printers use a process called digital halftoning to represent gray levels. In a halftone image, the factors affecting output quality are screen frequency, number of grays, and gray accuracy. All three of these factors may be maximized when using the Lexmark PictureGrade feature so that near photographic quality may be achieved. In 600dpi resolution and PictureGrade mode, the 4039 alters the standard default PostScript "setscreen" and "settransfer" functions to produce optimal print quality. Memory Management: Using Lexmark's advanced memory management system, the LaserPrinter 4039 will print complex graphics and text with significantly less memory. This enables all models of the 4039 family to print 600dpi without the user purchasing additional memory. Duplex Decurl: The LaserPrinter 4039 Duplex option includes a self-adjusting decurl mechanism that feeds 16 lb. to 24 lb. paper flatter and increases printer reliability. This results in fewer paper jams, duplexing within a wider variety of duplexing applications, and delivers a flat original to the user. Warranty Period: One year. Customer Setup: Yes.

IBM LASERPRINTER 4029-600 DPI UPGRADE KIT ═══ Introducing Additional 600 dpi Solutions for the IBM LaserPrinter 4029 A microcode change is required to the LaserPrinter 4029 to support these new 600dpi printing functions. This change has been implemented on all newly manufactured applicable models of the LaserPrinter 4029. Those end users who have LaserPrinter 4029's installed may purchase an upgrade kit containing the new printer microcode and diskettes containing the three newly announced drivers. Resellers who did not receive the diskette in their printer accessory kit may obtain the 4029 Print Accelerator/600 and/or the new Open Me First Diskette directly from Lexmark. See Transition Plan below for details. The IBM LaserPrinter 5E does not support 600 dpi printing and will continue to be shipped with the IBM 4029 Print Accelerator. Part Number Description 1374166 IBM LaserPrinter 4029-600 DPI Upgrade Kit for LaserPrinter 6 and 6P 1374036 IBM LaserPrinter 4029-600 DPI Upgrade Kit for LaserPrinter 10, 10L, and 10P ═══ 57. 3816 IBM PAGE PRINTER ═══ The IBM 3816 Page Printer is a multi-function, non-impact page printer of table-top design. It provides letter-quality text and all-points-addressable graphics at a maximum speed of 24 pages (impressions) per minute, and it is designed to produce an average usage of 40,000 pages (impressions) per month. The IBM 3816 has the capability to produce up to 80,000 pages (impressions) per month. However, continuous printing in this mode will impact product life. Text and full-page graphics are printed at 240 dots per inch. The IBM 3816 Page Printer's attachment capability allows the printer to offer high function printing in small, intermediate, or large host systems, along with being shared by large work groups or clusters, local area networks, and remote job operations. The customer has the flexibility to attach the 3816 to different host environments by removing one attachment feature and replacing it with another attachment feature. High capacity paper input and output are available features. A variety of papers and other print media may be used for printing including xerographic and non-xerographic papers, transparencies, card stock, and labels. MODEL 01S Simplex MODEL 01D Duplex Note: There is no model conversion from the Model 01S to the 01D. The IBM 3816 page printable area is limited within 4.2mm (0.165 inch.) of any page edge. Attempts to print to the paper edge may result in loss of information or print quality degradation within this boundary and paper handling degradation. The use of some non-xerographic papers may affect feed reliability or print quality. The print on a non-xerographic paper may appear lighter than on a xerographic paper. Also, non-xerographic papers that are printed on both sides of a page (duplex), may have a different level of darkness when one side of the page is compared to the other. IBM Personal Systems Attachment: o The PC Attach (#7651) is required. o IBM Personal System/2 via its standard serial port. o IBM PC AT (except AT/370) or 3270 PC AT, each with a Serial/Parallel Adapter (#0215). o IBM PC, PC XT (except XT/370), or 3270 PC, each with an Asynchronous Communications Adapter (#2074). Duplex support is provided by the ASCII datastream. To activate duplexing without datastream control, a duplex switch is available on the 3816 Operator Panel. The IBM 3816 Page Printer has been designed to be compatible with the IBM 5202 Quietwriter III. Printer evaluation by IBM indicates that the printer commands that perform correctly with the Quietwriter III should produce similar results when issued to the IBM 3816. Application software programs that are currently compatible with the Quietwriter III should also be compatible with the IBM 3816. A specific version of an application program may not take advantage of all of the IBM 3816 capabilities or the new features such as font selection, the Set Initial Condition (SIC) command, and the IBM Multilingual Character Set (Code Page 850). CUSTOMER SET-UP (CSU) Yes. Setup procedures for the customer will be shipped with each machine. The Marketing Representative must advise the customer of their responsibilities before receipt of the machine. Because of the weight of the machine and packaging, the IBM 3816 is shipped to a consolidation center, which will deliver and unpack the printer from its shipping packaging, and set the printer in place. The printer then becomes customer setup. HIGHLIGHTS o Up to 24 pages (impressions) per minute o Attachment Flexibility o Advanced Function Printing (AFP) Family Printer o Duplex Printing (Model 01D) o High Capacity Paper Input/Output o Printing on Xerographic and Non-Xerographic papers o Accommodates Average Usage of 40,000 Pages (Impressions) per Month o Quiet Operation (Model 01S - 53 dbA, Model 01D - 55 dbA) The IBM 3816 Page Printer offers 1.5Mb of memory for printer operations and resident font storage and 2Mb (Model 01S) and 4Mb (Model 01D) for page map storage. The IBM 3816 Page Printer operating software, fonts, and diagnostics are contained on a 3.5-inch 1.4Mb diskette, which is inserted into a diskette drive in the printer. The operating diskette differs with each system attachment feature. When attached to an IBM Personal System, the printer provides a high volume multi-user, shared environment for a letter quality printer in local area networks with cluster-shared PCs. The IBM 3816 emulates the IBM 5202 Quietwriter that provides an extensive list of personal system compatible software applications. Duplexing is provided by the ASCII datastream or by the duplex switch on the 3816 Operator Panel. The 3816 also supports Page Map Primitives (PMP) commands to control its many advanced functions such as font selection, rotation, duplexing, and vector graphics. Mono-spaced, proportional, and typographic fonts (up to 61 fonts) are shipped with the printer on the featured systems operational diskette. Fonts and code page support vary with system attachment. The IBM 3816 Page Printer has two input paper cassette feed slots. Labels, transparencies, and card stock feed from the top cassette only. There is one available top slot cassette type: o Primary Cassette: 550/525 cut sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper of any supported size (not intermixed), 150 sheets of transparencies or card stock, or 100 sheets of labels. There are two available bottom slot cassette types: o Alternate Cassette: 250/235 cut sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper of any supported size (not intermixed) or o High Capacity Paper Input (feature): 1200/1140 cut sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper of letter or A4 size. When two standard cassettes are used, the total input capacity is 800/760 sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper. When the standard top cassette and the optional high capacity paper input are used, the total capacity is 1750/1665 sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper. The primary cassette, alternate cassette, and high capacity paper input support duplex operation. There are two available output types: o Standard Output Tray: 550/525 cut sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper or 150 sheets of special media (transparencies, card stock, or labels), printed side down, in sequential order. Special media may experience stacking degradation. o High Capacity Paper Output (feature): 1400/1300 cut sheets of 75/80 g/m2 (20/21 lb) paper, 800 cut sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) legal size paper, or 300 sheets of special media (transparencies, card stock, or labels), printed side down, in sequential order. Stacking performance is enhanced over the standard output. For special media, stacking may be degraded. Paper handling and/or paper stacking capacity may not be acceptable with a relative humidity below 15 per cent (test for your application). The high capacity paper output supports a minimum paper weight of 70 g/m2 (18.7). Under software control, printed sheets or sets delivered into either output can be offset during stacking for easier handling and job identification. A user may elect to feed separator sheets from the alternate cassette using colored or legal sized paper. Also, a user may select the same paper cassette and use a marked form. The paper handling capabilities of the IBM 3816 include cut sheet paper, transparencies, card stock, and labels. Highest reliability and print quality are realized with xerographic papers. The printer will also operate satisfactorily with some non-xerographic office papers, although feed reliability and print quality might not be optimal. The IBM 3816, like the IBM 3812, offers the unique strategy of making key machine parts user replaceable supplies (toner, photoconductor/charge corona/filter, developer, fuser, and cleaning unit). This results in improved price/performance, lower service costs, and more machine up-time. The IBM 3816 supports the printing of bar codes via IPDS. Bar code symbology capabilities include 2 of 5 (Industrial, Interleaved, and Matrix), 3 of 9, MSI, UPC/EAN, and Codabar. Also, the IBM 3816 prints the OCR-A and OCR-B fonts with the same high quality as other type styles. Due to variability of bar code and OCR applications and scanning equipment, IBM advises that customers evaluate the IBM 3816 output in their application environment with the intended media. OCR printing is supported in simplex operation. The IBM 3816 uses an electrophotographic imaging process to produce clear, sharp images on a variety of paper sizes. Because this is a non-impact form of printing, the IBM 3816 provides quiet operation with less than 5.5 bels (38 dbA) - Models 01S and 01D in standby mode and less than 7.0 bels (53 dbA) - Model 01S, 7.0 bels (55 dbA) - Model 01D in printing mode. The IBM 3816 is capable of sustained throughput up to 24 pages/impresssions (sides of the page, printed or not) per minute (IPM) on 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 paper and up to 16 (15-Model 01D in duplex mode) pages/impressions per minute for 8.5 x 14 inch paper. Actual throughput can be significantly affected by the application, host environment, communication link, and nature of the print job. A maximum speed of 24 IPM can be achieved with a job composed of pages of simple text (up to 4,000 characters per page when fonts are resident (or have been loaded) in the printer's program memory). Throughput degradation will result based upon the complexity of the page/pages; a mix of text, graphics, and image will print slower than those of a single type of print object. Due to the inherent paper transport times when duplexing, the 3816 will generally print faster in the simplex mode as compared to the duplex mode of printing. The IBM 3816 will provide performance improvements over the 3812 that will range from two times (in simple text applications) to slight improvement (in complex applications). The IBM 3820 with its additional processing power provides greater throughput in complex job applications.

The LaserPrinter 4028 provides advanced printing capability for Automatic Identification (AI) applications where information must be printed in machine-readable form. With the appropriate programming support, the IBM 4028 can produce bar codes that meet the current standards of major industry groups such as: o Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) o Department of Defense Logistics Applications of Automated Marking and Reading Symbols (LOGMARS) o Health Industry Bar Code Council (HIBCC) o American National Standards Institute (ANSI) o European Article Numbering (EAN) o Uniform Product Code Council (UPCC) o US Postal Service, POSTNET only. The highest densities evaluated at the default element width for these bar codes are given below. Other densities, both higher and lower, are also available. *----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------* | | Average | Wide to | Maximum | | Bar Code Type | Narrow Element| Narrow Ratio | Character | | | Width (mils) | | Density (CPI) | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | Code 3 of 9 | 15 |2.00-3.00 to 1 | 4.90 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | Interleave 2/5 | 15 |2.00-3.00 to 1 | 9.00 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | MSI Plessey | 15 | 2.00 to 1 | 5.55 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | Industrial 2/5 | 15 |2.00-3.00 to 1 | 5.37 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | Matrix 2 of 5 | 15 |2.00-3.00 to 1 | 7.93 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | Codabar | 15 |2.00-3.00 to 1 | 5.74 | *----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------* | Code 128 | 15 | N/A | 6.06 | *----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------* The characters per inch data in the table above are calculated based on a narrow element width of 15 mils, and a wide-to-narrow ratio of 2.2, except for MSI, which has a wide-to-narrow ratio of 2. *----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------* | | Average | | Maximum | | Bar Code Type | Narrow Element| Magnification | Character | | | Width (mils) | | Density (CPI) | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | UPC/EAN | 15 | 1.15 | 9.95 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ *----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------* | | Average | Pitch | Maximum | | Bar Code Type | Narrow Element|(Bars per Inch)| Character | | | Width (mils) | | Density (CPI) | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ | POSTNET | 20 | 21 | 4.99 | +----------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ Bar code element width is selectable in 4-mil increments within a range from approximately 8 mils to approximately 53 mils. The ratio of wide-to-narrow elements is selectable in increments within a range from 2.0 to 1 to 3.0 to 1. Bar code height is selectable in increments up to a total height of the printable area on the media selected (page or envelope). The use of check digits and printing of human-readable information are optional where allowed by bar code standards. Because an element width of 8 mils is not compatible with UPC/EAN bar code, IBM does not recommend its use for those applications. When the 8 mil element size is selected, the user should be careful to select a font for the human-readable part of the bar code symbol which provides adequate readability. The 4028 is capable of integrating bar codes with standard text, large characters, optical character recognition (OCR), graphics, and logos where these elements are required in formating of envelopes, labels, and documents. The customer is responsible for the following: o Evaluation of 4028 bar code quality for application suitability on the intended media, including compliance with applicable industry standards and practices o Keeping the printer properly maintained o Using quality forms and label stock designed for use with laser printers o Replacing supplies to maintain minimum print contrast signal allowed for the user's application. For a successful automatic identification application, the customer should be knowledgeable of industry practices and recommendations for implementing quality control procedures for monitoring the printing quality of bar code labels and documents. For maximum bar code readability, the user should evaluate paper and label stock carefully for satisfactory printing and handling. Card stock is not supported. Bar codes printed by the 4028 are compatible with recognition equipment operating with visible (B633 nm), near-infrared (B800 nm), and infrared (B900 nm) light sources. Bar code printing and label formatting are supported on the System/36 via the IPDS Advanced Functions PRPQ P84094 (5799-CGK) for 5360/62 and P84095 (5799-CGL) for 5363/64. The IPDS PRPQ supports bar code, except POSTNET, Codabar and Code 128. For the AS/400, Data Description Specifications (DDS) keywords support bar code, except POSTNET. Bar code printing and label formatting are supported by the AIform* Program Offering. Although the 4028 will print bar code images, IBM does not warrant that a specific bar code reader will be able to read the bar code images as printed. Customers are responsible for determining the acceptability of the bar codes as printed for their specific application on the intended media. The IBM 4028 provides the following OCR character sets: o The OCR-A character set according to ISO Standard 1073/I amended with the 'greater than' sign (>) as defined by the German National Standard DIN 66008 Part 6. o The OCR-B Extended Alphanumeric Subset, Options Subset, and Erase Characters according to ISO Standard 1073/II amended with the lower case characters 'a diaeresis', 'o diaeresis', and 'u diaeresis' as defined by the German National Standard DIN 66009. The OCR-A and OCR-B printed characters are designed according to the ISO print quality standard 1831-1980(E) using the tolerance limits specified by the Y-range. Printing done within 8.64 mm (0.34 inches) of any page edge may not satisfy all OCR requirements. Since Code 128 has its own EBCDIC character set, Code 128 is not compatible with the OCR fonts. To print Code 128 bar codes, the customer should specify code page 037. Although the IBM 4028 will print OCR characters, IBM does not warrant that a specific OCR reader will be able to read the OCR characters as printed. Customers are responsible for determining the acceptability of the OCR characters as printed for their application environment on the intended media. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: Temperature: 15.6 to 32.2C (60 to 90F) Relative Humidity: 8 to 80 percent Wet Bulb: 22.8C (73F) Some reduction in print quality may occur at the extremes of this operating environment. With higher humidity environments (over 50%), envelopes may seal during printing. LIMITATIONS: The IBM LaserPrinter 4028 printable area is limited to within 4.1 mm (0.16 inches) of any edge of the media. Any information which is placed within 4.1 mm (0.16 inches) of the edge will not print (except A4 paper). For A4 paper, any information which is placed within 3.4 mm (0.13 inches) of either side or 4.1 mm (0.16 inches) of either the top or bottom of the media will not print. In addition to this unprintable area, it is recommended that information should not be placed within 8.6 mm (0.34 inches) of the top or bottom edge of any sheet of paper, or 10.2 mm (0.4 inches) from the left or 38.1 mm (1.5 inches) from the right edge of an envelope. Attempts to print in this area may result in print quality degradation. The IBM LaserPrinter 4028 can print up to ten pages per minute with the actual throughput dependent on the complexity of the page, application, host environment, communication link, paper size and nature of the print job. For optimum performance, use a label recommended for bar code applications. Refer to "The IBM LaserPrinter 4028 Introduction and Planning Guide", S544-4258, for more information. Either the manual input paper tray or the optional Envelope Feeder must always be installed on the printer to prevent light from reaching the print cartridge resulting in degraded print quality. Sonoran Serif (2) and Sonoran Sans Serif (3) type style families and character sets (code pages) are supported through font download for Model NS1 only. Times Roman or Helvetica type styles are substituted when Sonoran Serif or Sonoran San Serif type styles are selected with Model AS1.

