Increase productivity, not your total cost of printing. Experience exceptional value with the monochrome laser Infoprint® 1372, which is designed for medium to large workgroups and a wide range of job types, including Web-based images. The Infoprint 1372’s robust 500 MHz processor supports a high duty cycle, reliably and economically. When you’re ready, integrate copy, fax and network scan capabilities.

The IBM 4529 Infoprint 1372 is a 45 page-per-minute (PPM) monochrome laser printer. The Infoprint 1372 is ideal for medium and even large-sized workgroups because of its speed, scalable input and output capacity, durability, and highly reliable printing. The IBM Infoprint 1372 is small enough to fit on a desktop, but can also be adapted to floor standing units with optional input options that can enable input capacities up to 4,100 sheets. This printer also offers a wide range of output options, including stapling capabilities, which can expand the printers' output capacity up to 3,000 sheets.

The Infoprint 1372 is ideal for medium-size to large workgroups looking for value in a robust laser printer. It offers:

• Fast output (45 PPM Maximum Speed)
• Broad range of connectivity options
• Excellent print quality
• Superb reliability and durability
• Innovative implementation of high-capacity input, output, and finishing options

The Infoprint 1372 printer supports a robust line of networking options that includes Fast Ethernet, Token-Ring, Twinax, and Coax. All models have a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port standard for local connections and optional parallel, and serial connections are available. The base model additionally comes with parallel standard. In terms of datastreams, the capability to integrate PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulation, Page Printer Data Stream (PPDS), and PDF v1.2 and v1.3 come standard; Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is optional.

The Infoprint 1372 is a monochrome printer that supports up to A4/Letter-size media at up to 45 pages per minute (PPM).

The printer comes in base models, and network models.

• Base Models:
  

  The base models come standard with 64 MB of memory, a 100-sheet auxiliary tray, and one 500-sheet drawer. Standard input capacity is 600 sheets and standard output capacity is 500 sheets. Model 001 is the low-voltage model and 002 is the high-voltage model.
  

• Network Models:
  

  The network models come standard with 80 MB of memory, a 100-sheet auxiliary tray, one 500-sheet drawer, and 10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet card. Standard input capacity is 600 sheets and standard output capacity is 500 sheets. Model N01 is the low-voltage model and N02 is the high-voltage model.

The Infoprint 1372 has special models for the U.S. government. Model 004 is the base low-voltage model and 005 is the base high-voltage model. Model N04 is the network low-voltage model and N05 is the network high-voltage model.

High Performance Controller

The Infoprint 1372 controller comes with a 500 MHz processor. It comes with PostScript 3 and PCL 6 emulation, PDF v1.2 and v1.3 as standard data streams and a PPDS migration tool.

• Memory:
  

  The controller has two slots for memory DIMMs, two slots for flash memory cards or application solution cards, and two slots for internal network adapters, local adapters or hard drives.

  The base models come with 64 MB of memory soldered onboard and can support a maximum of 320 MB of memory with two 128 MB DIMMs installed. The network models come with 80 MB of memory soldered onboard and can support a maximum of 336 MB of memory with two 128 MB DIMMs installed. A 20+ GB hard disk with adapter feature is available.

  Flash memory up to 32 MB is supported using the flash memory cards. Flash memory cards can be installed in either option card slot, but the controller supports only one flash memory card.
  

• Printer System Attachment Interfaces:
  The base models come with an IEEE 1284 Parallel interface with a type B connector and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface as standard.

  The network models come with a USB interface, and a 10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet interface as standard. They do not have a Parallel interface. The standard Fast Ethernet interface does not take up the network adapter slot. Wireless Ethernet is supported through the wired Ethernet on either the base models with the Ethernet option installed or the network models.

Additional Media Guidelines

Follow the media guidelines below for successful printing:

Paper

• Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in lower print quality and more frequent paper feed failures.
• Colored papers must be able to withstand 190 deg C (400 deg F) fusing temperature.
• Preprinted forms and letterheads should be selected using guidelines found in the printer User's Guide. The chemical process used in preprinting may render some papers unsuitable for use with the Infoprint 1372.
• Unsuitable papers include multipart forms and documents; chemically treated papers; coated, synthetic and thermal papers; and preprinted papers requiring a high degree of registration.
• Recycled paper less than 80g/sqm may cause unacceptable results.

