• 1100 cps at 10 characters per inch (cpi) in Fast Draft mode
• 800 cps in DP mode
• 480 cps in DP Text mode
• 240 cps in NLQ mode

The print speed in lines per minute is up to:

• 500 lines per minute at 40 characters per line
• 300 lines per minute at 132 characters per line

Heavy-Duty, Reliable Printing

The 4247-V03 is a professional industrial heavy-duty printer with metal covers and a workload capacity of up to 64,000 pages per month. The 18-wire print head provides reliable printing on up to 8-part forms in DP, DP Text, and NLQ print modes.

Flexible Forms Handling

The IBM 4247 Printer provides exceptional forms-handling flexibility. The base printer includes one continuous-forms tractor path, and a second continuous-forms front tractor paper path is optional. No rear tractor path is available.

This dual front paper path capability can translate into a single printer performing work that formerly required two or more printers. Users can load different forms into each tractor path and then enable the path that corresponds to the desired print job.

Print Quality Comparison

Fast Draft is a print quality for the IBM 4247 that is available only on the Model V03. The Data Processing (DP), Data Processing Text (DP Text), Near Letter Quality (NLQ), OCR-A, and OCR-B print qualities on the 4247-V03 are equivalent in character size, shape, and resolution to the print qualities available on the 4247 Model A00, 001, 002, and 003 printers.

The following table summarizes the print quality for Fast Draft, DP, DP Text, and NLQ.

                          DPI               Cell Size (Dots)

   NLQ               100        144          20           18
 

Operator Panel

The 4247-V03 includes the same full-function, full-size operator panel as today's Model 003. It includes a 2 line by 40 character display, making messages and menus easy to understand.

Printer Data-Stream Emulations

Emulation modes to easily replace many older printers include:

• ASCII emulation for the IBM Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381 Personal Printer, and Epson FX printers
• Coax emulations for the IBM 3268, IBM 3287, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230
• Twinax emulations for the IBM 4214, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230

In addition, native IBM 4247 mode is selectable with each attachment.

Parallel Attachment

The IBM 4247 Model V03 base printer includes a parallel port as standard. For the parallel port:

• Printers emulated are Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381 Personal Printer, and Epson FX80 - 1170.
• Data streams supported are PPDS and Epson FX.

Optional Twinax and Coax SCS Attachment Features

The optional Coax SCS Attachment:

• Emulates the IBM 3268/3287, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230 as well as providing native support for the IBM 4247
• Supports 3270/DSC/DSE and SCS data streams

The optional Twinax SCS Attachment:

• Emulates the IBM 4214 and IBM 4230
• Supports the PDS data stream

Each attachment also supports native IBM 4247 mode.

Optional Twinax and Coax IPDS Attachment Features

With the Coax IPDS Attachment (#4240, #4242) and Twinax IPDS Attachment (#4220, #4222), the 4247-V03 can be driven by Advanced Function Presentation (AFP(TM) applications supported by Print Services Facility (PSF(TM)) and GDDM(R).

Optional Ethernet LAN Attachment Capability

Ethernet 10/100 BaseT Ethernet LAN attachment for either ASCII or IPDS is provided via the Ethernet adapters (#4270, #4272 for ASCII and #4280, #4282 for IPDS)

These adapters:

• Provide a fully integrated 10/100 BaseT Ethernet solution
• Are easier to configure than previous 4247 Ethernet offerings

The IPDS adapter replaces the Ethernet I-Data RPQ (RPQ #8B4314), and can be used for either IPDS or ASCII.

With either adapter, the 4247 parallel port is available. (The older ASCII Ethernet adapter, #4260, #4262 utilize the parallel port so that it is not available.)

Hot interface and hot port switching:

• ASCII Parallel and ASCII LAN hot interface switching is supported
• ASCII LAN TCP, LPR,Telnet,and FTP hot port switching is supported
• Hot port switching between the IPDS LAN port and ASCII LAN ports is not supported. Manual switching between IPDS and ASCII is required to switch between these ports.

Protocols Supported by the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT Adapters

The following protocols are supported by the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT adapters (feature numbers 4270, 4272, 4280, and 4282):

• Ethernet II, SNAP, 802.2, 802.3 and following
• TCP/IP (UDP, ARP, RARP, ICMP, PING, BOOTP, DHCP, FTP, PSF/AFP IPDS)
• SMB/NetBIOS
• SMTP
• LPR/LPD
• Direct Socket Printing
• HTTP

Loading Network Configuration Settings

The network configuration protocol and security settings can be set either from the Operator Panel or from a Web Browser. Detailed information is contained in the 4247 Ethernet NIC Installation Guide (G544-5480).

Microsoft Windows Print Drivers

Print Drivers for Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP are shipped on the CD-ROM included with these features.

Current 4247 Network Print Server and IPDS LAN Attachment Capability

These Ethernet adapters provide a fully integrated Ethernet solution and normally will be the preferred Ethernet adapters.