The 3827 Page Printer has been tested using the bar code fonts in the the IBM Bar Code/Optical Character Recognition Licensed Program (5688-021). The IBM Bar Code/Optical Character Recognition Licensed Program (5688-021) contains the following bar codes: EAN 8 UPC E Interleaved 2 of 5 EAN 13 Industrial 2 of 5 Code 39* UPC A Matrix 2 of 5 MSI * Code 39 is a trademark of Interface Mechanisms, Inc. Due to the variability of bar code applications and scanners, IBM advises that customers evaluate the 3827 Page Printer bar code output in their application environment. Refer to the "IBM 3827 Page Printer Paper Reference" for bar code specific information. o The National Address Information Center of the United States Postal Service awarded POSTNET barcode certification to the 3827 on April 29, 1991. The 3827 is certified for the "9-digit" and "ABC" barcodes and for the "bottom right" and "address block" positions. The 3827 certification number is 9109400127. o The Advanced Function Image and Graphics feature improves text performance by up to 50% and image performance by up to 75% compared to an IBM 3827 without either it or the Performance Enhancement RPQ (8A5038). This feature supports the FS10 function set of IOCA data streams with printer image mapping functions, such as scale to fit, center and trim, and position and trim. This allows images to be trimmed and scaled as desired by the user. This feature also supports IOCA resolution mapping in the printer, which allows, for example, a scanned image to be printed at original size, even if the scanner has a different pel resolution than the printer. This feature supports IOCA decompression (IBM MMR, CCITT Groups 3 and 4, and ABIC) in the printer. For image-intensive applications this can provide a savings in host processor cycles, DASD space for applications files and spool data sets, and utilization of the channel or TP link to the printer. Finally, this feature responds to GOCA vector graphics orders at the DR/2V0 level, which eliminates the need for host rasterization of these objects prior to printing. Customers may need to order additional Pattern Storage to help achieve desired performance with image-intensive applications. The IM1 performance improvements are supported by Print Services Facility/MVS 1.3, Print Services Facility/VM 1.3, or Print Services Facility/VSE 2.1. Support for the FS10 function set of IOCA is provided by Print Services Facility/MVS 1.3 with APAR OY34885, Print Services Facility/VM 2.1, and Print Services Facility/VSE 2.1.

SPECIAL FEATURES TWO CHANNEL SWITCH (#4020) The Two Channel Switch feature allows attachment of the 3827 to a second channel interface. The 3827 can maintain a connection with either of the channels as a single device. Either dynamic or manual switching is selected at the time of configuration. Dynamic switching allows the host system to select either Channel A or Channel B automatically. When set in the dynamic mode, two-channel switching operates in one of two ways: o Tightly coupled multiprocessing o Single processor using both channels The two channels may be connected to the same host system or to two central processing units that use the same operating system. Manual mode allows logical connection to only one of the two channels at a time. Selection is done using the Enable/Disable switches on the 3827. The Two Channel Switch feature may be ordered with the machine, or as a MES, and will be field installed. PATTERN STORAGE FEATURE (2MB MEMORY #4030) OR (4 MB MEMORY #4040) Pattern Storage feature (2Mb or 4Mb) may be ordered in addition to the 2Mb memory shipped standard with each printer. The number of memory slots in the printer (4) governs the maximum number of pattern storage features that can be installed. 16Mb is the maximum amount of pattern storage. Total pattern storage beyond 4Mb is intended for, but not limited to, users of ideographic (double-byte) fonts. Note that the Decompression Performance Enhancement feature (#4202) requires one memory slot, limiting maximum pattern storage to 12 Mb. ADVANCED FUNCTION IMAGE AND GRAPHICS FEATURE (#4200) The Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature improves text performance by up to 50% and IM1 image performance by up to 75%, compared to an IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printer without either it or Performance Enhancement RPQ 8A5038. This feature supports the FS10 function set of IOCA data streams with printer image mapping functions, such as scale to fit, center and trim, and position and trim. It supports the FS10 subset of IOCA decompression (IBM MMR, CCITT Groups 3 and 4, and ABIC) in the printer and responds to GOCA vector graphics draw orders at the DR/2V0 level. It is able to correct the resolution of an input image to match the IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printer's 240 pel resolution. Customers may need to order additional Pattern Storage to help achieve desired performance with image-intensive applications. This feature includes the Performance Enhancement RPQ (#8A5038). See Feature #4210 for IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printers that already have RPQ #8A5038 installed on them. Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. DECOMPRESSION PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT FEATURE (#4202) The Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature improves performance of IOCA images that are compressed by the IBM MMR or CCITT Group 3 or Group 4 algorithm compared to the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature (#4200). The Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature (#4200) is a prerequisite for the Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature. Note that the combination of the Performance Enhancement RPQ (#8A5038) and the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature (#4210) is equivalent to the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature (#4200). The Decompression Performance Enhancement feature requires a memory slot in the printer, limiting maximum pattern storage (#4030, #4040) to 12 Mb. Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. ADVANCED FUNCTION IMAGE AND GRAPHICS FEATURE (#4210) This feature is for machines that already have the Performance Enhancement RPQ (#8A5038) installed. For IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printers without this RPQ, the performance enhancement of the RPQ and the function of this feature can be obtained with Feature #4200 (see above). Supports the FS10 function set of IOCA data streams with printer image mapping functions, such as scale to fit, center and trim, and position and trim. It supports the FS10 function set of IOCA decompression (IBM MMR, CCITT Groups 3 and 4, and ABIC) in the printer and responds to GOCA vector graphics orders at the DR/2V0 level. It is able to correct the resolution of an input image to match the IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printer's 240 pel resolution. Customers may need to order additional Pattern Storage to help achieve desired performance with image-intensive applications. Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. CABLES The 3827 Page Printer supports a maximum parallel channel cable length of 122M (400 ft) if it is the only control unit on the interface. For each additional control unit (up to a maximum of eight control units total) this measurement is reduced by 15 ft. The following items are available from IBM, and are included in the price of the machine. o Channel Interface Cable (2), Group #0185 o Optional Power Sequence and Control Cable (1), Group #1178 The following items are available from IBM, and are included in the price of the Two Channel Switch feature (#4020). o Channel Interface Cable (2), Group #0185 o Optional Power Sequence and Control Cable (1), Group #1178 o Optional Remote Enable/Disable Cable (1), Group #1178 Contact installation representatives for lengths required.

It provides the ability to produce output that is readable by Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) equipment primarily used by financial institutions to route and identify checks and other documents. The IBM 3828 offers customers who are now printing checks, bank control documents, remittance documents, or pre-authorized drafts the ability to reduce their costs and improve their responsiveness for these critical applications. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is a channel-attached, cut-sheet duplex, non-impact AFP printer that can run at up to 92 impressions per minute. The IBM 3828 has a 14-inch printhead with 240 picture element (pel) addressability and improved character edge smoothing enhancements for superior print quality. It supports the ANSI standard E-13B and ISO standard CMC 7 MICR fonts while retaining the AFP capability to print graphic images such as signatures and logos as well as OCR forms and bar-code documents. Special magnetic toner and a developer with extended performance replenishment are used for all printing by the IBM 3828. HIGHLIGHTS o Non-impact, Advanced Function Printer with MICR capability using the ANSI Standard E-13B font, or ISO Standard CMC 7 font. (An E-13B outline font is provided for job preparation.) o High speed (up to 92 impressions per minute). o Cut sheet paper with duplex (two-sided) printing capability from both the primary(lower) and secondary(upper) input paper supplies. o High capacity (average usage of 1,000,000 impressions per month, capacity of up to 2,000,000 impressions per month). o Supports Advanced Function Image and Graphics applications o 14-inch 480 pel (240 x 2) light-emitting diode printhead with compensation control for uniform high quality printing. o 240 picture element (pel) addressability with improved character edge smoothing and fine line enhancements. o High-performance printer control which has the ability to process more complex pages at rated speed than previous standard implementations. o Two-megabyte (2MB) pattern storage for image storage is standard with up to 16MB available. o Token-Ring Attachment. o Supports IPDS data stream. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is a high-volume, high-speed, page printer that can produce a complete range of high-quality print, including MICR documents. Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) is a font of uniquely shaped characters printed with magnetic ink and used primarily in the commercial banking industry for automated document interchange. The MICR characters printed by the IBM 3828 conform to the published standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer can print checks, explanation of benefits (EOB) and other payment documents in a single application step that can be centrally controlled for maximum security. This capability can improve the productivity of a company's check-writing applications by eliminating many of the separate steps in a semi-automatic process. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer can take blank or preprinted security paper and in a single pass of that paper, print customer data, company logo, bank routing data, authorizing signature and other company-to-customer messages to create a finished document ready for mailing. The IBM 3828 combines these capabilities in a single unit which requires a small floor space for high-volume production operation. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is another printer in the IBM family of cut-sheet and fan-fold printers supported by the common platform of IBM's Advanced Function Printing system. Those customers who are users of AFP will be able to quickly exploit the capabilities of the IBM 3828 through AFP's common application and system support. With AFP, the IBM 3828 can be used to backup other compatible IBM Page Printers running any applications while also enabling MICR unique applications. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer will allow a customer to print unique and varied documents that will present a high-quality company image to their customer base. A 14-inch-wide 480 pel printhead with a finely positioned set of light-emitting diodes works with the printer control to enhance the very dark print of the IBM 3828. Each individual pel has been fine-tuned to ensure a consistent uniform output across the full length of the printhead. New print enhancement algorithms smooth the edges of diagonal character lines (such as in the N) to give the characters a pleasing, crisp appearance. The new algorithms automatically turn off while printing images that would loose detail if the edges were smoothed. With the 14-inch printhead, a pair of 7-inch documents can be printed side-by-side on a single sheet of paper to help reduce customer printing and mailing costs. The processing power of the IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer has been improved to help reduce the time required to prepare pages for print. Faster microprocessors, faster control and pattern storage, and more streamlined microcode all contribute to allow the IBM 3828 to run more complex jobs at or near rated speed. Complex jobs are those that use many characters per page, have many positioning controls and font changes per page, or print large images and logos. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR printer supports bilevel IOCA FS10 data streams with printer image mapping functions, such as scale to file, center and trim, and position and trim. This allows images to be trimmed and scaled as desired by the user. The 3828 also supports IOCA resolution mapping in the printer, which allows, for example, a scanned image to be printed at original size, even if the scanner has a different pel resolution than the printer. The 3828 supports IOCA decompression (MMR, CCITT Groups 3 and 4, and ABIC) in the printer. For image-intensive applications this can provide a savings in host processor cycles, DASD space for applications files and spool data sets, and utilization of the channel or TP link to the printer. Finally, the 3828 responds to GOCA vector graphics orders at the DR/2V0 level, which eliminates the need for host rasterization of these objects prior to printing. To help improve the productivity of an enterprise's print resource, the IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer can operate continuously in simplex or duplex mode as duplex printing is supported from both paper input supplies. This will help keep the IBM 3828 at a high level of productive use during critical print windows. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is a high-speed, cut-sheet printer that supports Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) print at speeds up to 92 impressions per minute. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is supported by IBM's AFP software and is compatible with the 3816, 3820, 3825, 3827, and 3835 family of IBM page printer products. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer will print MICR characters of the E-13B font, designed to the ANSI specifications, and an outline font of the E-13B characters to aid in document design and test. It will also print MICR characters of the CMC 7 font designed to the ISO specifications. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer has an addressability of 240 x 240 picture elements (pels) or dots-per-inch (dpi) extending the length of the 14-inch 480 pel light emitting diode (LED) printhead. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer prints both fixed and proportional spaced fonts from 4 to 72 points (1/18 to 1 inch). Only one copy of a font is required for all orientations (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees) in the printer as the fonts are oriented for printing at print time. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer has two input drawers that can be individually selected by host software and each supports single pass duplex printing. The output stacker supports offset stacking (jogging) on command from host software. If both input sources have paper identified by the same name and the pre-stacker station is properly implemented then the IBM 3828 will support continuous operations. o Input Paper Capacity - Upper paper supply - 1,000 sheets of 20 lbs. bond - Lower paper supply - 2,500 sheets of 20 lbs. bond o Output Paper Capacity - Pre-stacker station - 50 sheets of 20 lbs. bond - Output stacker - 2,500 sheets of 20 lbs. bond The IBM 3828 supports a wide variety of commonly accepted cut sheet paper, preprinted forms, security paper, prepunched paper, perforated paper and certain label stock. The IBM 3828 supports the following paper sizes: 8.0 x 10.0 inches (203 mm x 254 mm) 8.0 x 10.5 inches (203 mm x 267 mm) Letter 8.5 x 11.0 inches (216 mm x 279 mm) A4 8.3 x 11.7 inches (210 mm x 297 mm) 8.5 x 13.0 inches (216 mm x 330 mm) Legal 8.5 x 14.0 inches (216 mm x 356 mm) The following paper weights are supported by the IBM 3828: o Primary paper supply (lower drawer) - Simplex - 20 to 32 lb. bond (75 to 120 g/sqm) - Duplex - 20 to 28 lb. bond (75 to 105 g/sqm) o Secondary paper supply (upper drawer) - Simplex - 20 to 52 lb. bond (70 to 199 g/sqm) - Simplex - 90 and 110 lb. index (163 or 199 g/sqm) - Duplex - 20 to 28 lb. bond (75 to 105 g/sqm) The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer monthly print volume will be in the range of 500K to 2.0M impressions per month with the average expected to be 1M. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer is managed by a high performance printer control, that is functionally common to IBM's family of high speed printers and helps ensure cross-printer compatibility within hardware limits. The IBM 3828 contains 2MB of pattern storage to store font and image resources required to print a page. If required, up to 16MB of additional pattern storage is available to accommodate large resource requirements and to provide more storage to help maintain the IBM 3828's print speed. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer includes the Advanced Function Image and Graphics functions. For print applications running below rated speed, this capability improves text performance by up to 50 percent and IM1 image performance by up to 75 percent compared to previous IBM printers, such as the IBM 3827 Advanced Function Page Printer without either the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature (#4200) or the Performance Enhancement RPQ (8A5038). It supports bilevel IOCA FS10 data streams with printer image mapping functions, such as scale to fit, center and trim, and position and trim. It supports IOCA decompression (MMR, CCITT Groups 3 and 4, and ABIC) in the printer. It responds to GOCA vector graphics orders at the DR/2V0 level and is able to correct the resolution of an input image to match the IBM 3828's 240 x 2 pel resolution. Customers may need to order additional Pattern Storage to help achieve desired performance with image-intensive applications. Bilevel IOCA FS10 data streams are supported by Print Services Facility/MVS V1 R3.0, Print Services Facnility/VSE V2 R1.0, Print Services Facility/VM V2 R1.0, and (unless otherwise announced) by later versions and releases of these licensed programs. GOCA DR/2V0 is supported by Print Services Facility/MVS V2 R1.0, Print Services Facility/VM V2 R1.0, and (unless otherwise announced) later versions and releases of these licensed programs. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer's primary operator interface is through the operator display console and keyboard. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer takes approximately 19.0 square feet (1.77 square meters) of floorspace. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer may be attached directly to parallel block multiplexer channels, or to ESCON channels operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode through an IBM 9034 ESCON Converter Model 1. It may be attached to an OS/2 system or Local Area Network using Print Services Facility/2. It may also be attached remotely to an MVS, VM, or VSE system via an SDLC line or Token-Ring using either Print Services Facility/2 or Remote PrintManager. Finally, the 3828 may be attached remotely to an OS/400 system via Token-Ring using either Print Services Facility/2 or Remote PrintManager. The IBM 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer will print documents for use in OCR and bar code applications. The IBM 3828 Printer has been tested using OCR and bar code fonts in the IBM Bar Code/Optical Character Recognition Licensed Program (5688-021). The following OCR character sets are included: o OCR-A character set according to ISO Standard 1073/1 amended with the "greater than" sign as defined by the German National Standard DIN 66008 part 6. o OCR-B extended alphanumeric subset, options subset, and erase characters according to ISO Standard 1073/2 The following bar codes are included in the program product: o EAN 8 and EAN 13 o UPC A and UPC E o Industrial 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, 2 of 5 Interleaved o 3 of 9 o MSI Plessey o Code 128 Because of the variability of OCR readers and Bar Code scanners, it is advisable to evaluate the IBM 3828 output in the customer's application environment.

