IBM 3287 Printer
IBM 3287 Printer

Replaced by 4224, 4230, 4247 (oldest to newest)

The IBM 3287 is a printer that provides hard copy output from various storage and processing machines.

Models 001 and 002 attach to a 3271 Model 1, 2, 11 or 12, or a 3272 Model 1 or 2, or a 3791 Controller, or a 3274 (all Models), or a 3276 Model 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13 or 14, or an 8775 or 3601, 3602, 3694, or 4701 Model 1 or 2, the 8101 Storage and Input/Output Unit of the 8100 Information System, or the 3814 Switching Management System Model A. The 3287 Model 001 or 002 also attaches directly to the (4321 in US and EMEA) or 4341 Processor, to the 4331 or 4361 Processor via Display Print Adapter, or Workstation Adapter to the 3081/3083/3084 Processor through the 3082 Processor Controller, to the 3090 Processor through the 3092 Processor Controller, and to the S/370 Model 138 or 148 via the Integrated Console Printer Adapter, and to the 9370 via the Workstation Subsystem Controller.

Model 011 and 012 provide hard copy output for the 8100 Information System or a 4331 Processor via Loop Attachment.

Models C01 and C02 provide output in black or color by using replaceable ribbon cartridges when attached to the 3274, 3276, 4361 Display Printer Adapter or Workstation Adapter and the 8775. Also attaches directly to all models of the 4300 processor, and the 9370 Workstation Subsystem Controller. Compared to black or monochrome printing, throughput will be reduced when printing in multi-color as a function of the number of color changes on the page due to a separate pass of the print head for each color on a line. In addition, when printing in other than the standard character format (4 of 7 horizontal x 8 vertical dots) and using the Programmed Symbols (PS) special feature (#5781, #5782, #5783), the machines will print at reduced speeds. Under these conditions, Models 2 and C02 will print at the reduced speed of the Models 1 and C01. Dense printing when using the PS feature will also lessen printer throughput. The printer prints in one direction only, right to left, when an all black print line exceeds 120 print positions.

Note: Actual printer throughput is dependent upon operational and system characteristics. Factors such as controller configuration and line transmission speed, output format, and programming application processing must all be considered in determining actual throughput.

Features, Model Conversions, and Accessories for all models are No Longer Available.
