Wide Format The maximum print width of the Infoprint 5000 family is inches (507 mm). Print Speed The following table shows the maximum print speed of the Infoprint 5000 Models CS1, and CD1/2 in ipm. 8.5 x A4 11 inch 2-up 2-up (side-by- (side-by side) side) ipm(3) Model Mode Resolution(2) ipm(3) CS1 Simplex 720 x CD1/2 Duplex 720 x (2) Resolution is in DPI (dots-per-inch), (3) ipm is impressions-per-minute Tractorless (Pinless) Paper Drive The Infoprint 5000 uses an integrated tractorless paper drive. The tractorless paper drive allows either pinless or pinned paper to be used. Note that some preand post-processing devices require the use of pinned paper. Pre- and Post-Processing Devices Pre- and Post-Processing equipment that support a tight web is required for the Infoprint A type 1 interface modified for the Infoprint 5000 is used to attach pre- and post-processing IBM Asia Pacific Announcement AG IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2

3 devices. Duplex Printing The Infoprint 5000 tandem duplex system consists of two printers (the CD1 with the CD2) that work together to print on both sides of the media. Duplex printing is achieved by arranging the two printers in series, separated by the "I" or "L" Turnbar so that the continuous forms exiting from the first printer go through a Turnbar that turns the forms over (inverts them) before entering the second printer. The first printer in the paper path prints one side of a form; the second printer in the paper path prints the other side of the form. The following table summarizes the Turnbars required for the Infoprint 5000 Models CD1/2 duplex configurations. Configuration Required Turnbar "I" (In-Line) Turnbar "I" (#9410, 4410) "L" (Left-Angle) Turnbar "L" (#9420, 4420) Web Cleaner (#9460, 9461 or 9462) A web cleaner is included with the Infoprint The purpose of this unit is to neutralize static and to clean paper dust and paper chads from the continuous form media prior to the media entering the printer. The web cleaner with the correct voltage must be specified when the printer is ordered. The web cleaner contains a universal attachment kit to allow its attachment to an unwinder and is powered separately from the printer.

Operating environment Environmental Requirements: In order to achieve and sustain best machine performance and IBM Asia Pacific Announcement AG IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 7

8 print quality, the Models CS1, CD1 and CD2 must be operated within the following environmental envelope. Nominal Operating Range Temperature: 18 to 24 C (64 to 75 F) Relative Humidity: 40% to 60% Acceptable Operating Range: Temperature: 18 to 28 C (60.8 to 82.4 F) Relative Humidity: 30% to 80% For more specific printer environment information, refer to the Planning and Configuration Guide. Hardware requirements Attachment Features: An integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit TCP/IP adapter is included with the Infoprint 5000 Models CS1 and CD2. Software requirements: The Infoprint 5000 Models CS1, CD1, and CD2 are designed to print PDF Level 1.6 and PostScript Level 3 print jobs. The printer controller uses Microsoft Shared Folders as "hot folders" for receipt of print jobs. From a print submission workstation or server, users will map the hot folder to their local system and copy files to it to get jobs into the printer. Hot folders may be configured with unique job attributes. The printer features a simple 2-up function suitable for slit-merge finishing applications. Any other changes to document format and layout may require additional processing with imposition software before a file is submitted for printing. Although an IBM print server is not required to print PostScript Level 3 and PDF Level 1.6 jobs on the Infoprint 5000, it is possible to use this printer with IBM Infoprint ProcessDirector, IBM Infoprint Manager for AIX, or IBM Infoprint Manager for Windows. If you run the printer with one of these print servers, the following software levels are required: Windows Infoprint Manager for Windows V2.2 with PTF UO00352, or later releases. Refer to Infoprint Manager for Windows: Procedures (G ) for limitations of the Infoprint 5000 support. The supported datastreams include: AIX PDF and PostScript AFP and line-data with one of the following prerequisites: -- The IBM AFP2PDF Transform V1.3 for Infoprint Manager (PRPQ 8A8174, 5799-HBQ), or later, is installed -- IBM Infoprint Transform Manager V1.2.0 SP3 (5639-P51), or later, and the IBM AFP2PDF Transform for Linux V1.1 (PRPQ 8A8174, 5799-TWL) are installed. Linux (SLES) Infoprint ProcessDirector for Linux V1.2, or later releases, with a Samba client. The supported datastreams include: PDF and PostScript AFP and line-data if IBM Infoprint Transform Manager V1.2.0 SP3 (5639-P51), or later, and the IBM AFP2PDF Transform for Linux V1.1 (PRPQ 8A8174, 5799-TWL) are installed. Software Limitations No SNMP Support IBM Print Services Facility for z/os, IBM Print Services Facility for VM, IBM Print Services Facility for VSE, and IBM Print Services Facility for iseries software platforms do not support the Infoprint 5000 Models CS1, CD1, and CD2.