Other LAN attachment capability is available via:

• The Network Print Server features (#4121, #4124, #4164, #4165) provide network attachment via the parallel port for Token-Ring and Ethernet. The Network Print Servers plug into the printer parallel port. For Ethernet, the new Ethernet NIC features are installed in the 4247 expansion slot and the parallel port is still available. The Network Print Server and the above RPQs provide the capability for both LAN support and twinax, coax, or serial support on the same IBM 4247 Printer.
• The I-Data 7913 (RPQ numbers 8B4313 and 8B4314) provides either Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN attachment for IPDS data for twinax and coax printers.

  RPQ #8B4313 provides Token-Ring IPDS support. This RPQ is still required for IPDS Token-Ring. RPQ #8B4314 provides Ethernet IPDS support, and normally the Ethernet IPDS NIC, rather than this RPQ, will now be the preferred solution.

  Neither of these RPQs can be installed when the Ethernet NIC features are installed.

While a Network Print Server and one of the I-Data 7913 RPQs (either RPQ 8B4313 or 8B4314) can both be installed on the same 4247-V03, only one of either the Network Print Server or the I-Data 7913 RPQ network attachments can be active at any time. Manual network switching between the ASCII (Network Print Server) and IPDS (I-Data RPQ) is required to switch between the attachments.

While a Network Print Server and one of the Ethernet 10/100 NICs can be installed on the same 4247, only one of either the Network Print Server or the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC attachments can be active at any time. Manual switching between the ASCII (Network Print Server) and the IPDS Ethernet 10/100 BaseT NIC is required to switch between the attachments.

Replacement, Addition, and Installation of Attachment Cards for Installed Printers

These Ethernet adapters can replace installed adapters on installed IBM 4247 Model 003 and V03 Printers.

The following table shows the allowable replacements and additions of attachment cards for installed IBM 4247-V03 and 4247-003 Printers, and the feature to order to replace or add an adapter. All of these replacements and additions are easily installed by customers, and do not require IBM Field Engineering for installation.

Note: (1) "Any Attachment" is Twinax IPDS, Twinax SCS, Coax SCS, Coax IPDS, Serial, Ethernet LAN, ASCII NIC, or IPDS NIC, and includes "no attachment", which is the standard parallel adapter.

Note: (2) May require new 4247 Licensed Internal Code provided with these features. The latest code may also be downloaded from vendor Web site (CPG International).

IBM 4247-V03 Printer Stand

The IBM 4247-V03 Printer Stand has three main sections:

• A flat table surface to hold the printer
• An input paper tray to hold forms before they are fed through the printer
• An output paper tray for stacking forms after they are printed

The table is designed specifically to support the features of the IBM 4247-V03, and since this stand accommodates the footprint and weight of the 4247-V03, printer vibration is minimized.

The printer stand was also designed to serve the characteristics of the 4247-V03 printer. The stand accommodates two continuous forms and a separator in the front of the stand is used to ensure that the forms are kept separate.

When dual continuous forms are used, one form rests on the input paper tray and the other form rests on the floor underneath the input tray.

The printer stand is customer set-up and can be easily assembled in about 30 minutes.

The original higher-priced enclosed cabinet style printer stand (#4462) is still available.

The open printer stand is a lower priced printer stand option for the 4247-V03 printer. The present enclosed cabinet printer stand is still available. The open printer stand does not offer the refined appearance of the enclosed cabinet.

Bulk Order for Optional Features

For most products, the quantity of any feature that can be ordered is the same as the maximum number of the feature allowed per machine. Since the IBM 4247-003 and 4247-V03 features are now all customer setup (for 4247 Model 003 with Licensed Internal Code Level 6.05 or higher), in some cases it is desirable to bulk order certain features so that machines can be easily reconfigured by Business Partners and end users. Thus, for these MES features, the maximum order quantity is normally 10, which is greater than the maximum that can be installed on one printer.

The maximum number of initial-order attachment features that can be ordered is one. Use the MES feature numbers for bulk orders.

A procedure to determine the level of code installed in a printer is explained in the Supplementary information in this letter.

For easy identification of boxed printers that have code level 6.05 and higher, the printer part number printed on the box label has been changed from 01PXXXX to 75PXXXX (where XXXX can be any number). The 01PXXXX numbers were used on printers shipped prior to 6.05 code.

IBM 4247-003 Print Throughput Improvement

The print speed of the IBM 4247-003 has been improved slightly for models with internal base code level 6.05 and higher. The improved code provides approximately a 5% greater throughput performance.

Power Plug Adapter (#9801, 9802, 9803, 9804, 9805)

When attaching the Ethernet 10/100 BaseT Network Print Server (#4164) to the 4247 Printers, a Power Plug (Power adapter) is needed. One of the following Power Plugs must be ordered with each Network Print Server.

