The Infoprint 21 is a 21 PPM laser printer designed for small to
medium sized workgroups. Benefits and capabilities of the printer are
described below.
Infoprint 21 uses the IBM high performance controller with a 100 MHz
PowerPC 603e processor, IBM printer co-processor and an internal 64 bit
data bus, 32 bit address bus running at 66 MHz. It has a Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus for a Network Interface Card (NIC) and
a hard drive. The processing power of the IBM PowerPC 603e processor is
shown in the table below.
Infoprint 21 supports full page processing so there is little chance of data loss due to page compression.
Infoprint 21 supports up to two simultaneously active interfaces.
The maximum monthly usage for Infoprint 21 is up to 100,000
impressions. IBM does not recommend printing to this monthly maximum on
a consistent basis.

Performance Specifications
The minimum engine first print out time is 12.0 seconds.
First print-out time is the time from when the printer receives a
start printing signal in "READY" state until one sheet of paper is
printed and delivered. From the time power is turned on until "READY"
state is reached is approximately 60 seconds.
If a second print job is sent within 90 seconds of the start of the
first job, then the minimum engine first print out time is: 9.5
seconds.
The maximum rated engine speeds are as follows (Impressions Per Minute).

Note: (1) AFP/IPDS does not support 1200 DPI printing. In
order to specify AFP/IPDS Resolution support for 240, 600 or auto, the
AFP/IPDS Print Mode must be set to Enhanced Mode (optimal print
fidelity). In this print mode, complex (full page) image jobs may not
yield optimal print performance, due to the increased print fidelity
required to accurately render 240 and 600 DPI print objects. The
AFP/IPDS Resolution of 240 DPI enhancement was provided to support
customer legacy applications that use 240 DPI font, overlay and page
segment resource libraries.
Note: (2) The AFP/IPDS menu items for overlay cache and print
mode are provided to allow performance optimization for complex image
jobs. Use of these modes MAY require additional memory to achieve
optimal performance. As with all mixes of jobs, memory utilization may
vary based on number of jobs, job complexity and resource requirements.
Print Quality
Infoprint 21 supports three high quality print resolutions: 600 x 600, 1200 x 1200 and 1200 DPI enhanced quality mode.
The 1200 DPI enhanced quality mode is IBM's advanced technology
algorithm that delivers superior image quality especially with images.
This mode supplies 1200 x 1200 DPI print quality without the need for
additional memory or processing that true 1200 x 1200 DPI output
requires. The Infoprint 21 uses this enhanced mode as the default print
quality mode. The printer also supports true 1200 x 1200 DPI at up to
rated speed, 21 PPM.
Infoprint 21 supports "Edge-to-edge" printing for all data streams
and it may be required for legacy applications. If edge-to-edge
printing is required, it is recommended that testing be performed to
verify the print quality is acceptable. Edge-to-edge printing is
supported to within 4 mm of the edge of the paper for the simplex side
and 6 mm for the duplex side. The edge print quality degrades as the
print approaches the edges and is not recommended for non-edge-to-edge
printing applications.
Infoprint 21 supports 256 levels of gray for PostScript and PCL 6.
The print quality enhancements designed using IBM's advanced
technology generates output quality using a knowledge based algorithm
that maximizes end-user eye quality perception. The is accomplished
using a state of the art data manipulation technique to optimize the
toner particle placement.
AFP/IPDS has up to 32 levels of gray supported. The default
resolution for Twinax and Coax SCS is 600 DPI regardless of the
resolution setting. The printer will convert 240/300 DPI AFP/IPDS to
600 DPI.
IBM's toner saving technology, Econo mode will reduce toner usage
while maintaining usable print output. It will increase the yield of
the print cartridge up to two times by reducing the amount of toner
placed on the printed page and significantly lowering the total
supplies costs.
Operator Panel
Infoprint 21 has a simplified operator panel with scrolling
capability. It consists of 8 keys, 4 LED status indicators and a 2 x 16
character display. The scrolling of text messages offers enhanced
information for the operator.
The 8 keys consist of the following:
- Online - used to take printer online or offline.
- Enter - used to select an action item or menu item value.
- Menu (up/down) - used to scroll up or down through menus.
- Item (up/down) - used to scroll up or down through menu items listed in the message display area.