• All envelopes should be new, unused, and without package damage.
• Envelopes with excessive curl or twist exceeding 6 mm, those stuck together, those with bent corners or nicked edges, or those that interlock should not be used.
• Minimum weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb.)
• The following envelopes should not be used:
  • Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing.
  • Envelopes with metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
  • Envelopes with exposed flap adhesive when the flap is in the closed position.
  • For best results, printing on new 90 g/m2 (24 lb.) sulfite or 25% cotton bond envelopes is recommended.
  • Under high humidity conditions (over 60%), envelopes may seal during printing.

• Use letter or A4-size sheets only.
• Transparencies specifically designed for xerographic copy machines or laser printers may be used with the Infoprint 1372.

Labels should be selected using guidelines found in the User's Reference, Complete Printer Reference, and tested for acceptability. VINYL AND POLYESTER LABELS ARE NOT SUPPORTED.

Printer Stand Recommendations

• To minimize the possibility of tipping when the printer is configured with three or more paper drawers, the use of a printer stand is recommended.
• Under no circumstances should the bottom of the base printer or the bottom of the duplex unit, if installed, be higher than 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) above the printer stand side shelves.

The spool file which may contain many individual documents is customized by separating it into individual jobs or by adding data or particular commands to the individual documents that are then sent to IP, LPR, or Windows printer destinations. The additional data or commands may be to staple, separate documents with a cover page, copy and collate, print on both sides, offset stack, fax, or hole punch each individual job. Print jobs are customized and distributed electronically to network printers automatically without making any changes to host applications.

Optra Forms is supported on the Infoprint 1372 using a Optra Forms flash or Hard Disk. Only one Optra Forms flash DIMM is supported.

Optra Forms Manager lets you:

• Keep a master copy of all forms on a PC
• Update all printers at same time over TCP/IP after a printer query for its resident Styles and creation dates. Only matching Styles (flash files) with different creation dates are downloaded to the printer over TCP/IP.
• Import a printer IP address txt file (also from MarkVision(tm) registry)
• Select the printers to which the Download or Update operations apply.
• Run the update as a batch job
• Create a log file to know successful printer updates
• Create a Style report and save it to a comma separated variable (CSV) file giving better knowledge about the forms in all the printer. The Style report includes the printer listed by their IP address or DNS name and a description, Style names and their versions and the Optra Forms Merge program version in each printer.
• Create PDF files (using Acrobat Distiller) of the data merged with forms after retrieving archive data files from the Optra Forms hard disk. The PDF file can be saved as a softcopy archive file.

  
  Note: With an Optra Forms hard disk, create a job buffering partition or change its size. After the disk is formatted and partitioned, the Optra Forms Merge program is written to the disk.

Optra Forms Manager is now available on a separate CD for those customers who want to use this program to more effectively manage their Optra Forms printers over TCP/IP. Other third party service providers can also manage their customers forms more cost effectively.

For Direct Twinaxial Attachment - Hardware Compatibility

When the printer contains an optional Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe and the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS (P/N 28P1842) with a twinaxial cable, the printer attaches to the following IBM hardware:

• iSeries servers and e-systems
• iSeries Twinaxial Workstation Controllers
• iSeries Advanced System/36 Twinaxial Workstation Controller
• 5494 Remote Control Unit
• 5394 Remote Control Unit

• Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS (P/N 28P1842) microcode level H02-8491 or later is required.
• There must be two separate twinax addresses, one for the SCS emulation using the Adapter for SCS and another for the Card's IPDS emulation. The Adapter for SCS does not require the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe to support SCS.
• The Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS provides SCS data stream support for a twinax connection that requires both IPDS and SCS data stream support when using the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe.

When the printer contains the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe and the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS with a coaxial cable, the printer attaches to the following IBM hardware:

• IBM 3174 Control Unit
• ES/9000 Work Station Subsystem Controller
• IBM 3174 compatible control units

Note: The Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS provides SCS data stream support for a coax connection that requires both IPDS and SCS data stream support when using the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe.

