The IBM Infoprint 4000 model IS1 and Model IS2 are high-speed, high-production, continuous-forms, all-points-addressable simplex laser printers that offer 240/300 dpi switchable resolution.

The Infoprint 4000 is based on the industry leading 3900 family and IBM's state-of-the-art Advanced Function Common Control Unit (AFCCU). The IBM Infoprint 4000 is equipped with the next generation AFCCU which enables resolution switching from 240 dpi to 300 dpi and vice-versa. In addition, the new AFCCU enables host managed paper jam recovery through the customer's post-processing equipment, new operator function enabling flexibility, up to 512MB of performance enabling memory, and support for adding toner while the printer is in operation.

Customers in the banking, communications, insurance, utilities, and other industries who send statements, bills, policies, and other forms of communications to their customers can utilize the IBM Infoprint 4000 to maximize the productivity of their printing operations. With the capability and flexibility of receiving either 240 dpi or 300 dpi datastreams and printing them on a single printer, customers can have the option of reducing overall printing costs by eliminating redundant printers that up to now were necessary to maintain the capability and options of printing either 240 or 300 dpi datastreams.

The IBM Infoprint 4000 Model IS2 is a high-speed, high-production, continuous forms, all-points-addressable simplex printing system that offers switchable (operator selectable) 240/300 dpi resolution with a throughput speed of up to 501 impressions-per-minute (IPM). These speeds are quoted as 2-up, side-by-side 8.5 x 11-inch portrait. Respective throughputs for European format A4 paper sizes are up to 472 IPM.

Paper Handling

Input Continuous Forms

The IBM Infoprint 4000 IS1 and IS2 Advanced Production Printers have a paper supply capacity of 16 inches (406 mm) of fanfold paper.

Installing special feature code 4710 enables the attachment of the customer's choice of several available high capacity roll feed devices that will enable the customer to fully utilize the high-productivity capabilities of the IBM Infoprint 4000 family. Such roll feed input devices enable continuous printing of several hours between paper loading.

There is a standard splicing station to minimize waste and increase operator efficiency.

Output Continuous Forms

The IBM Infoprint 4000 IS1 and IS2 Advanced Production Printer is provided with a stacker with a maximum paper capacity of up to 14 inches (356 mm) in height. The actual height may be operator adjusted to limit the weight of the output stack of paper. The stacker can stack paper with lengths between 7 and 14 inches (178 and 356 mm).

The ability to attach post-processing equipment (feature codes 4710 and 4720) allows additional input and output capabilities.

Supplies

Supplies used with the IBM Infoprint 4000 models IS1 and IS2 are the same as those used with the 3900-0W1.

Regular Supply Items:

• "Multi-Roll Developer" Toner (P/N 70X7425):
  • Unit: 1,360 gram bottle. Part number represents one bottle.
  • Packaging: Eight bottles per carton.
  • Minimum Order Qty: Eight of P/N 70X7425, which equals 1 carton.
• Enhanced Printing Toner (P/N 1402833):
  • The new toner is a polyester based toner. It will be packaged in a new bottle having a slightly different interlock and a GREEN cap. The different interlock will prevent the new toner bottle from being attached to the Toner Inlet of a printer not having the Enhanced Printing Toner Adapter Kit installed.
  • When printing at 4% coverage on 100 square inches per foot, the Yield (Note 1) = 48,500 feet per 1.5kg (3.3lb.) bottle.
  • High-Speed Printers (Model IS2, ID3, ID4) and High-Resolution (Models IR1, IR2, IR3, and IR4) may experience a yield approximately 10% less (43,600 feet per 1.5kg bottle).
• "Multi-Roll Developer" Mix (P/N 70X7426):
  • Unit: 4 kilogram bottle. Part number represents one bottle.
  • Packaging: Two bottles per carton.
  • Minimum Order Qty: Two of P/N 70X7426, which equals one carton.
• Enhanced Printing Developer (P/N 69G7379):

The new developer will be delivered in a new bottle with a GREEN cap. The developer yield is as follows:

Note: (1) Yield data is approximate and is to be used for planning purposes only. Actual usage should be used to establish the life of the supply product in each customer's specific application environment.

• Splicing Tape (P/N 4165880):
  • Unit: One carton. Part number represents one carton.
  • Packaging: 72 rolls of splicing tapes per carton. Roll is 45 feet by 1/2 inch.

Maintenance Supply Items:

Fuser oil, oiler belt, and the fine filter are maintenance supply items that are provided under the IBM Monthly Maintenance Charge. Approximately 90 days stock of these items are shipped with the printer. Follow-on stocks of these maintenance supplies are ordered by the customer through IBM. An 800 telephone number for ordering follow-on maintenance supplies is provided with the initial shipment that arrives with the printer.