It uses an electrophotographic process on a variety of paper sizes to print at speeds up to 92 impression per minute. The print density is 480 x 480 pels per square inch; the 240 x 240 pels source is doubled and enhanced in the printer. Standard features for the 3829 include: o 4MB pattern storage o Advanced Function Image and Graphics o Duplex printing from both paper supplies o Skew detect o Operator Alert Light The IBM 3829 is a member of the advanced function printer family including the 3820 Page Printer, the 3825 Page Printer, the 3827 Page Printer, the 3828 Advanced Function MICR Printer, the 3835 Page Printer and the 3900 Advanced Function Printer. Advanced Function Printing software support is available for the 3829 AF Printer under MVS, VM, VSE, OS/2, and AIX/6000. HIGHLIGHTS o Non-impact, Advanced Function Printer. o High speed (up to 92 impressions per minute). o Cut sheet paper with duplex (two-sided) printing capability from both the primary(lower) and secondary(upper) input paper supplies. o 14-inch 480 pel (240 x 2) light-emitting diode printhead with compensation control for uniform high quality printing. o 240 picture element (pel) addressability with improved character edge smoothing and fine line enhancements. o Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) support. o High-performance printer control unit which has the ability to process more complex pages at rated speed than previous standard implementations. o 4MB pattern storage for image storage is standard. Up to 16MB available (12MB if Decompression Performance Enhancement feature (#4202) is installed). o High capacity (recommended monthly usage is 500K to 1.5M impressions per month. With the capacity of up to 2M impressions per month). o Operator Alert facility. o Token-Ring Attachment RPM or PSF/2. o Supports IPDS data stream. The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer is a channel-attached, nonimpact, all-points addressable printer that uses a 14-inch light-emitting diode (LED) printhead and an eletrophotographic process to create printed output. The print density is 480 x 480 picture elements (pels) per square inch. The console is used to display messages and operator instructions. The keyboard, is used to access various operator procedures and to enter information. The 3829 has two input paper supplies. The lower paper supply can hold approximately 2500 sheets of 20 lb paper. The upper paper supply can hold approximately 1000 sheets of 20 lb paper. The stacker holds up to 2500 sheets of 20 lb paper. Printed jobs can be offset from each other to allow for easy separation of jobs. The Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature (DPE, #4202) supports printer hardware image decompression of image object content architecture (IOCA) data streams that were compressed using standard compression routines - CCITT Group 3 and 4 and IBM MMR. The DPE capability improves the decompression performance offered with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Function by up to eight times. The use of DPE for decompressing IOCA images in the printer has printer performance implications that depend upon the customer application environment - the total number of image pages to be printed in a given period of time, the ratio of image pages to text pages, the complexity of the images and text, the compression algorithm and compression ratio, along with the amount of printing for one given image printing application as related to the total print requirement. Additional Pattern Storage (#4030 or #4040) may be required for best performance. The operational characteristics of the 3829 are improved by the addition of the Operator Attention Light; the customer may select a flashing or non-flashing mode for indication that operator attention is required. This Operator Attention Light sits on the rear part of the operator console, providing 360 degree visibility from the highest point on the printer. With the Advanced Function Image and Graphics function included as standard on all 3829s and with the Decompression Performance Enhancement (#4202) feature, the 3829 enables the printing of applications that produce the IBM Systems Applications Architecture* IOCA image or GOCA graphics formats. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose between decompressing CCITT Group 3 or 4, or IBM MMR compressed images in the processor or in the printer; the choice of storing either compressed or decompressed images on the spool; and the rasterizing of GOCA graphics orders in the processor or sending them to the 3829 for rasterizing. NOTE: The 3829 AFIG and DPE performance predictions will be the same as the IBM 3827 Page Printer. See the Large System FLASH #9242 for the latest information. Job turnaround may be reduced as a result of faster printer throughput with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics function, or Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature. The current applications that create graphics require that these graphics be rasterized in the processor before being sent to the printer. With the use of the Advanced Function Image and Graphics function, standard on all 3829s, GOCA graphics orders may be sent directly to an IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer and rasterized in the printer control unit, saving processor time. The 3829 will meet the customers needs for high print quality in central and distributed printing. Some distributed applications require the heavy duty, high reliability of a high quality 480 pel cut sheet duplex printer. The 3829 is positioned to meet their needs. With the use of AFIG and DPE, the adherence to Systems Application Architecture/SAA* and the added image performance, the customer is assisted in improving application development. The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer uses existing hardware and software attachment interfaces.

The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer will allow a customer to print unique and varied documents that will present a high-quality company image to their customer base. The 14-inch-wide printhead with a finely positioned set of light-emitting diodes works with the printer control to enhance the very dark print of the IBM 3829. Each individual pel has been fine-tuned to ensure a consistent uniform output across the full length of the printhead. New print enhancement algorithms smooth the edges of diagonal character lines (such as in the N) to give the characters a pleasing, crisp appearance. The new algorithms automatically turn off while printing images that would lose detail if the edges were smoothed. With the 14-inch printhead, a pair of 7-inch documents can be printed side-by-side on a single sheet of paper to help reduce customer printing and mailing costs. Edge smoothing is the smoothing of 1xn steps along the edges of print. Fine fidelity protect refers to the protection of fine details in the print, consisting primarily of avoiding the fill-in of single-pel white areas while allowing the solid areas to be developed. It also includes the extra exposure of single-pel features. This is of greatest benefit in the reproduction of font serifs and the preservation of the details of narrow intersections of lines. The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer has two input drawers that can be individually selected by host software and each supports single pass duplex printing. The output stacker supports offset stacking (jogging) on command from host software. o Input Paper Capacity - Upper paper supply - 1,000 sheets of 20lbs bond - Lower paper supply - 2,500 sheets of 20lbs bond o Output Paper Capacity - Output stacker - 2,500 sheets of 20lbs bond The IBM 3829 supports a wide variety of commonly accepted cut sheet paper, preprinted forms, security paper, prepunched paper, perforated paper, and certain label stock.

The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer is managed by a high performance printer control, that is functionally common to IBM's family of high speed printers and helps ensure cross-printer compatibility within hardware limits. The 3829 contains 4MB of pattern storage to store font and image resources required to print a page. If required, up to 16MB of pattern storage is available to accommodate large resource requirements and to provide more storage to help maintain the 3829's print speed. The IBM Advance Function Printer's primary operator interface is through the operator display console and keyboard. The IBM 3829 Advanced Function Printer takes approximately 19.0 square feet (1.77 square meters) of floor space.

Beyond increasing the speed from 88 to 91 impressions per minute, the Enhanced Model 2 provides, as standard, the control unit functions of the Enhanced 3900 Page Printer. These include 4 megabytes (4MB) of pattern storage, increased control unit processing speed, the enhanced operator alert facility, fuser preheat platen temperature control function, and the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Feature. The Enhanced Model 2 also provides improved print quality by providing greater optical density (darker text and greater uniformity of solid area fill) and providing for print quality enhancement (edge smoothing, fine details, and boldness control). The print quality enhancement hardware will not be available at the general availability of the 3835-002. All 3835-002s shipped prior to the general availability of the print quality enhancement hardware will be automatically scheduled for the addition of this hardware after general availability. An installed 3835 Model 1 may be upgraded to the enhanced 3835 Model 2. The upgrade will be available June 30, 1993 thru June 30, 1994. The model upgrade includes replacement of the control unit and changes to the print engine. Any features or RPQs installed on the 3835 should be reviewed with a Pennant Systems printing specialist to verify that the upgraded 3835 Model 2 retains the same capabilities as the 3835. HIGHLIGHTS Control Unit Function: o 3900 Control Unit compatibility (Function or Features) - Increased control unit performance - Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG) - Print-to-perforation capability with roll-feed input - Support for print lengths up to 17 inches - 4MB of pattern storage - An enhanced operator alert facility. - Decompression Performance Enhancement (DPE) (Feature) - Pre/Post Processing Interface (Feature) - Advanced Function Post-Processing Interface (Feature) o Print quality enhancement o A stacker-end control panel for improved operational characteristics - STOP - READY - NPRO (Nonprocess Run Out) - ONE PAGE (page advance) - Preheat temperature control. Print Engine Function: o New dual roll developer for improved optical density with greater uniformity on solid area fill ( New toner and developer). o A preheat platen temperature control to allow the user flexibility in paper stock choices. The IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer offers a wider range of applications with the improved optical density and greater uniformity of solid area fill, and through the new capabilities of print-to-perforation, 17-inch print length support, and advanced function post-processing. With the 3900-compatible Pre/post-processing Interface features available on the 3835-002, #4710 for normal pre/post-processing and #4720 for advanced function post-processing (for example, additional printing with non-electrophotographic technology, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) impact printing, selectable color printing, and so on), the customer can move into new application arenas. (Note: If MICR fonts are required, please refer to the "Specify Features" section of the Sales Manual.) The Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature (DPE, #4202) supports printer hardware image decompression of Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) data streams that were compressed using standard compression routines - CCITT Group 3 and 4 and IBM MMR. The DPE capability improves the decompression performance offered with the Advanced Function Image and Graphics Function by up to 8 times. The use of DPE for decompressing IOCA images in the printer has printer performance implications that depend upon the customer application environment - the total number of image pages to be printed in a given period of time, the ratio of image pages to text pages, the complexity of the images and text, the compression algorithm and compression ratio, along with the amount of printing for one given image printing application as related to the total print requirement. Additional Pattern Storage (#4030 or #4040) may be required for best performance. The operational characteristics of the 3835-002 are improved by the addition of the enhanced Operator Alert, which includes an audible alarm with volume control, a flashing attention light located on top of a pedestal, approximately 8 inches above the top of the printer, and a jack/plug for remote attachment of operator attention equipment (using customer-supplied equipment and power). With the Advanced Function Image and Graphics function included as standard on all 3835-002s and with the Decompression Performance Enhancement (#4202) feature, the 3835-002 enables the printing of applications that produce the IBM Systems Applications Architecture* IOCA image or GOCA graphics formats. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose between decompressing CCITT Group 3 or 4, IBM MMR or IBM ABIC compressed images in the processor or in the printer; the choice of storing either compressed or decompressed images on the spool; and the rasterizing of GOCA graphics orders in the processor or sending them to the 3835-002 for rasterizing. The following table gives approximate performance information. Data given is for page performance, not APPLICATION performance. If an application is composed of pages that follow similar characteristics, application performance closely matches page performance. However, if an application is composed of a mix of pages, application performance may not resemble page performance at all. For a mixed-page application, performance numbers for the various types of pages in the mix cannot be "averaged" together because of complex buffering schemes used to maximize performance. In general, if text pages are mixed with image or graphics pages, APPLICATION performance can be significantly better than the image or graphic PAGE performance.