For Direct Coaxial Attachment - Software Compatibility

The IBM host software requirements for AFP/IPDS printing when the printer is emulating an IBM 381x, 43xx, 311x or 4028 printer are as follows:

• Any application or host software that generates the AFP/IPDS data stream for one of the emulated printers such as:
  • PSF/VSE V2.2.1
  • PSF/VM V2.1.1 (with maintenance)
  • PSF for OS/390
  • PSF/400
  • Infoprint Manager
  • GDDM V2.3 with APARs
  • RSCS V3.2 or later

• Minimum required = 0
• Maximum allowed = 1
• Prerequisite = Infoprint 1120, 1125, 1130, 1140, 1145, 1226, 1332, 1352, 1372 printer with a standard network connection (n or dn models). Infoprint 1120 must have 32 MB of memory.
• Co-requisite = None
• Conflict = the decryption feature plugs into the firmware slot in the printer and is mutually exclusive with the application solution features including Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe (FC 4820), Bar Code (FC 4870) and ImageQuick Card (FC 4821). This feature cannot be installed on any of the "in" models.

This feature offers an encryption solution for print output on hosts such as a mainframe, UNIX server, Microsoft Windows PC or Apple workstation that connect over a TCP/IP network to the IBM workgroup printer. The decryption card is installed in the printer and decryption takes place at the printer for maximum security.

This decryption solution is based on Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS-197) for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This standard specifies Rijndael as the encryption algorithm. AES is the new encryption standard that replaces DES, the old standard. AES is a symmetric algorithm supporting key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits for encryption. A symmetric algorithm uses a single key for both encryption and decryption. A key length of 256 bits provides 1.1 times 10 to the power of 77 possible combinations which makes it extremely difficult for eavsdroppers to decrypt intercepted print jobs.

The decryption feature also supports sessions keys. Session keys are used during a specific host session with the printer. The key is different for every session providing maximum security. Most competitive decryption solutions don't support session keys.

Connectivity Requirements for Decryption Feature

The printer must be connected to an ethernet network using TCP/IP. This feature only work on printer models with a standard ethernet port. It will not work with any of the optional ethernet print server features. The decryption card plugs into the firmware slot in the printer and is mutually exclusive with the application solution features such as IPDS, Bar Code, and ImageQuick.

Unique TCP/IP port numbers are used for encrypted print jobs. The decryption card decrypts and prints information appropriate for the port.

This feature is supported on the following IBM drivers:

• Sun Solaris 7, 8, 9
• HP-UX 11
• IBM AIX 4.3, 5.0
• Linux (Re Hat, Caldera, SuSE, TurboLinux)
• Windows 98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP

The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe provides AFP/IPDS and SCS (LU1) data stream support for IBM mainframe and iSeries computers. The Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe allows customers to print AFP/IPDS or SCS(LU1) documents over TCP/IP to LAN printers or over distributed SNA networks using the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS with a coaxial or twinaxial cable connected printer.

Detailed information on this feature is provided below. This feature is installed in the optional firmware slot. It supports monochrome printing only.

IPDS is only supported for Single Byte Character Set and does not support Double Byte Character Set.

Differences Between These Printers IPDS and Previous IBM Printers

These workgroup printers have a different level IPDS support than the previous IBM workgroup printers. Some key differences are:

• For emulation, the Infoprint 1100 Series printers emulate the 4028, 4312, 4317, 4324, 3812/16, and 3112/16. These are LF1 emulations ONLY.
• Infoprint 1372 printers do not support "Manage IPDS Dialog".

Product Overview:

• The SCS/TNe or IPDS configuration settings can be changed using MarkNet print server's resident web server, a browser and the printer's IP address.
• For IPDS emulation printing, the capture of outline fonts (LF3) is now supported.

IBM continues to make it easy for IS/IT managers to have an affordable printing solution in a distributed network or on a LAN for applications or software that generate AFP/IPDS or SCS. This includes:

• PDF417 2D bar code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode 2D bar code support
• Using AFP/IPDS and PSF, capture fonts to hard disk or to flash memory resulting in reduced network traffic over LAN, coaxial or twinaxial connections.
• Supports TN3270E or TN5250E SCS (LU1) over the LAN using TCP/IP with Telnet.
• No changes to host applications.
• Supports emulation of common IBM IPDS and SCS printers.
• Additional or new remote controllers with twinax or coax cabling are unnecessary. However, twinax and coax connections continue to be available using the Coax/Twinax Adapter for SCS.
• One LAN printer can print LAN (PostScript, PCL, etc) and mainframe or iSeries documents (AFP/IPDS, SCS).