• US Plug Type: #9801

  (No Longer Available as of June 2, 2006)

• UK Plug Type: #9802

  (No Longer Available as of June 2, 2006)

• European Plug Type: #9803

  (No Longer Available as of June 2, 2006)

• Japanese Plug Type: #9804

  (No Longer Available as of June 2, 2006)

• Australian Plug Type: #9805

  (No Longer Available as of June 2, 2006)

These adapters, with the appropriate power plug, are required to furnish the correct voltage and plug into an electrical outlet for the 10/100 BaseT Network Print Server (#4164). These adapters plug into an electrical outlet and transform the voltage to the voltage required by the Ethernet Network Print Server (FN 4164).

Latest IPDS NIC (#4280, 4282) Compared to I-Data 7913 NIC compared with Previous IPDS NIC

The ASCII-IPDS Ethernet 10/100 BaseT fully integrated NIC is generally compatible with the Idata 7913 external printer LAN attachment. A comparison follows:

Note: Printer intervention messages sent to the host from the latest IPDS NIC and previous Idata 7913 NIC are generally equivalent. Both implementations differ from IPDS Twinax and IPDS Coax attachments in the following areas.

• Printer Cancel Print key cannot be used. Pressing this key will result in an "Invalid Key Press" operator panel message in the new NIC implementation.
• Explicit device status messages are not returned to the host for out of paper and forms jam printer intervention conditions.

Limitations

The 4247-V03 has the following limitations:

• Fast Draft print quality mode supports printing at 10 characters per inch only. DP, DP Text, and NLQ print quality modes support 10, 12, 15, 16.7, 17.1 and 20 characters per inch.
• The front continuous forms paper path will handle up to 8-part forms. Forms greater than 4-part should be tested for readability prior to use.
• No automatic sheet feed feature is available.
• The following ASCII restrictions apply when using IBM 4247 native escape commands to print barcode:
  • Current barcode applications that use barcode escape commands must be modified to use IBM 4247 native barcode commands.
  • Barcode printing is limited to picket orientation and 3 to 1 wide to narrow ratio when printed using native 4247 escape commands.

The 4247-V03 has the following additional limitations when emulating previous ASCII printers:

• The following commands and functions are not supported when replacing or adding to an existing IBM 4224 (Model 301, 302, 3E3), 4230 (Model 4xx or 5xx), or 4232 Model 302:
  • Begin/End Overstrike
  • Begin/End Understrike
  • Select Presentation Media
  • Set Presentation Position
  • Initialize/Delete Local Font
  • Select Local Character Set
  • Set Vertical Units
  • Graphic Segment List
  • Barcode
  • Segment
  • Overlays
  • Graphic Mapping Control
  • Read Printer Status
• The following functions are not supported when using the Epson FX 1050 driver, IBM 4202 Proprinter III XL, or IBM 2381 driver in OS/2 or Windows:
  • Barcode selection or printing
  • Load/park form paths
  • Data-stream emulation switching
  • Metric vertical line spacing
• The 4247-V03 does not support the following 4247-A00 operator panel settings:
  • Characters per inch (pitch) = 5, 6, 7.5, 8.5, proportional.
  • Lines per inch (lpi) = 12, 3L/30mm, 84L/30mm, 6L/30mm, 8L/30mm, 12L/mm.
  • Maximum page length for cut sheet forms = A5, A4, A3, LGL, LTR.
  • Parallel interface = 1284 nibble.(1)
  • Data bits = 7.
  • Left margin alignment = 0 to 13.4 inches. (Model 003 left margin alignment is 0 to 1.875 inches.)
  • Top margin (top of form) = 0 to 660 lines.(2)
  • Impact = soft, strong.(3)

Note: (1) Setting id is non-functional on A00.

Note: (2) Paper load position range is -0.166 (-24/144) to 2 (+288/144) inches. To set top of form to larger values, the user must move form and press top-of-form key.

Note: (3) Impact force is always set to strong.

Paper Handling

• Continuous Forms:
  • The 4247-V03 will handle up to 8-part continuous forms in either front paper path.
• For the Front Tractor Paths:
  • Form weight can range from 56 grams per square meter (gsm) (15 lb) to 150 gsm (40 lb). Paper weights outside this range must be tested by the customer for proper operation.
  • Overall (total) form thickness for all parts may range from 0.08 mm (0.003 in) to 0.64 mm (0.025 in).

The following forms widths and lengths are supported:

• Form width from 76.2 mm (3 in) to 431.8 mm (17 in)
• Form lengths from 76.2 mm (3 in) to 609.6 mm (24 in)

Forms less than 152.4 mm (6 in) in length or width should be tested for satisfactory stacking and may require operator assistance.

Hardware Features

For most products, the quantity of any feature that can be ordered is the same as the maximum number of the feature allowed per machine. Since the IBM 4247-V03 optional features are all customer installable, it is desirable, in some cases, to bulk order certain features so that machines can be easily re-configured by Business Partners and end-users.