(3) 3835-002 performance analysis done with 16 MB of Pattern Storage n/s Not supported. --- Not currently available. Job turnaround may be reduced as a result of faster printer throughput with the use of the new 3900 control unit capability, Advanced Function Image and Graphics function, or Decompression Performance Enhancement Feature. With the improved pre/post-processing interfaces available on the IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer, the customer may achieve greater throughput and reliability than is achievable with normal box paper input. The current applications that create graphics require that these graphics be rasterized in the processor before being sent to the printer. With the use of the Advance Function Image and Graphics function, standard on all 3835-002s, GOCA graphics orders may be sent directly to an IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer and rasterized in the printer control unit, saving processor time. By enabling additional applications and improving performance, the IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer, will allow the customer to expand his application base. With the use of AFIG and DPE, the adherence to Systems Application Architecture (SAA*) and the added image performance, the customer is assisted in improving application development. The ability to order an upgrade MES for current 3835s protects the customer's investment in the 3835. The 3835-002 is a high-speed, continuous form, page printer that operates at speeds up to 91 impressions per minute (IPM). The 3835-002 is supported by IBM's Advanced Function Printing* (AFP*) software. The 3835-002 has an addressability of 240 x 240 pels or dots per inch (DPI). The print darkness will exceed that of the IBM 3800, particularly in dark area fill. Print contrast controls, similar to those on the IBM 3900, allow the operator to adjust print darkness. The IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer print quality enhancement consists of three items: edge smoothing, fine fidelity protect, and boldness control. Edge smoothing is the smoothing of 1xn steps along the edges of print, similar to that done on the IBM 3825 and 3828 Advanced Function Printers. Fine fidelity protect refers to the protection of fine details in the print, consisting primarily of avoiding the fill-in of single-pel white areas while allowing the solid areas to be developed. It also includes the extra exposure of single-pel features. This is of greatest benefit in the reproduction of font serifs and the preservation of the details of narrow intersections of lines. Boldness control allows control over the print boldness that is independent of the settings of the machine parameters so that those parameters can be adjusted to compensate for other changing conditions within a printer without affecting the boldness quality which the user desires. This allows for bolder-looking print without using extra toner and for darker solid areas without filling in the fine white details. The 3835-002 has higher print density (minimum of 1.2 optical density at C5) than the 3835. The solid areas are also darker and more uniform than previous continuous form printers. The 3835-002 is capable of printing up to 1.3 million feet of paper per month. PAPER HANDLING o Input fanfold The 3835-002 will have a paper supply capacity of 16 inches (406 mm) of fanfold paper. o Output fanfold The 3835-002 will have a pendulum type of stacker with a maximum paper capacity of up to 13 inches (330 mm) in height. The actual height may be operator adjusted to limit the weight of the output stack of paper. The stacker can only stack paper with lengths between 3 and 14 inches (76 and 356 mm). The stacker has a motor-driven swing arm which forces the paper to fold in the proper direction. Synchronization with the fold in the paper is set up by a switch accessible from the front of the printer. This mechanism is used to improve stacking performance for some kinds of papers that have inner perforations, holes, and label forms, and so on. The ability to attach pre- and post-processing equipment (#4710 and #4720) allows additional input and output capabilities. PAPER SIZES o Width: 6.5 to 16 inches(165 to 406 mm) (continuously variable). The maximum print width is 15 inches (381 mm). o Length: 3 to 14 inches (76 to 356 mm) (in 1/3 and 1/2 inch increments) are supported by the standard stacker. Additionally, a forms length of 17 inches (431.8 mm) may be printed but cannot be stacked with the standard stacker. Feature #4710 must be installed to disable the standard stacker when printing this form length. Suitable post-processing equipment is recommended for the latter form length. NOTE: Lengths less than 7 inches (178 mm) are folded in multiples by the forms supplier and by the stacker. (For example, forms 3.5 inches in length may be folded every 7 inches.) Paper weights between 16 and 42 pound (60 and 160 g/m2) bond are supported. The 3835-002 can print on normal fanfold paper, roll-feed paper, preprinted forms, and some label stock. It should run a broader range of labels than the IBM 3800 printer due to the 3835's teflon coated, silicon wicked, hot roll fuser. The wicking improves the release properties of the hot roll and helps to prevent detaching of labels on to the hot roll. IBM advises that customers evaluate label stock on the 3835 prior to committing to large label orders. Certain applications, for example label printing, may cause excessive wear or premature failure of some components of the 3835-002 and, in these situations, a customer with maintenance provided under the IBM Customer Agreement and the Attachment for Rental of IBM Machines may be liable for increased maintenance charges. The 3835-002 can be used to print optical character recognition (OCR) and bar code documents. The 3835-002 has been tested using OCR A, OCR B, and bar code fonts of the IBM Bar Code/Optical Character Recognition Licensed Program (5688-021). The OCR and bar code produced by the 3835-002 is intended to meet OCR and bar code printing standards. However, because of the variability of OCR readers and bar code scanners, IBM advises that customers evaluate the 3835-002's OCR and bar code output in their application environment. The 3835-002 supports Postal Bar Codes (requires local certification by USPS). Refer to the "3835-002 Forms Design Reference" (GA32-0247) for more detailed OCR and bar code information. COMMON CONTROL UNIT (CCU) FUNCTIONS Character Generator: APA Font Downloading: Yes Permanent Font Storage: Yes - only one User Interface: Control Panel Display, Alphanumeric Electronic Forms: Yes (limited by memory) Image Print: Yes (limited by memory) Printer performance at rated speed is 91 pages per minute (13 inches or 0.330 meters per second). The 3835-002 is able to print both fixed and proportional spaced fonts from 4 to 72 points. Customers should verify the legibility of 4-point font sets in their application. Only one copy of a font is required for all rotations in the printer. The font is oriented for printing at print time. IBM provides one resident font to satisfy minimal data processing requirements. The 3835-002 and all Group 3 printers use bounded box fonts. The 3800 uses unbounded box fonts. The two formats are not compatible so both font libraries must be maintained if both types of printers are in use (except in VM where only bounded box font libraries are required: PSF/VM converts bounded box fonts to unbounded box fonts for 3800 printing). Any customized 3800 fonts must be reformatted into a bounded box font for use on a 3835. Reformatting may be done by service vendors or the customer using an AFP utility such as PMF or FLSF. PMF can be used to build bounded box fonts directly from source fonts. FLSF can be used to design characters from scratch, and build them into bounded box fonts. Some fonts that were designed to take advantage of 3800 print characteristics may appear to have lighter and darker characters when printed on the 3835-002 printer, especially when characters are clustered as in header and trailer page designs. A set of fonts, GL10, GL12, and GL15, is available with PSF and provides thinner characters equivalent to those in fonts GT10, GT12, and GT15. Use the GL fonts in situations such as header and trailer page printing. The 3835-002 will utilize the Common Control Unit which has control storage, pattern storage, and page buffer storage. Control Storage o Control storage is standard on the Enhanced 3835 at 1.25 MB. Page Buffer Storage o Page buffer storage is standard on the 3835 at 2MB. Pattern Storage o The 3835-002 has 4MB standard pattern storage. The customer may purchase additional 2MB or 4MB increments up to a maximum of 16MB. The 3835-002 is designed for efficient ease of operation, service, and installation. Accepted human factors principles have been applied specifically to frequent access areas such as paper threading and the operator panel. The 3835-002 operates in a class A1 environment and will meet or exceed all US, AP, Canada, IBM LA, and EMEA regulations as they apply to "environmental impact" for business machines of this type. Temperature: 15.6 to 29.4C (60 to 85F) Relative Humidity: 20 to 80 percent Wet Bulb: 23C (73F) The acoustic levels for the 3835-002 measured running with 20 pound (75 gm/m2) paper are: Sound Power 60 Hz 50 Hz Idle 7.3 bels 7.1 bels Operating 8.1 bels 7.9 bels Sound Pressure* 60 Hz 50 Hz Idle 54 dB 52 dB Operating 63 dB 59 dB * At one meter (bystander position) ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT INFORMATION o Volatile organic compounds emitted from the 3835-002 printer pose no health concern either singularly or collectively at various toner coverages tested. o The 3835-002 toner and developer mix does not present an environmental problem (or environmental problems), provided the same care is taken with them as with other electrophotographic materials of a similar nature. o The toner collected in the toner waste bottle and fines filter pose no health and environmental problems, provided the same care is taken with them as with other similar electrophotographic materials. o The selenium carryout with used brushes poses no disposal problems as per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines. The used brushes can be disposed of in the normal trash to be disposed in the local landfill. o The photoconductor fleece cloth poses no disposal problems as per the EPA guidelines. o The photoconductor drum data obtained to date reveals no concerns to the environment. A drum return plan is being developed to assure all the used drums are returned to the manufacturer. o The dermal and hypersensitivity tests with the toner reveal no health concerns. These studies were conducted utilizing (or implementing) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) good laboratory practices regulations. The 3835-002 is designed to print to the perforation at rated speed. As with other print-to-perforation printers, print quality degradation will occur near the perforation with fanfold paper which 'tents' (that is retains a 'memory' of the fold). There will be no degradation at distances from the perforation of 1/3 inch (8.5 mm) for character data, OCR, or bar codes and 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) for solid area fill, logos, or images. With a roll-feed paper input no change in print quality should be apparent within 2mm of the perforation. The 3835-002 occupies approximately 18.4 square feet (1.7 square meters) of floor space. The 3835-002's display and operator input functions are provided via the main operator panel, similar to the 3835. The main operator panel is the primary control panel utilized by both operator and IBM customer engineer. The 3835-002 is also provided with a stacker-end operator panel which has controls that duplicate some of the function provided on the main operator panel, for operator convenience. It also provides control for the new, standard, preheat temperature control. The controls duplicated on the stacker-end control panel from the main operator control panel are STOP, READY, NPRO, and ONE PAGE and the functions of each are identical to the function provided by these controls on the main operator control panel. The preheat temperature control portion of the stacker-end operator panel includes a selector knob for operator selection of the desired preheat temperature for optimum toner adhesion. An indicator is provided to show operation at normal preheat temperature. A second indicator is provided to show operation at any of the three preheat temperatures other than normal. Two settings are below and one setting is above the normal preheat temperature setting. o The display: - Is vacuum fluorescent - Displays 32 alphanumeric, 5 x 12 matrix characters - Displays green light-emitting diode (LED) indicators for channel enable functions. o Input touch panel with plastic overlays consists of: - A set of 12 control and function keys - A hex keypad to input information, 17 hex keys ("0" through "F" and "." (decimal point)). - An audio alarm to provide input key activation acknowledgement 'feedback' and an 'attention' signal to the operator. o The stacker-end operator panel consists of: - A set of four control and function keys - A temperature selection knob for preheat control - Two indicators for preheat temperature settings. o In addition, an operator alert facility includes an audible alarm with volume control, a flashing light located on top of a pedestal, approximately 8 inches (200mm) above the top of the printer, and a jack/plug for remote attachment of operator attention equipment (using customer-supplied power).

When the 3835-002 is used in direct-printing mode, Print Services Facility/MVS (PSF/MVS) provides exclusive use of the printer for a particular application. The user with direct control of the 3835-002 cannot take advantage of system-assisted restart, data set checkpointing, multiple data set processing, or use of operator commands available through JES to control the printer. Additional items should be considered when a user attaches the 3835-002 directly to his program. Please consult the "IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer Product Description Guide" (GA32-0249) or the "PSF System Programmers Guide" for the appropriate software level for additional information concerning using the 3835-002 for direct-printing applications. The 3835-002 supports a maximum cable length of 122meters (400 ft) if it is the only control unit on the interface. For each additional control unit (up to a maximum of eight control units) this measurement is reduced 4.6m (15 ft). Further information regarding cable limitations is in the "IBM System/370 General Information - Installation -- Physical Planning" manual (GC22-7072). For parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a parallel block multiplexer channel is required on an IBM 4361, 4381, 3090*, ES/9370*, or ES/9000* processor. A High Speed Printer Adapter is required on the Micro Channel* 370 (9371). For attachment to ESCON* channels operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode, an IBM 9034 ESCON Converter (ESCC) Model 1 is required. Up to eight parallel channel I/O control units can be multi-dropped from one IBM ESCON Converter Model 1. An ESCON channel operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode must be dedicated to each IBM ESCON Converter Model 1. The following systems support ESCON channels operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode: o ES/3090* 180J and above except for Model 250 o ES/3090-9000T models o ES/9000. The IBM 3835-002 Advanced Function Printer may also be attached to a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) network via IBM Token-Ring using Remote Print Manager 2.0 in the MVS, VSE, VM, or OS/400* environment.