With the appropriate host software and one of these options, the IBM printer emulates an IBM mainframe or iSeries host printer. See the compatibility section for details.

With the TN3270E and TN5250E extended Telnet protocol support in these options, the printer emulates one TN3270E printer session and up to 4 TN5250E printer sessions using the LU1 SCS data stream over TCP/IP. This is supported directly from an iSeries or from a mainframe using TCP/IP or through any TN3270E capable gateway that supports TN3270E according to RFC 2355. The DSC/DSE or SCS data streams over LU3 or LU0 are not supported. The Telnet protocol function is only supported with through the standard Ethernet network port or with the MarkNet N2000 print servers. See the compatibility section for more details.

For IPDS emulation, the card supports resident scalable fonts and 300, 600, 1200 image quality or 1200 dpi (except Infoprint 1145) print resolutions. The resolution is selected through an IPDS MENU setting. This setting determines the print resolution of IPDS text, graphics, bar code, scalable image and scalable font data.

The printer can be configured to take advantage of additional RAM, and when attached to a LAN through the standard Ethernet port or a MarkNet print server, can save IPDS resources to improve performance for complex IPDS print jobs with host resources such as fonts, overlays or page segments.

The IPDS emulation supports the IPDS data and resource towers. SBCS fonts can now be downloaded, captured and saved to hard disk or flash memory in the printer. The US Postal Bar code POSTNET font and the Euro currency symbol are supported within IPDS.

The Euro currency symbol is also supported for the SCS, PostScript and PCL 6 emulations.

Fonts

AFP/IPDS Font and Typestyle Support:

The Card for IPDS supports resident scalable fonts. The font complement with 12 typestyles supports the IBM Font Collection (Core Int erchange Scalable Font Sets - Courier, Times New Roman and Helvetica faces).

The following languages are supported:

• Latin 1: Afrikaans, Belgian (French and Dutch), Brazilian Portuguese, Canadian English, Canadian French, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Latin American Spanish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish (Castillian), Swedish, Swiss (German, French and Italian), United Kingdom English, United States English
• Latin 2/ROECE: Albanian, Croatian, Czech, East German, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian
• Latin 3, 4, 5 and 6: Maltese, Turkish, Estonian, Greenlandic, Lappish, Latvian, Lithuanian
• Greek
• Cyrillic for: Bulgarian, Byelorussian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Ukrainian.

The following fonts are supported using bitmaps: APL 12, Boldface PS, Boldface Italic PS, OCR-A 10, OCR-B 10 and Prestige PS. The OCR bitmap fonts have different FGIDs than the scalable font versions.

The IBM 4028 Compatibility Font set consists of 22 fixed pitch typestyles supported by bitmap fonts. Times Roman typestyles (13) are created from Times New Roman scalable typestyles of the same weight and style.

The IBM 3812/3816 Compatibility Font set consists of 35 typestyles supported by bitmap fonts at 240 dpi.

Font Capture

Fonts can also be captured dynamically and saved (cached) to hard disk or flash memory in the printer. A captured font then appears as a printer resident font. If many fonts are used in the jobs that are printed, capturing fonts and saving them in the printer will decrease network traffic on busy networks.

PSF defines fonts as either public or private. In order to capture a font, it must be marked as eligible and public. A private font is not eligible to be captured.

Note: Do not mark sensitive fonts such as signatures and MICR fonts as eligible to be captured. Check the font licensing information before a font is made eligible for capture.

If a font is to be captured, the appropriate files for the coded font or character set and code page resources must all be marked.

The printer must also be defined as capable to capture fonts in PSF. For bitmap fonts, the font resolution of the font captured must match the resolution of the emulated printer for it to be recognized by the printer as a printer resident font. For example, the IBM 3812 and 3816 printer emulations require 240 dpi fonts. The IBM 4028 printer emulation requires 300 dpi fonts.

iSeries

On the iSeries, Font capture is supported by OS/400 V5R1 or later. To define the printer as capable to capture, in the PSF configuration (CRTPSFCFG/CHGPSFCFG), set FNTCAPTURE (*YES).