The new standard features in the Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer are: o New memory technology providing up to 20 percent improvement in performance o Four megabytes (MB) of standard pattern storage (twice that provided in the current 3900) o A preheat platen temperature control to allow the user more flexibility in paper stock choices o An enhanced operator alert facility. HIGHLIGHTS The Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer incorporates into the base 229 Impressions Per Minute (IPM) printer the following new standard features: o New memory technology providing up to 20 percent performance improvement o Four megabytes of standard pattern storage (twice that provided in the current 3900) o A preheat platen temperature control to allow the user more flexibility in paper stock choices o An enhanced operator alert facility. The Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer, with the new standard features, offers improved price/performance and a wider range of applications through the use of the Preheat Platen Temperature Control (#9400/4400) and the Increased Memory Performance (IMP, #9400/4220). The Preheat Platen Temperature Control allows the customer to adjust the temperature on the preheat platen within a range of 176F (80C) to 275F (135C) to ensure good toner adhesion on more types of papers. The 3900 offers a Forms Select Adjustment for adjusting the fuser roll temperature from the standard 374F (190C) down to 338F (170C) (the 'plastic' setting) for handling special label requirements. With the improved pre/post-processing Interface features available on the 3900, #4710 for normal pre/post-processing and #4720 for Advanced Function Post-processing (for example, additional printing with non-electrophotographic technology, magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) impact printing, selectable color printing, and so on), the customer can move into new application arenas. With the addition of the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (AFIG, #4200) and the Decompression Performance Enhancement (DPE, #4202) features, other new areas of ImagePlus* Applications are now available. AFIG (#4200) supports printer microcode image decompression of Image Object Content Architecture (IOCA) data streams that were compressed by industry - standard compression routines - CCITT Group 3 and 4, IBM Modified Modified Read (MMR) and Adaptive Bilevel Image Compression (ABIC). IBM Advanced Function Image and Graphics support is able to correct the resolution of an input image to match the printer's 240-pel resolution and thereby provide input resolution independence for scanned input. Image scaling is supported to expand or contract images in the printer. Scale to fit, center and trim, and position and trim are some of the additional image mapping functions supported in the printer. Images can be clipped in the printer as well as rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) graphics commands are supported at the DR/2V0 level for execution by the printer control unit. DPE (#4202) supports printer hardware image decompression of IOCA data streams that were compressed using standard compression routines - CCITT Group 3 and 4 and IBM MMR. The DPE capability improves the decompression performance offered with the AFIG feature by up to 12 times (The AFIG feature, #4200, is a prerequisite). The use of AFIG or DPE with AFIG for decompressing IOCA images in the printer has printer performance implications that depend upon the customer application environment - the total number of image pages to be printed in a given period of time, the ratio of image pages to text pages, the complexity of the images and text, the compression algorithm and compression ratio, along with the amount of printing for one given image printing application as related to the total print requirement. Additional Pattern Storage (#4030 or #4040) may be required for best performance. The operational characteristics of the 3900 are improved by the addition of the enhanced Operator Alert (#9400/4900), which includes an audible alarm with volume control, a flashing attention light located on top of a pedestal, approximately 8-inches above the top of the printer, and a jack/plug for remote attachment of operator attention equipment (using customer-supplied equipment and power). With the addition of the Advanced Function Image and Graphics (#4200) and the Decompression Performance Enhancement (#4202) features, the 3900 enables the printing of applications that produce the IBM Systems Applications Architecture* IOCA image or GOCA graphics formats. This gives the customer the flexibility to choose between decompressing CCITT Group 3 or 4, IBM MMR or IBM ABIC compressed images in the processor or in the printer; the choice of storing either compressed or decompressed images on the spool; and the rasterizing of GOCA graphics orders in the processor or sending them to the 3900 for rasterizing. The following table gives approximate performance information. Data given is for page performance, not APPLICATION performance. If an application is composed of pages that follow similar characteristics, application performance closely matches page performance. However, if an application is composed of a mix of pages, application performance may not resemble page performance at all. For a mixed-page application, performance numbers for the various types of pages in the mix cannot be "averaged" together because of complex buffering schemes used to maximize performance. In general, if text pages are mixed with image or graphics pages, APPLICATION performance can be significantly better than the image or graphic PAGE performance. * Throughput (pages/minute) + 3800-3 --------3900-------- ----ENHANCED 3900---- AFIG IMP+ IMP+AFIG Page Type SEF BASE AFIG +DPE IMP AFIG +DPE ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SIMPLE TEXT: 14K chars/page 112 229 229 229 229 229 229 32K --- 139 153 153 --- 183 183 COMPLEX TEXT: with 1 table 159 229 229 229 229 229 229 with 6 tables --- 152 156 156 192 195 195 with large image 102 178 171 171 --- 203 203 IM1 IMAGE: 24 sqin/page 170 184 229 229 225 229 229 50 88 94 132 132 --- 148 148 87 53 54 79 79 --- 85 85 IOCA IMAGE: CR = Compression Ratio 16 sqin CR=16 n/s n/s 221 229 n/s --- 229 CR= 4 n/s n/s 84 229 n/s --- 229 32 sqin CR=16 n/s n/s 117 229 n/s --- 229 CR= 4 n/s n/s 43 229 n/s --- 229 GOCA GRAPHICS: 2000 lines/page n/s n/s 72 72 n/s --- 74 4000 n/s n/s 51 51 n/s --- 53 32 sqin area n/s n/s 110 110 n/s --- 115 64 fill/page n/s n/s 62 62 n/s --- 63 IOCA CCITT G4 COMPRESSED IMAGES (FULL 8.5" x 11" PAGES): CR 4.6 n/s n/s 11 144 n/s --- 155 CR 10.4 n/s n/s 20 165 n/s --- 170 CR 24.1 n/s n/s 35 169 n/s --- 175 CR 49.7 n/s n/s 51 170 n/s --- 177 CHECK IMAGE PRINTING APPLICATIONS (10 check images/page uncompressed): 2 coded/3 image 125 122 --- --- --- 206 206 Image only 75 81 --- --- --- 146 146 CHECK IMAGE PRINTING APPLICATIONS (10 check images/page in CCITT G4): 2 coded/1 image n/s n/s 98 229 n/s --- 229 2 2 n/s n/s 69 229 n/s --- 229 2 3 n/s n/s 59 229 n/s --- 229 n/s - Not supported --- - Not currently available + - 3900 Performance testing was done with 16 MB Pattern Storage 3800 Storage Expansion Feature (SEF) is maximum memory for the 3800 * - Most of this data was published in Washington Systems Center (WSC) Flash 9139. An updated WSC Flash will be published at a later date. Job turnaround may be reduced as a result of faster printer throughput with the use of IMP, AFIG, and DPE. With the improved pre/post-processing interfaces available on the Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer, the customer may achieve greater throughput and reliability than is achievable with normal box paper input. The current applications that create graphics require that these graphics be rasterized in the processor before being sent to the printer. With the use of AFIG, GOCA graphics orders may be sent directly to an Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer and rasterized in the printer control unit, saving processor time. By enabling additional applications and improving performance, the Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer, the customer will allow the customer to expand his application base. With the use of AFIG and DPE, the adherence to SAA* and the added image performance, the customer is assisted in improving application development. The ability to order all of the new features for current 3900s protects the customer's investment in the 3900. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is a high speed, continuous form, page printer that operates at speeds up to 229 PPM. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is supported by IBM's AFP software. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer has an addressability of 240 x 240 pel or dots per inch (DPI). The print darkness will exceed that of the IBM 3835 and 3800 particularly in dark area fill. Print contrast controls, similar to those on the IBM 3835, allow the operator to adjust print darkness. Whenever the IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is stopped, any exposed toner under the fusing station may appear darker than exposed toner fused during normal paper motion. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is capable of printing up to four million feet of paper per month. PAPER HANDLING o Input fanfold The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer will have a paper supply capacity of 16 inches (406 mm) of fanfold paper. o Output fanfold The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer will have a pendulum type of stacker with a maximum paper capacity of up to 16 inches (406 mm) in height. The actual height may be operator adjusted to limit the weight of the output stack of paper. The stacker can only stack paper with lengths between 3 (76 mm) and 14 (356 mm) inches. The stacker has a motor driven swing arm which forces the paper to fold in the proper direction. Synchronization with the fold in the paper is set up by a switch accessible from the front of the printer. This mechanism is used to improve stacking performance for some kinds of papers which have inner perforations, holes and label forms, etc. The ability to attach pre- and post-processing equipment allow additional input and output capabilities. See Feature #4710/#4720. o Splicing station There is a standard splicing station to minimize waste and increase operator efficiency with boxed paper. PAPER SIZES Width: 6.5 (165 mm) to 16 (406 mm) inches (continuously variable). The maximum print width is 15 (381 mm) inches. Length: 3 (76 mm) to 14 (356 mm) inches (in 1/3 and 1/2 inch increments) are supported by the standard stacker. Additionally a forms length of 16 and 2/3 inches (423mm) may be printed but can not be stacked with the standard stacker. Feature #4710 must be installed to disable the standard stacker when printing this form length. Suitable post-processing equipment is recommended for the latter form length. A3 paper (297 mm x 420 mm) falls within the preceding guidelines as it must be printed with the 420 mm dimension as the length. Note: Lengths less than 7 (178 mm) inches are folded in multiples by the forms supplier and by the stacker, (e.g., forms 3.5 inches in length may be folded every 7 inches.) Paper weights between 16 (60 g/m2) and 42 (160 g/m2) pound bond are supported. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer can print on normal fanfold paper, roll feed paper, preprinted forms and some label stock. It should run a broader range of labels than the IBM 3800 printer due to the 3900's teflon coated, silicon wicked, hot roll fuser. The wicking improves the release properties of the hot roll and helps to prevent detaching of labels on to the hot roll. IBM advises that customers evaluate label stock on the 3900 prior to committing to large label orders. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer can be used to print OCR and bar code documents. The 3900 has been tested using OCR A, OCR B, and bar code fonts of the IBM Bar Code/Optical Character Recognition Licensed Program (5688-021). The OCR and bar code produced by the 3900 is intended to meet OCR and bar code printing standards. However, because of the variability of OCR readers and bar code scanners, IBM advises that customers evaluate the 3900's OCR and bar code output in their application environment. Refer to the "IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer Forms Design Reference" (GA32-0137) for more detailed OCR and bar code information. COMMON CONTROL UNIT (CCU) FUNCTIONS Character Generator APA Font Downloading Yes Permanent Font Storage Yes - only one User Interface Control Panel Display Alphanumeric Electronic Forms Yes (limited by memory) Image Print Yes (limited by memory). Printer performance at rated speed is 229 pages per minute (2.70 feet or .824 meters per second). The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is able to print both fixed and proportional spaced fonts from 4 to 72 points. Customers should verify the legibility of 4 point font sets in their application. Only one copy of a font is required for all rotations in the printer. The font is oriented for printing at print time. IBM provides one resident font to satisfy minimal data processing requirements. The 3900 and all Group 3 printers use bounded box fonts. The 3800 uses unbounded box fonts. The two formats are not compatible so both font libraries must be maintained if both types of printers are in use (except in VM where only bounded box font libraries are required: PSF/VM converts bounded box fonts to unbounded box fonts for 3800 printing).Any customized 3800 fonts must be reformatted into a bounded box font for use on a 3900. Reformatting may be done by service vendors or the customer using an AFP utility such as PMF or FLSF. PMF can be used to build bounded box fonts directly from source fonts. FLSF can be used to design characters from scratch, and build them into bounded box fonts. Some fonts which were designed to take advantage of 3800 print characteristics may appear to have lighter and darker characters when printed on the 3900 printer, especially when characters are clustered as in header and trailer page designs. A new set of fonts, GL10, GL12, and GL15, are available with PSF and provide thinner characters equivalent to those in fonts GT10, GT12, and GT15. Use the GL fonts in situations such as header and trailer page printing. When compared to many other printers (using the same font) the 3900 more accurately reproduces the pel size and stroke widths. These other printers tend to broaden the strokes. This may cause the 3900 prints to appear lighter because the characters and drawings have finer lines. This characteristic produces better OCR and BAR CODE's, but can be a concern for fine lines in drawings (CAD/CAM). Large solid areas tend to have a non-uniform appearance. This characteristic is not uncommon to high speed continuous form, electrophotographic printers. To minimize the non-uniform appearance: o Control the size of solid areas by keeping them as small as possible o Use gray scales or dot patterns (OGL) o Use outline characters and designs for logos o Use cross hatching rather than solids o Keep the longer dimension of solid areas perpendicular to the tractor feed motion. Thin lines and solid areas may smear if the form is rough. The 3900 needs smoother forms than the 3800. The "Forms Design Reference" (GA32-0137) contains guidance on form selection for best performance. The customer should be aware of the following print characteristics of the 3900 Advanced Function Printer and should consider them when deciding to print an application on the 3900. The 3900 has higher print density (1.2 OD) than previous continuous forms printers (3800, 3835). The solid areas are also darker than previous continuous forms printers (1.0 OD), but less than the cut sheet printers (3825, 3827, 3828). The 3900 has been certified as 'Forgery Proof' by the government of Germany. This indicates that any alteration of 3900 printed characters on normal papers would lead to noticeable destruction of the paper itself and therefore be detectable. This is an important certification for customers who intend to print checks on the 3900. Control Store is standard on the 3900 at 1.25MB. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer will utilize the Common Control Unit which has control storage, pattern storage, and page buffer storage. Control Storage o Control Storage is standard on the Enhanced 3900 at 1.25 MB. Page Buffer Storage o Page Buffer Storage is standard on the 3900 at 2MB. Pattern Storage o The Enhanced IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer has a 4MB standard pattern storage. The customer may purchase additional 2MB or 4MB increments up to a maximum of 16MB. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is designed for efficient ease of operation, service and installation. Accepted human factors principles have been applied specifically to frequent access areas such as paper threading (auto-load) and the operator panel. The auto-load capability of the 3900 will automatically load most paper between 20 pounds (70 g/m2) and 24 pounds (90 g/m2). Other weight paper may have to be loaded manually. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer operates in a class A1 environment and will meet or exceed all US, AP, IBM LA, Canada, and EMEA regulations as they apply to "environmental impact" for business machines of this type. The acoustic levels for the IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer measured running with 20 pound (75 gm/m2) paper are: Sound Power 60 Hz 50Hz Idle 8.3 Bels 7.7 Bels Operating 8.7 Bels 8.4 Bels Sound Pressure * 60 Hz 50Hz Idle 58 dB 57 dB Operating 65 dB 65 dB. * At one meter (bystander position) The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer is designed to print to the perforation at rated speed. As with other print-to-perforation printers, print quality degradation will occur near the perforation with fanfold paper which 'tents' (i.e. retains a 'memory' of the fold). There will be no degradation at distances from the perforation of 1/3 inch (8.5 mm) for character data, OCR, or barcodes and 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) for solid area fill, logos, or images. With a roll feed paper input no change in print quality should be apparent up to the perforation. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer occupies approximately 22.1 square feet (2.1 square meters) of floorspace. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer's display and operator input functions are provided via the main operator panel, similar to the 3835. The main operator panel is the primary control panel utilized by both operator and IBM Customer Engineer. It is described below: o Display - Vacuum fluorescent - 32 alphanumeric, 5 x 12 matrix characters - Green LED indicators for channel enable functions o Input touch panel with plastic overlays consisting of: - A set of 12 control and function keys - A hex keypad to input information, 17 hex keys ("0" through "F" and "." (decimal point)). o Audio alarm to provide input key activation acknowledgement 'feedback' and an 'attention' signal to the operator. o In addition, an operator-alert indicator lamp is available to signal when operator attention is required. A standard automatic paper loading capability has been added as an operator convenience. It will handle most supported paper sizes and weights. PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS o Width: 2,313 mm (91 inches) to 2,402mm (94 inches), dependent on stacker setting. o Depth: 890 mm (35 inches) o Height: 1,420 mm (56 inches) o Weight: 996 kg (2,196 pounds) OPERATING ENVIRONMENT o Temperature: 15.6 to 29.4C (60 to 85F) o Relative Humidity: 20 to 80 percent o Wet Bulb: 23C (73F) The 3900 may be used as a direct output device (direct-printing) when attached to an MVS host system. When the 3900 is used in direct-printing mode, Print Services Facility/MVS (PSF/MVS) provides exclusive use of the printer for a particular application. The user with direct control of the 3900 cannot take advantage of system-assisted restart, data set checkpointing, multiple data set processing, or use of operator commands available through JES to control the printer. The following additional items should be considered when a user attaches the 3900 directly to his program: 1. EXCP is not supported 2. Installation exits are not supported, except for user exit 16, the 'direct attach exit' 3. PSF does not return interrupts for channel 9 or 12 carriage control conditions 4. Error Recovery is the responsibility of the user program 5. Printer jams and Machine checks At the time of a paper jam all pages buffered in the control unit are discarded and PSF is relied upon to re-transmit. In direct attach, PSF cannot request the application to resend the pages, so the print job is terminated. The 3900 will allow the operator to indicate to the control unit that paper jam and print engine machine check recovery are to be under operator control. When the Ready key is pressed following a jam or print engine machine check the operator will be prompted to indicate whether to discard pages and rely on host error recovery or to re-start printing from the next queued sheet, thus the operator assumes responsibility for re-printing of sheets that may have been lost or partially printed at the time of a jam or print engine machine check. 6. Print Adjust The current control unit implementation discards all buffer pages upon entry to and exit from print adjust mode. In a Direct Attach environment these pages are not retransmitted by PSF and thus are lost and the job is terminated. This has the disadvantage that print may be pushed out of the valid printable area and be undetected. Subsequent pages built with the new adjustment values would indicate printing outside the Valid Printable Area (VPA). 7. One Page Key The current control unit implementation discards all buffer pages when One Page followed by Ready is pressed. This is because this indicates entry to print adjust mode. A configuration option has been implemented to allow One page - Ready to merely print one page and stop as though the stop key had been pressed. No pages are discarded. 8. Allow printing outside Valid Printable Area A configuration option has been implemented to allow printing up to 40 pels outside the Valid Printable Area (VPA) without an error being detected. 9. PSF Exits a. Header exit - Not Supported b. Trailer Exit - Not Supported c. Separator - Not Supported d. Record Exit - Not Supported e. SMF 6 Exit - Not Supported f. Message Exit - Not Supported g. Resource Exit - Not Supported h. Direct-print Exit - Supported This implies that exits to suppress Eject To Front Facing are ineffective. A configuration option has been implemented to allow inhibit EFF from the operator panel. The 3900 supports a maximum cable length of 122m (400 ft) if it is the only control unit on the interface. For each additional control unit (up to a maximum of eight control units) this measurement is reduced by 4.6m (15 ft). Further information regarding cable limitations is in the "IBM System/370 General Information Installation Physical Planning" (GC22-7072). For parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a parallel block multiplexer channel is required on an IBM 4361, 4381, 3090*, ES/9370* or ES/9000* processor. A High Speed Printer Adapter is required on the Micro Channel 370 (9371). For attachment to ESCON* channels operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode, an IBM 9034 ESCON Converter (ESCC) Model 1 is required. Up to eight parallel channel I/O control units can be multi-dropped from one IBM ESCON Converter Model 1. An ESCON channel operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode must be dedicated to each IBM ESCON Converter Model 1. The following systems support ESCON channels operating in ESCON Converter Model 1 mode: o ES/3090 180J and above except for Model 250 o ES/3090-9000T models o ES/9000. The IBM 3900 Advanced Function Printer may also be attached to a Systems Network Architecture (SNA) network via IBM Token Ring or a Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) line using Remote Print Manager 2.0 in the MVS, VSE, or VM environment.

This multifunction, table-top designed, non-impact page printer provides letter-quality text and all points addressable graphics at a maximum speed of 16 pages (impressions) per minute and is designed to produce a maximum of 75,000 pages (impressions) per month. With cross-industry applicability (insurance, finance, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, health care), the 3916 is well suited for workgroups in medium and large-sized enterprises for printing business documents for internal as well as customer use. The 3916 is a low cost host system attached printer with a duplex printing option. o The 3916 Page Printer is available in four models: - Twinaxial/5250 Printer Data Stream (PDS) Model AS0 - Twinaxial/IPDS and PDS Model AS1 - Coax 3270 datastream Model (SCS) NS0 - Coax/IPDS and SCS Model NS1. All models have, in addition to the attachments defined above, a standard Centronics Parallel and RS-232 Serial interface which support PCL5** and PostScript** level 1 data streams with automatic data stream switching. Automatic port switching between these interfaces and the other attachments (above) allows sharing of the printer between host and PC systems. The IBM 3916 Page Printer is designed for unattended operation in IBM mainframe distributed, IBM mid-range, and local area network (LAN) system environments: o System/390*: - Models NS0 and NS1 attach via Coax to IBM 3174 Controllers, ES/9000* Processors and ES/9370* Processors. o AS/400*: - Models AS0 and AS1 attach via Twinaxial cabling to the AS/400 and AS/400-attached 5X94 controllers. o LAN: - All models attach via the IBM 4033 LAN Connection. The IBM 3916 offers other improvements (beyond the higher rate speed) over the IBM 4028 including duplex capability, larger paper capacities, improved operator panel, and higher print quality. HIGHLIGHTS o High Reliability with a 75K maximum monthly capacity (16 IPM) o Optional Duplex Capability o Easier to Use - New 4x20 Character LCD Operator Panel with plain language messages - Fully configured from the OP Panel o Improved Print Quality - Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) - High-resolution, 600x600 dot-per-inch printing (PostScript only, at up to 8 impression per minute) o Greater Attachment Flexibility - Coax or Twinaxial with SCS or IPDS datastreams - Optional LAN Attach Capability via IBM 4033 LAN Connection - Centronics Parallel and RS-232 standard on all models - Auto switching between Twinaxial, Coax, serial, and parallel ports. o Multiple Data Streams Supported - IPDS (models AS1, NS1 only) - 5250 Printer Data Stream (SCS) Models AS0 and AS1 - 3270 Data Stream (DSC/DSE/SCS) Models NS0 and NS1 - Auto data stream switching between PCL5 and PostScript Lv 1 on RS-232 serial/Centronics parallel ports and between IPDS and 3270 datastreams on coax models. o Low Cost of Printing o Memory - 4MB Usable RAM Standard - 16MB Maximum Memory Expansion Options o PostScript and PCL Outline fonts o Resident 4028 Typefaces o Envelope Feeder The IBM 3916 Page Printer is complementary to the IBM 4028 and adds extended performance for many applications. The IBM 3916 operates at a rated speed of 16 impressions per minute and has a higher maximum duty cycle of 75,000 pages (impressions) per month. o End User Productivity - Improved Worker Productivity Worker productivity is increased, for many applications, via the faster print speed of the IBM 3916 versus the IBM 4028. The new 16 IPM print engine provides much faster printing than the IBM 4028, in most applications, thereby reducing user wait times for print jobs. o Growth Enablement - Increased Capacity The higher maximum print capacity of the IBM 3916 (75,000 per month) allows businesses to increase their print loads without having to buy additional printers as frequently. The IBM 3916 offers optional duplex capability and significantly greater paper input and output capacity than the IBM 4028. The customer installable duplex feature is optional. The standard input and output capacity is 500 sheets. Input capacity is expandable to 1,000 sheets. The customer can purchase an additional input bin to double input capacity to meet increased print load requirements. o Business Solutions - Enable Customer's Competitive Advantage The duplex option will provide customer's with both cost savings by reducing paper use and the ability to print more professional looking duplex documents. The IBM 3916 offers improved print quality through the Print Quality Enhancement Technology (PQET) at 300X300 DPI and 600x600 DPI resolution when printing PostScript. PQET improves the appearance of characters and graphics via edge smoothing algorithms. o Business Solutions - Enable Customer's Competitive Advantage The IBM 3916 will improve the appearance of documents intended for distribution to user's customers. The IBM 3916 line includes models with standard coax or twinaxial interface for attachment to IBM midrange processors and mainframe controllers. Field upgrades allow flexibility in applications. In addition, the IBM 3916 has standard serial and parallel interfaces. These additional ASCII interfaces will allow the 3916 to be shared with, or migrated to ASCII systems or networks. The IBM 3916 may be attached to Local Area Networks via the IBM 4033 LAN Connection. The 3916 can automatically switch between all ports in use. o Growth Enablement - Connectivity The IBM 3916 can be migrated from IBM midrange processors and mainframe controllers to Local Area Networks, as company's update their networking strategies and may be shared between the coax or twinaxial attached IBM host system and a Local Area Network. o Investment Protection - Industry Standards The IBM 3916 Page Printer will support the IPDS* and 3270 datastreams (DSC/DSE/SCS) in the IBM System/370-390 NDS environment. On AS/400 systems, the IBM 3916 will support the IPDS datastream. Within, LAN/ASCII system environments the 3916 will support the widely used PCL5 and PostScript Level 1 datastreams. This permits easy migration of the IBM 3916 to new applications. With the standard print cartridge, the 3916 Page Printer offers a total cost of printing that is very competitive with similar printers. When used with the Marathon Performance Print cartridge, (shipped with the printer) the 3916 offers a significantly lower total cost of printing. IBM 3916 Page Printer comes standard with the following features installed: 4M of printer memory, PostScript Level 1 Interpreter with 39 Fonts, PCL5 Printer Emulation for HP Laser Printer III and auto Emulation switching.

The IBM 3930 operates at a higher rated speed (30 IPM), processes print data faster via an improved controller, and has a higher maximum monthly print capacity of 150,000 pages (impressions) per month. Worker productivity is increased via the faster print speed of the IBM 3930 versus predecessor printers. The combination of the 30 IPM print engine and the improved controller design significantly improves the actual print throughput of the 3930. The higher maximum print capacity of the IBM 3930 (150,000 per month) allows businesses to increase their print loads without having to purchase additional printers. The IBM 3930 Page Printer will provide attachment to multiple system environments including: IBM AS/400*, IBM System/370*, IBM System/390*, IBM RISC System 6000*, IBM PS/2*, IBM PC and compatibles. Industry standard physical attachments and data protocols will be supported. The IBM 3930 Page Printer can be moved from one system environment to another as companies upgrade or change their host systems. The user need change only cables or interface features. The IBM 3930 Page Printer will support the IPDS* and SCS datastreams in the IBM System/370* and IBM System/390* environments. On AS/400 Systems, the IBM 3930 will support the IPDS datastream. Within the LAN/ASCII environments, the 3930 will support the widely used PCL5** and PostScript Level 1 data streams. This allows easy portability of the 3930 to new applications. The IBM 3930 Page Printer provides higher print quality than predecessor products at an IBM host standard of 240 PEL or at an industry standard of 300 PEL resolution. The IBM 3930 provides high quality printing of documents intended for users' external customers. The IBM 3930 Page Printer provides high capacity, upgradeable paper feeding and stacking capability. The high capacity(up to 1,750 sheets) paper input and high capacity paper stacking(up to 1,400 sheets) reduces the amount of time spent by users adding and removing paper from the printer. Slower speed printers normally have paper capacities of less than 1000 for input and output trays. The standard input and output paper capacity of the IBM 3930 is 800 and 550 sheets, respectively. The customer can purchase high capacity input and output features to increase capacity to 1,750 and 1,400 sheets, respectively. The total cost of printing of the IBM 3930 is competitive with other printers in its speed and usage range. Additionally, at higher duty cycles the IBM 3930 can provide lower cost of printing than the use of multiple slower speed printers. Use of the IBM 3930 rather than multiple lower speed printers can provide the customer with both cost of printing and labor savings. The labor savings is due to less paper handling.

The IBM 4232-302 is intended to replace IBM 4224-30X printers in environments such as the IBM mainframe, the IBM AS/400*, the IBM RISC System/6000*, the IBM Personal System/2*, and local area networks. The 4232 can be used for printing data processing, office or internal business documents as well as for printing bar codes, labels and multi-part forms. These applications are commonly used in most industries, but are especially popular in the Service Sector industries such as insurance, finance, shipping, health care, retail, and wholesale. The 4232 can be offered as a workstation printer or as a shared printer in a distributed printing environment. In addition, the 4232 is well-suited for printing in harsh environments (for example, warehouses or shipping docks) - environments in which other printing technologies often cannot compete. All of the paper handling options and features available on IBM 4230 printers are also available on the new IBM 4232 Printer. HIGHLIGHTS o IBM Heavy Duty Impact Matrix Printer with Serial and Parallel Attach o Includes the Following Design Features of the 4230 Printer Family: - Quiet Operation - 53 dBA - 80 Character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Operator Panel - Automatic Forms Thickness Adjustment - Auto Loading (with Dual Purpose Module) - Flexible Forms Handling Supports Cut Sheet or Continuous Forms Applications - Straight Paper Path for Trouble-Free Handling of Complex Forms - POSTNET Certified o Impressive Print Speeds - 600 Characters Per Second (CPS) Fast Draft - 400 Characters Per Second (CPS) DP - 200 Characters Per Second (CPS) DP Text - 100 Characters Per Second (CPS) NLQ o Designed for Heavy Usage - Rated at 16 Million Characters Per Month o Op Panel Selectability Allows Simultaneous Connection of the Serial (RS-232C/RS-422A) and Parallel (IBM PC ASCII) Interfaces o Compatibility with the IBM Printer Family Pennant Systems is extending the IBM 423X Printer family with the new IBM 4232, a heavy-duty impact matrix printer capable of printing 600 characters per second (CPS). This new printer complements the capabilities of the 4224 and 4230 models by providing improved price/performance, full compatibility with the IBM 4224-3XX plus IBM 4202 emulation resulting in a complete ASCII printing solution with the "look and feel" of the IBM 4230. The 4232 printer may be used as a workstation printer for the larger AS/400(R) systems, RISC System/6000 (R) or Personal System/2 (R) environments and as the primary shared printer for smaller AS/400 systems and LAN environments. The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides both 4202 and 4224-3XX emulation modes. These are selectable from the operator panel. The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides IBM PC ASCII (Centronics) Parallel, RS-232-C Serial, and RS-422A Serial host interfaces. The 4232-302 is the only model offered. The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer is a replacement for the IBM 4224-30X Printers. The IBM 4232 prints in fast draft print quality mode at 600 CPS, offers simultaneous serial and parallel attachment capability, the 4230 "look and feel," and an attractive price. Because the new 4232 printer offers a lower-priced entry product for heavy-duty, high-speed printing, businesses will spend less money for mid-range printing needs, thereby improving their competitive advantage. The new IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer is an IBM heavy-duty ASCII printer which supports the same forms handling options as the 4230 (for example, Continuous Forms Module (CFM), Dual Purpose Module (DPM), Document Insertion Device (DID), and Auto Sheet Feed (ASF)). The 4232 supports the Novell-certified IBM 4033 LAN adapter and may also attach to LAN's via LAN-attached IBM PS/2's or IBM PC-compatible personal computers. The new IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides a low-priced migration path from older, slower 4224-30X printers. This high speed model allows businesses to expand their printing volume while minimizing their investment in upgrade equipment.

Any print operation that requires multiple passes or a reduction of horizontal dot spacing causes a reduction in the throughput. Some print operations that affect throughput are: o Heavy print patterns o Line length -- number of characters per line o Bold printing, double-strike printing, and other types of emphasis o Graphics printing o Bar-code printing The 4232 uses an internal print management feature to guard against overheating the print head due to the quantity of dots being printed. During extended printing of dense lines, or during extended printing of long line lengths, this temperature safeguard may cause the speed of the print mechanism to decrease, lowering overall throughput proportionally. The 4232 is supported in 4202 emulation mode by most application software. The following deviations from 4202 emulation should be noted: o The 4232 has a 13.2 inch writing line which assures compatibility with the 4202. However, the 4202XL has a 13.6 inch writing line. o The 4232 cannot accept and print 4202 font downloads. Instead, national language support requirements are provided via 4232 resident fonts. o The 4232 condensed print is at 15 CPI or 16.7 CPI. For the 4202, condensed print is at 17.1 CPI or 20 CPI. o While the 4232 supports double high printing, it will not print double high characters like the 4202. Instead, the page format integrity is maintained by printing single high characters with double-space line feeds. o The 4232 will support the CANCEL control, but in some situations CANCEL will clear a different amount of data than it clears on the 4202 for the same job. Fortunately, CANCEL is rarely, if ever, used by the popular drivers. The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer supports the Essay font (i.e., proportional spacing) in DP Text and NLQ modes only. Certain characters and code pages are unprintable in fast-draft print quality.