Eligible fonts must be marked. Display the font attributes to identify marked fonts (DSPFNTRSCA). Verify that *YES is specified for the Font Capture attribute. Use Create Font Resource (CRTFNTRSC) to mark font resources from other systems. Use Change Font Resource (CHGFNTRSC) to mark fonts that are not marked as eligible.

For a font to be eligible for capture, it must have non zero fields for FGID and GCSGID. Any fonts captured and saved in the printer's hard disk or flash memory are saved across instances of the writer.

Mainframe (OS/390 or z/OS)

Font capture is supported by PSF for OS/390 or z/OS. Use APSRMARK to mark eligible fonts if they are not already marked. The IBM Font Collection fonts are already marked as eligible for capture.

SCS Font and Typestyle Support

The SCS emulation uses the default resolution set using the Quality menu from the printer's operator panel. The SCS emulation in the card uses PCL fonts from the printer firmware. If the printer is set to 600 dpi, then all SCS data is printed with 600 dpi PCL fonts. It is possible to imbed PCL and PJL commands into the SCS data stream and pass them to the printer utilizing ASCII transparency.

On the iSeries, fonts can be selected by specifying the FGID (Font Global Identifier) or by characters per inch (CPI). With IBM mainframes, only CPI font selection is possible.

A parameter in the SCS data stream (Final Form Text (Level 2) Document Content Architecture (FFT (L2) DCA)) Page Presentation media (PPM) command is used to control Duplex printing.

These 6 fonts are included in SCS emulation as 300 dpi bitmap fonts: OCR-B (3), Boldface Italic (155), Boldface (159), Essay (160), Essay Bold (163) and Document (175).

Compatibility

For the Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe, IPDS is supported under the IPDS MENU settings and SCS is supported under the SCS/TNe MENU settings.

Notes:

• Microcode updates and User's Guides are available from the IBM web site.
• See the appropriate User's Guide for configuration instructions.
• When the printer is emulating an IBM printer, the function supported depends on the IBM host software.

When the printer contains an optional Card for IPDS and SCS/TNe, it attaches to a network using one of the following MarkNet print servers:

• Standard Ethernet (100BaseTX/10BaseT) Network port in the printer
• MarkNet(tm) N2000 Series print servers
• MarkNet X2000 Series print servers (AFP/IPDS only)
• MarkNet Pro print servers (AFP/IPDS only)

Notes:

• MarkNet N2000 microcode level 3.15.x or later is required for SCS/TNe support.
• For OptraImage network ports, microcode level 5.15.x or later is required for SCS/TNe support.
• Any MarkNet X2000 microcode level provides AFP/IPDS support only.
• For IPDS printing, a minimum of 16MB of printer memory is required.

The IBM host software requirements for AFP/IPDS printing when the printer is emulating an IBM 381x, 43xx, 311x or 4028 printer are:

• OS/400 V5R1 or later through PSF/400(1).

Software Compatibility for SCS LU1 Printing over TCP/IP

The IBM iSeries software requirements for TN5250e SCS (LU1) printing using up to 4 sessions when the printer is emulating an IBM 3812-01 printer are:

• OS/400 V5R1 or later with all PTFs applied

The IBM mainframe software requirements for TN3270e SCS (LU1) printing using one session when the printer is emulating an IBM 3287 printer are:

• IBM Communications Server (CS) for OS/390 or z/OS Version 2 Release 5 or later on ESA systems
• Note: All appropriate APARs must be applied.
• TCP/IP for VM/ESA Version 2 Release 4 or later (function level 310 or later)
• TCP/IP for VSE/ESA V1 R3 or later using General Print Server Feature
• Using Cisco 7500 Series Routers

If TN3270E capable SNA gateway software supports the TN3270E protocol according to RFC 2355, then a TN3270e session can be used to print SCS jobs directly from a mainframe or iSeries. Examples of these gateways are:

• IBM SecureWay Communications Server 6.0.2 for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, AIX, UnixWare 7, OS/2 Warp
• Microsoft NetResults SNA Server 4.0
• Novell NetWare for SAA 4 as either a TN3270E Server or TN5250 Server