SPECIAL FEATURES o Continuous Forms Module (CFM - F1) #4001: Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism optimized for handling continuous forms utilizing pull tractors. For customers whose applications require continuous forms but do not require any "document on demand" (DOD) capability, this module is the best choice. The right hand tractor is adjustable to accommodate forms width from 3 inches to 15 inches. Forms length can be from 3 inches to 14 inches. Up to 6-part forms may be used. Limitations: Forms less than 6 inches in length or width and forms greater than 12.5 inches in length should be tested for satisfactory stacking. This CFM feature cannot be installed in the 4232 simultaneously with other forms handling features (#9502, #9503, #4002, #4003, and #4004). Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. Customer Setup: Yes. o Dual Purpose Module (DPM - F2) #4002: Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism for handling both long continuous forms jobs and "document on demand" (DOD) tearoff applications. The DPM allows the user to remove (tear off) the individual printed form without wasting a blank form each time forms are removed from the printer. The DPM is required for applications which require the Document on Demand function. The DPM is recommended for applications which need a combination of long continuous forms jobs and the Document on Demand function. The CFM is recommended for all continuous forms applications which do not require the DOD function especially when unattended printing is the only mode of operation. The right hand tractor and feed rolls are adjustable to accommodate forms width from 3 inches to 15 inches. Forms length can be from 3 inches to 14 inches. Limitations: Up to 6-part continuous forms may be used., Forms less than 6 inches in length or width and forms greater than 12.5 inches in length should be tested for satisfactory stacking. Applications requiring more than six forms to be fed before separation (tear off) should be tested for satisfactory operation. No limitations exist to limit the printable area on forms. This feature cannot be installed in the 4232 simultaneously with other forms handling features (#9501, #9503, #4001, #4003, and #4004). Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. Customer Setup: Yes. Note: For both the CFM and the DPM, five- and six-part forms should be tested on an individual basis for acceptable feeding, registration, and print quality before production. Likewise, for optimum performance, printing should be restricted to 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from all edges, holes, or folds on the forms. o Document Insertion Device (DID - F3) #4003 Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism to handle individually inserted forms. Includes a snap on guide for the left edge of the form. The right hand set of feed rolls is adjustable to accommodate forms width from 3 inches to 15 inches. Forms length can be from 7 inches to 14 inches. Limitations: Forms over 13 inches wide should be tested for satisfactory feeding and registration. 2- to 6-part forms should be tested for satisfactory feeding, registration, and print quality.

CABLES Cables are supplied by the customer. SPECIAL FEATURES IGP PRINTRONIX EMULATION (#4840) CODE V PRINTRONIX EMULATION (#4850) The graphics features contain an optional graphics processor located within the printer that performs various graphic instructions based on a program language that performs various graphic instructions that is interleaved into the base application program. The graphics card is inactive, until activated by the user using command type control codes to indicate that program data with interleaved graphic data are in transit to the printer. The data streams are divided into two groups: o Group One - Normal SCS Data Stream which passes through the graphics card and no action is taken. o Group Two - The graphics commands interleaved within Group One data. The graphic card interrupts the data into graphic output and then reports both data streams to the printer for printing. The result is normal SCS data combined with bar codes, forms backgrounds and expanded characters in a final format. The graphic NON-IPDS data streams, IGP Printronix Emulation and Code V Printronix Emulation, while similar in output capabilities, the individual options use different graphical program languages to perform the desired graphic function. Users will be responsible for development of application programs, using the programming guides that are supplied with these features. Key functions of the graphic features are: o Forms Generation - Generation of forms background or label formats with normal text or bar codes. o Bar Code Symbols - Several different Bar codes in various rotation formats. o Lines and Boxes - Commands that simplify the creation of label and form backgrounds. o Expanded Characters - Ability to print characters up to 99 times normal size. o Logos - Users have the ability to create and store for later use. o Compressed Print - Use of 13 and 17 cpi density not supported on the IBM 5225 or IBM 3287 Maximum: One per machine.

CSU publications are available in US English, Belgian/Dutch, Belgian/French, Canadian/French, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Spanish Speaking, and Swedish. HIGHLIGHTS o Coaxial, twinaxial and serial/parallel attachment capabilities. o Improved price/performance over existing IBM printers in this speed range. o Three selectable print qualities yielding up to 800 lpm (Draft-upper case only), 600 lpm (Data Processing) and 200 lpm (Near Letter Quality). o Dot band technology offering three customer replaceable bands for print quality optimization. o Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) support (Models 011 and 012 only). o Customer replaceable ribbon cartridge. o Ease of use features including enhanced operator panel with LCD text display, power-assisted forms loading, and eject/restore function to reduce forms waste. o 10, 12, 13.3, 15, 16.7, 18 cpi and proportional horizontal spacing. As additions to the IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer family, the 4234 Models 011, 012 and 013 set new price/performance levels for IBM heavy-duty, line matrix impact printers. These new models offer the same print quality options (Draft, Data Processing and Near-Letter quality) offered by the previous 4234 products, but at substantially higher print speeds with additional functions. Print speeds range from up to 800 lpm in Draft (upper case only), up to 600 lpm in data processing and up to 200 lpm in Near-Letter quality when printing at ten cpi and six lpi. In addition to these higher speeds, the Models 011 and 012 support the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS), resulting in a variety of enhanced Data Processing, word processing and graphics capabilities. These printer models have expanded font style and character spacing capabilities. The "Gothic" font style can be printed with character spacings of 10, 12, 13.3, 15, 16.7 and 18 cpi in both Draft and Data Processing modes, and at 13.3, 16.7 and 18 cpi in Near-Letter quality mode. The "Courier" font style can be printed at 10, 12, and 15 cpi in Near-Letter quality mode. Additionally, the "Essay" font style (proportional spacing at approximately 12 cpi) is selectable for Near-Letter quality printing. Models 011 and 012 (via IPDS), and Model 013 provide such enhanced print capabilities as doublewide, subscripts, superscripts, italicization, bold print and host loadable fonts (Load Symbol Sets for Models 011 and 012, Character Font Image Download for Model 013). Graphics printing functions for the Models 011 and 012 include bit-image graphics and vector graphics. Model 013 function is supported via bit-image graphics and block graphics. Models 011 and 012 have the ability to print graphics in either high density (144 by 144 dots per inch) or low density (60 by 72 dots per inch) modes. Model 013 prints bit-image graphics at densities of 60 by 72 dpi, 120 by 72 dpi, or 180 by 72 dpi based upon the selected escape sequence. Printed throughput for the Models 011, 012, and 013 printers will vary depending upon parameters associated with the printed data and communications environment. The following table summarizes maximum achievable throughput for text applications. Maximum achievable printed throughput for the Model 011 will be less in IPDS mode and non-IPDS LU1 mode. These values are based upon the assumptions of 66 lines per page at 6 LPI, 88 lines per page at 8 LPI, a clean print band (no blocked emitters), no wait time for system response, no compressed height fonts, and no accented, underscore, descender, or multiple strike characters used. Throughput is not affected by the number of characters per line or the print line length (maximum physical print line length is 13.2 inches).

Continuous forms are fed by variable width forms tractors that accept forms from 88.9 mm (3.5 inches) to 406.4 mm (16 inches) wide. Up to six-part forms may be used. However, forms of five or six parts, card stock and labels should be tested on an individual basis for acceptable feeding, registration and print quality. Forms loading, handling and removal operations used on Models 011, 012, and 013 are comparable to those used on the current Models 001 and 002. Power-assisted forms loading, horizontal and vertical vernier adjustment, set top of form function, and forms eject and restore function maintain the ease of use of the 4234 printer family. In addition, these models provide an enhanced multifunction operator panel which incorporates a two line 24 characters per line liquid crystal display (LCD). This LCD displays text messages (machine status, options, default conditions, test numbers) for easy interpretation by the operator. Customer changeable print bands (0.012 in./0.304 mm, 0.016 in./0.406 mm, 0.020 in./ 0.508 mm dot sizes) permit the optimization of print resolution at various speeds and print qualities to help meet the customer's requirements. The 0.016 inch (0.406 mm) dot band is considered the standard general purpose band. Print bands designated for use with the Models 011, 012 and 013 are not interchangeable with bands designated for the Models 001 and 002. Ribbon yield is enhanced with the new 4234 models through the availability of a black general purpose ribbon (P/N 1040282) that produces an average of 40 million DP characters (based on using the 0.406 mm/0.016 inch dot band). This ribbon, designated for use only with the Models 011, 012, and 013, is not interchangeable with ribbons designated for the Models 001 and 002.

IBM IMPACTWRITER PRINTER ═══ Double click here to display picture The multi-purpose 6252 Impactwriter* offers an exclusive design that features unique right-to-left paper movement and total front access for all printer tasks. This arrangement delivers increased user efficiency and significant floor space savings required to maintain and use the printer. Its unique design offers enhanced versatility, ease of use, superior price performance, and high reliability. Impactwriter is designed to serve as both a system printer and a shared workstation printer. Models print up to 800 lines per minute (LPM) or up to 1200 LPM with a 48 character set printband. The two speed groups of six models each allow attachment to IBM's mid-range systems, workstation, and personal computer systems as well as non-IBM systems. An IBM 6252 connected to a personal computer may become a print server within a local area network (LAN) or a remote job entry printer. The Impactwriter also offers an optional bar code capability that supports limited bar code applications at 800 LPM. Because the printer is based on engraved band technology, it produces fully formed, text characters, page after page. The 6252 has a very low noise level when printing, making it quiet enough for placement virtually anywhere a need for printing exists. Model T08 or T12 attaches twinaxially to System/36, System/38, and AS/400* computers. They also attach and are supported on the IBM 5X94 Controllers and the IBM 5299 Model 3 Terminal Multiconnector and Twinax To Telephone Twisted Pair Adapter. (NOTE: Model T0Z or T1Z are also twinaxially attached and are available only as part of the AS/400 Total System Package (TSP) offerings). Model D08 or D12 attaches coaxially to the ES/9370* and ES/9000* Model 120, 130, 150 and 170 Workstation Subsystem Controller, the Micro Channel 370* 3270 Adapter, to 3X74 Establishment Controllers, and the 4702 Branch Automation Processor. The IBM 6252 ASx and APx models attach to ASCII serial/parallel hosts such as PC AT*, PS/2*, RISC System/6000*, Micro Channel 370 (3270 adapter) and other PC-compatible computers that support the IBM PC serial RS-232-C/RS-422-A and IBM PC parallel printer interfaces. Models AS8 and AS2 also attach to the AS/400 ASCII Workstation Controller, to a 3174 Asynchronous Emulation Adapter, and to a ES/9370 ASCII subsystem. Impactwriter P models, utilizing the Dataproducts parallel printer interface, allows attachment to non-IBM systems utilizing this interface. HIGHLIGHTS o Exclusive right-to-left printing package that provides total front access for all operator tasks and significant floor space savings o Improved productivity through easier-to-use forms setup procedures Slide-out tray for the input side (1200 lpm models) Total front access for all operations Single adjustment for two forms tractors Up to six part printing o A new improved design for ease of ribbon replacement o Twelve models with outstanding price performance and enhanced reliability including a 12-month warranty o OCR and limited bar-code support for AIAG and ODETTE labels at 800 LPM. Postnet bar-code at both speeds o Very quiet operation, suitable for office settings o Convenient power requirement 120V, 1-phase; o Flexible systems attachment, Model D08 or D12 for coaxial attachment, Model T08, T0Z, T12 or T1Z for twinaxial attachment, Model P08 or P12 for Dataproducts parallel system printer attachment, and Models AP8, AP2, AS8 or AS2 for IBM-PC printer interfaces also used by other manufacturers supporting these interfaces. The IBM 6252 offers new levels of operating simplicity and use. Its complete front access design and right to left forms movement allows users to perform all tasks including the loading and unloading of forms from the front of the printer. Its user friendly operator panel and 80 character LCD display provide printer conditions in simple plain English messages (or Dutch, French, German, Italian, or Spanish as defined by the operator) versus lookup codes on older printers. Conditions identified such as paper changes, job transitions, and error detection make recovery fast and efficient. In addition to the LCD display the Operator panel comes equipped with an attention light and audible alarm, operating together or light only to alert users that attention is required. The 6252 also has convenient ribbon changing, that features a clean hands design of the printer ribbon, which enhances installation and replacement speed and efficiency. Its two form feed tractors, which can be adjusted by a single knob, permit fast and accurate forms alignment. Impactwriter's reliability is improved over the 3262 and 5262 printers providing enhanced printer availability. Print loads generally increase as user applications and user organizations grow. A logical growth path is to replace 3262 and 5262 printers with the Impactwriter -- a direct growth in rated speed. In addition the 6252 print applications are compatible with the 6262 printer family for future growth. Impactwriter provides improved capabilities for forms handling, up to 6 part forms of carbon or carbonless types, labels, cardstock, envelopes, and thin plastic cards. Forms inventories and investments are protected with the printer since it is forms-compatible with IBM 3262 and 5262 printers. Applications currently using 3262 and 5262 printers may be moved to the Impactwriter with little or no change. The increased cost-consciousness of today's businesses requires continual information processing and price/performance improvements. In addition to printing traditional text or OCR applications, the IBM Impactwriter offers limited bar code capability (on 800 lpm models), graphic character, and simple label design capability. Impactwriter printing conforms to the ANSI guidelines for bar code print quality and to the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) and ODETTE label standards. The 800 lpm Impactwriter provides up to 1600 AIAG labels per hour when printing these 4" x 5" (102 x 127mm) labels, three-up and rotated (landscape). An IBM Cooperative Software Program is available for line printer bar code applications. It is developed for creating labels, tags and forms for printing on line printers. This is the Bar Code and Graphics Package published and licensed by Lowry Computer Products, Inc. Impactwriter compatibility with existing printers and overall reliability improvements provide for simplified migration and stability of management for system configuration changes.

Full SNA support is provided via 3X74 in a local environment or via a 3X74 attached to a 37X5 in a remote environment for the 9370. Full system printer support such as "load forms control buffer" (FCB) is not implemented in VSE/SP(CICS) report controller. The FCB is set up at the operator panel. o Additional enhancements have been made in RSCS Version 2.2 for Early Print Complete (EPC). RSCS supports EPC in DSC mode by using the Set Printer Characteristics Structured Field. o VSE/SP 3.2 with CICS 1.7 will support the Impactwriter Model D08/D12 printer in SCS and DSC modes. It is recommended that the Early Print Complete (EPC) be OFF in the printer when used by this system. o EPC is supported at the Printer in DSC and DSE (LU3) mode. If LU3 EPC is selected then integrity of last block in print job is at risk, use job separators. o Remote data expansion is implemented in the Impactwriter Model D08/D12 printer. Support for remote data expansion is in SNA(SCS). Operating systems support in the host is required to compress this data stream prior to transmission to the Impactwriter D model printers. The T08/T12 is supported by the same software that supports the 4245 Printer Models T12 and T20. Impactwriter T model printers emulate the 4245 models T12 or T20. There are no additional software requirements for the IBM 6252 T model running on System/36, System/38, or AS/400 processors. If replacing a device that is not configured as a 4245, (i.e. a 3262 Models B01 or C01 or a 5262 on a S/36, S/38, or AS/400 V1 R3 or later), a reconfiguration of the system is required to configure support for Impactwriter as a 4245 T model. See "Attaching Impactwriter to the AS/400 and Other Devices", (GA24-4296). System/36 Release 5.1, System/38 Release 8, OS/400 Release 3.0 or later must be installed on the respective processors. 5494 Models 1 and 2, 5394 Release 2.1 or later and 5294 Model 1 will support Impactwriter T Models. The Impactwriter printer Models APx and ASx, using IBM Personal Printer Data Stream emulates the IBM 4202-003 printer when attached to the PC serial and parallel interfaces for traditional line-mode printing of simple text and numbers. Graphics, all-points-addressable, and large characters cannot be correctly printed with a fully formed character printer like the IBM 6252. The "A" model interfaces permit attachment as follows: o Model AS8/AS2, RS-232 interface (1) will attach to: - PC AT, PS/2, and Token-Ring LAN using an AT or PS/2 connected to the "A" model and using minimum program level PCLP 1.32 or OS/2* LAN Server 1.3. - 6150 workstations or RISC System/6000 workstations using minimum program level AIX* Version 3 for RISC System/6000. - The AEA adapter of the 3174 controller and the ASCII subsystem of the ES/9370* mid-range system. - AS/400 ACSII workstation controller with OS/400 R3 or later configured as a 4234-013. o Model AS8/AS2, RS-422 interface (1) will attach to: - 6150 workstations or RISC System/6000 workstations using minimum program level AIX Version 3 for RISC System/6000. - AS/400 ACSII workstation controller with OS/400 R3 or later configured as a 4234-013. o Model AP8/AP2, Parallel interface will attach to: - PC AT, PS/2, and Token-Ring LAN using an AT or PS/2 connected to the "A" model and using minimum program level PCLP 1.32 or OS/2 LAN Server 1.3. - 6150 workstations or RISC System/6000 workstations, excluding the POWERserver 930, using minimum program level AIX Version 3 for RISC System/6000. (1) Serial attachments may have performance limitations resulting from the baud rate established between host and printer. The 6252 supports rates up to 38.4 Kb. The Dataproducts Parallel interface is a common, mature printer interface used by many competitive computer systems. The Impactwriter P model emulates the Dataproducts LB series printers. Programming versions and levels are a requirement of the non-IBM host. Versions and levels supporting the Dataproducts parallel interface are necessary. The system-printer attachment cable (a non-IBM part) is currently limited to 50 feet (15.24m).

IBM IMPACT LINE PRINTER ═══ Double click here to display picture The 6262 Printer Model 12 (1,200 lpm) and Model 14 (1,400 lpm), are additions to the IBM family of intermediate speed impact printers. The A12, A14, and A22 models are for attachment to processors that utilize the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface and emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line mode printing of simple text and numbers. Recommended for attachment to these hosts whenever high speed, good print quality, and reliability as well as extended operational function are required for output. The 6262 sets a new performance standard with excellent print quality, enhanced and easier to use operator functions and high reliability. MODEL A12 1200 lpm with a 48 character set. For attachment to PC processors that utilize the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface and emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line mode printing of simple text and numbers. MODEL A14 1400 lpm with a 48 character set. For attachment to processors that utilize the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface and emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line mode priting of simple text and numbers. Character Model 12 Model 14 Set Rated Rated Size Speed Speed 48 1,200 1,400 64 1,000 1,130 94 740 805 128 585 625 192 413 433 Note: Rated print speed is the nominal speed of a band image ripple print pattern printing 132 characters per line. Bar Code: The IBM 6262 printer is a medium to low density bar code printer. The minimum X-dimension is .38mm (.015 inch) in ladder format and .635mm (0.025 inch) in picket format. CSU allowance is one day for all models except channel Model 022. IBM setup is also available at the applicable IBM hourly service rates and minimum charges. The channel models are installed by the IBM Service Representative. HIGHLIGHTS o Lower prices and improved price performance. o Enhanced reliability and a 12 month warranty. o Improved easier-to-use forms setup procedures. o Smaller footprint, 64 percent of 4245 Model 12 or Model 20; convenient power requirement, 120V, 1-phase. o Six part forms capability, 132 print positions at 10 print positions per-inch. o Four tractors. o Bar Code printing, AIAG and ODETTE labels, ladder format. o Printband image adjustment. A local procedure for revising hex code assignment of printer characters. o Programming systems support - Identical to current line support without any changes. o "A" Models for attachment to the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface. The 6262 printers set new IBM price performance standards for the 1,200 and 1,400 lpm users. Utilizing a fully formed character printband, they will produce a print quality equal to or better than the 4245 Printers. The operator-invoked flight timing function will allow easy maintenance of print quality by the operator. The 6262 printers are suitable for either computer center or work station environments. They provide a reliability superior to the 3203 Printer, a reduced footprint (64 percent of the 4245 Printer), quieter operation (58 dB versus 64 dB of the 4245-12), and easier to use operator controls. For example, the horizontal forms alignment procedure uses a single mechanical knob to adjust position and tension, the vertical alignment procedure is electronically controlled from the operator panel. Forms loading and band or ribbon replacement is now easier because they are all mounted on a swing gate which moves away from the form. The processing of pre-numbered forms is now enhanced because of the improved four tractor registration. Individual adjustment of left or right tractor sets is possible - or all four tractors can be adjusted simultaneously by a single knob. An off-line electronic operator's routine can change contrast, page length and vertical spacing - 6, 8 (and 3 or 4 on T models) lpi. The ability to specify both page length and vertical spacing from the host processor is possible. The service procedure changing hex code assignment in the microcode is a quick way of making unprintables visible as a printed character or masking out an unwanted character. Also supports some custom printbands that are minor variations of another band. Additional benefits of the 6262 printers include: standard OCR alphanumeric printing, a power stacker on all 1,400 lpm models, and an 80 character L.C.D. panel display - for operator messages. The 6262 Bar Code feature enhances the capabilities of the IBM 6262 printer family which will be particularly attractive to customers with high volume bar code printing requirements. PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Width: 1,000mm (39.4 in.) Depth: 850mm (33.5 in.) Height: 1,360mm (53.5 in.) Weight: 290kg (640 lbs.) (1,200 lpm models); 320kg (665 lbs.) (1,400 lpm models) 6262 IMPACT LINE PRINTER, 2200 LPM MODELS The A12, A14, and A22 models are for attachment to processors that utilize the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface and emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line mode printing of simple text and numbers. Recommended for attachment to these hosts whenever high speed, good print quality, and reliability as well as extended operational function are required for output. These 6262 models continue the performance standard of excellent print quality, enhanced ease-of-use and high reliability. MODEL A22 2200 lpm with a 48 character set. For attachment to processors that utilize the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface and emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line mode printing of simple text and numbers. All models are customer setup except channel Model 022. IBM setup is also available at the applicable IBM hourly service rates and minimum charges. HIGHLIGHTS o Higher speed models expand the 6262 family. o Enhanced reliability and a 12-month warranty. o Additional and improved ease of use features and procedures. o Lower power and space requirements over 4245 model printers. o Bar Code printing, AIAG and ODETTE labels, ladder format. o A22 Model for attachment to the PC Parallel and Serial (RS-232-C or RS-422-A) printer interface. The 6262 Models 022, D22, and T22 set new price performance standards for IBM high-speed impact line printers. Utilizing a fully formed character print band, they will produce a print quality equal to or better than the 4245 Model 20 printers. The operator-invoked flight timing, now incorporated into the platen instead of a separate timing bar, will allow easier maintenance of print quality by the operator. The Model 22 is suitable not only as the heavy duty computer center printer but also in office, manufacturing and warehouse environments, and where less trained personnel may use them. The acoustic rating of 57 dB (compared to 64 dB for the 4245 Model 20) allows installation in office environments without being disruptive. Also, the operating temperature range of 55 to 104F (13 to 40C) compared to 60 to 90F (16 to 32C) for the 4245 permits use in a wider variety of locations. A number of functions have been added, compared to the 6262 Model 12s and 14s, including: o The operator-invoked flight timing is now built in to the printer platen, thus eliminating the need to mount a separate flight timing bar. o Accommodation of forms widths up to 18.5 inches, compared to a maximum of 17.7 on most installed Models 12 and 14. However, the wider width is also now available on new Models 12 and 14 as of June 1989. o A hand-held convenience vacuum to facilitate general cleaning of the printer. o Job set-up, offers the capability to save values selected to print a specific job for use again later. Values saved are: lines per inch, line length, page length, print contrast, and flight-time tables. o An enhanced attention light. Forms related conditions (such as stacker full, end-of-forms, and forms jams) are indicated with a faster flashing rate than other conditions. The audible alarm can be programmed to sound in conjunction with the light. o A ribbon pass counter. This is helpful in more critical printing applications such as OCR and bar code to prevent going beyond the useful life of the ribbon. Forms loading and band or ribbon replacement are easily done because they are mounted on a swing gate that moves away from the form. The processing of pre-numbered forms is also enhanced because of the improved four tractor registration. Adjustment of the right hand tractor set is possible - or all four tractors can be adjusted simultaneously by a single knob. An offline electronic operator's routine can change contrast, page length, and vertical spacing - 6, 8, (and 3 or 4 on T models) lines/inch. Specifying both page length and vertical spacing from the host processor will override operator settings. Additional benefits of these 6262 models include: standard OCR (both A and B font) alphanumeric printing, a full power stacker, and an 80 character LCD panel display - for operator messages. PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Width: 1,000mm (39.4 inches) Depth: 850mm (33.5 inches) Height: 1,360mm (53.5 inches) Weight: 360kg (793 lbs.)

It scans various kinds and sizes of paper documents and is especially suitable for scanning images in bound documents, photographs or odd-sized documents. It scans with a resolution of 300 x 300 pels per inch. The 3119 PageScanner attaches to an IBM Personal System/2 Model 50 (8550-021, 8550-031, 8550-061), Model 60 (8560-041, 8560-071), Model 70 (8570-E61, 8570-121), and Model 80 (8580-041, 8580-071, 8580-111, 8580-311) via a 3119 Adapter/A installed in the system unit of these models. The 3119 PageScanner, when used with the supplied 'Starter Program', IBM ImagEdit(TM) Version 2.0 or IBM TextReader(TM) Version 1.0, offers an improved, cost efficient solution to many personal, professional or production publishing environments. (TM) Is a trademark of the IBM Corporation. MODEL 010 Low voltage, P/N 94X2410 MODEL S10 Low voltage, P/N 94X2520. Convenience ordering model. NOTE: When ordered with the convenience order model number S10, the 3119 PageScanner will be shipped with all components (PageScanner, Adapter/A, cable, power cord and "Guide to Operations" manual) in one carton. Only one 3119 PageScanner can be attached to a single PS/2. The 3119 PageScanner attaches to a PS/2, Model 50 or higher via the 3119 Adapter/A (P/N 94X2415, feature #5442 on the PS/2). A PS/2 expansion slot is required for this adapter. The 3119 PageScanner does not attach to any form of communication facility. The 3119 PageScanner is a customer setup machine. HIGHLIGHTS o Compact, desk-top flat-bed scanner for image input to PS/2 Model 50 or higher o Allows the scanning of photographs or pages from bound documents o Image scanned in black/white or up to 128 levels of gray o 300 x 300 pels per inch o Typical scan speed is from 14 to 28 seconds per letter size page depending on resolution and level of gray o Program selectable partial scan o Provides for adjustments to darkness and contrast o Operates with a 'Getting Started' program (shipped with the "PageScanner GTO" manual), ImagEdit Version 2.0 or TextReader Version 1.0. The 3119 PageScanner is a desk-top, flat-bed page scanner for use with a PS/2 Model 50 or higher. It scans up to letter or A4 size pages. The flat-bed design facilitates scanning photographs, pieces of odd size paper and pages from bound documents. The 3119 PageScanner scans at a resolution of 300 (horizontal) x 300 (vertical), or 300 x 150 picture elements (pels) per inch. The image is scanned as an 8-bit per pel gray scale value, a 4-bit per pel gray scale value or a 1-bit per pel black/white value. The gray scale values accurately represent 128 levels of gray, or 16 levels of gray respectively, per pel. The hardware and microcode of the PageScanner provides gray scale darkness control to produce distinguishable shades of gray from such originals as under- or over-exposed photographs, documents with color backgrounds or documents with characters in light colors. The scanner also provides gray scale contrast control to produce a clear, crisp image from a document with a weak contrast between foreground and background. Contrast control can also be used to soften changes in the original photograph. Although the 3119 PageScanner scans at a device resolution of 300 pels per inch, the application can request that the scanner return the data to the application at any resolution from one pel per inch to 600 pels per inch in one pel increments. This function is available for black/white and gray scale scanning and allows an application to capture an image at the resolution most appropriate to its processing. By so doing, both the amount of information captured, and the resulting file size, are minimized. Scaling of a scanned image size is performed in the scanner by changing the resolution from the original 300 x 300 pels per inch. For example, changing to 600 pel makes the original size four times larger. Scaling to 1/9 size requires the resolution to change from the original 300 x 150 pel to 100 x 100 pel. This flexible image size change is a function often required in editing a text and image page. The original image can be reduced to any resolution or can be expanded up to 600 pels per inch. A scaling algorithm in the PageScanner considers depth of gray level in each pel so that it can reproduce smooth gray scale quality of the original. The user can determine the scaling parameters when scanning the image data. Partial scanning allows scanning of only a portion of a page which the user wishes to capture. All scanning controls are specified by the user through the application program such as ImagEdit Version 2.0 or the 'Getting Started' program included with the PageScanner. Scanning speed varies depending on scanning resolution, levels of gray and PS/2 application performance. A minimum scan time of 14 seconds per letter size original is achieved when scanned with a resolution of 150 x 150 pels or less in black/white, 16 or 128 levels of gray. A scan time of 28 seconds per letter size original is achieved with: o A resolution of 240 x 240 pels in black/white or 16/128 levels of gray o A resolution of 300 x 300 pels in black/white or 16 levels of gray A scan time of 40 seconds per letter size original is achieved with a resolution of 300 x 300 pels in 128 levels of gray and 21 seconds with a resolution of 300 x 150 pels in 128 levels of gray. Additional time is required when enlarging an original. Partial scanning of an original typically can be accomplished faster. The user may specify the resolution in "pels per inch" through the user interface of ImagEdit Version 2.0 or the "Getting Started" program. The PageScanner takes extra steps to produce consistent quality and levels of gray scale image. It makes adjustments to its shading correction logic to match the current level of light intensity which may change from time to time. PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Width: 385mm (15.2 in.)