Printer Utilities
Network Printer Resource Utility (NPRU)
Network Printer Resource Utility (NPRU) is an application that
provides a repository (resource inventory) for fonts and overlays
(macros) on a workstation with access to an IBM network printer. Once a
font or overlay has been added to the NPRU inventory, it can be
downloaded to RAM or optional compact flash or optional hard drive.
The font formats supported are PCL Intellifonts, TrueType and
PostScript Type 1. Fonts and overlays that are downloaded are available
to workstation applications when the network printer drivers are
selected. NPRU is a separate program that uses the printer drivers to
download. It is supported for:

IBM Network Printer Manager (NPM) for Windows Utility
IBM provides the Network Printer Manager (NPM) Utility with an easy-
to-use graphical interface for network administrators. Infoprint 21 is
supported on NPM version 4. NPM runs on Microsoft 95/98/NT platforms.
Network administrators can set-up e-mail or pager notifications for
Infoprint 21. Whether printers are low on toner, out of paper or need
attention, these notifications can get the information to the right
source without delay, improving printer up-time and end user
productivity.
NPM helps users install and configure IBM network printers in LANs,
including Novell networks (Bindery and NDS). NPM monitors printers and
provides printer status using the industry-standard, open-systems SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol) Printer MIB and private enterprise
MIBs.
Some examples of the information available using SNMP are:
on/offline, paper jam, out of toner, output tray full, input tray
empty, and information about the printer's configuration, capacity, and
number of pages printed.
Other functions provided by NPM include:
- Printer microcode update.
- Printer grouping.
- Printer reset.
- Copy printer settings.
NPM uses the following protocols:

Windows 2000 print servers and supports the following clients:
- Windows 95/98
- Windows NT 4.0
- Windows 2000
Some of the benefits of the TCP/IP Network Port Monitor are:
- Integrates with standard Windows printer objects.
- Displays printer status.
- Indicates that a job has completed printing and is ready for pickup.
- Detailed progress of a job on the printer (such as "printing page 3 of 7" or "copy 2 of 5").
- Cancel print jobs on the actual printer and not just your workstation.
LPR Remote Printing Client
The LPR Remote Printing Client utility provides a TCP/IP port
monitor for seamless Windows 95/98 network printing. This port monitor
can be used on Windows 95/98 to direct print jobs from Windows
applications to IBM Workgroup printers. This utility supports other
printers or print servers that run a TCP/IP LPD print server. The port
monitor can be used on mobile systems for remote printing or it can be
used on department print servers in an unattended print server mode.
This package also includes a command line LPR executable program for
printing jobs directly. The LPR program, called IBMLPR.EXE, provides a
standard RFC 1179 compliant printing interface and allows the -S and -P
parameters to be set by way of environment variables so that drag and
drop printing can be enabled for a default printer.
Web Ready Printing
Printer Resident Web site
Infoprint 21 includes printer resident Web pages. The Web pages can
be viewed by an industry standard browser using the printer IP address.
Public Web pages are available to all users. Administrator Web pages
are provided for configurator functions. Administrator web pages
require password access. The types of Web pages include:
- Public Web pages, End User support and functions (available to anyone with URL or IP address)
- View printer status and general printer settings.
- Web Pull Printing - Allows users to specify a URL address of a file for printing files from an internet source.
- Web Push Printing - This allows a user to select a file for
printing directly to the printer freeing the client for other tasks and
reducing network traffic.
- Administrator support and function (available to anyone with password protection).
- Configure printer and network interface using a Web browser. All operator panel functions are available via web access.
- View printer status, job status and general printer settings.
Infoprint 21 supports remote device management via a Web browser. Browsers supported include:
Browser Version
------- -------
Internet Explorer 4.0 and above
Netscape 4.0 and above
Using a browser to submit print jobs
Two new methods of submitting a print job to the printer are
available with Infoprint 21. They are referred to as (pull) and (push)
printing.
For reference, the conventional method of job submission from a
workstation is to select File and Print from an application menu. This
process uses a print driver to create a print job which is then sent
from the local workstation to the printer. Depending upon the
installation configuration, the job may be sent directly to the
printer, or to a print server and then to the printer.
Pull Printing
With pull printing, a browser is used to access a Web page in the
printer. The user fills in an entry field on the Web page with an
internet address (or URL) of an existing file to be printed. An example
would be a tax form that is available from a government Web site. After
entering the URL of the file, the user clicks on the Submit button.
This submits the URL to the printer. The printer then retrieves and
processes the file from the remote server identified by the URL. The
file is transferred over the network only once: from the remote server
to the printer. Conventional printing of a remote file requires the
transfer of the file over the network twice: from the remote server to
the local workstation and then to the printer.
Files printed using Pull Printing must be in the correct format to
be successfully processed. Supported formats include Postscript, PDF,
PCL (5e and 6) and PJL. Supported transfer protocols include HTTP, FTP
and Gopher via a proxy server. In order for the printer to reach a
server that is on the other side of a firewall, the proxy server must
provide access through the firewall. The address of the proxy server is
a configuration item in the printer that can be set by the printer
administrator.
Pull printing provides a one step method of printing existing
documents or forms that are available on many Web sites. Pull printing
can also be used to update the microcode of a printer by entering the
URL of the microcode update file. The microcode file can be retrieved
over the internet from the IBM Printing Systems Web site
(www.printers.ibm.com) or from a server configured by the printer
administrator.
Push Printing
Push printing also uses a browser to submit a print job. As with
Pull Print, the user fills in an entry field on the Web page that
identifies the name of an existing file to be printed. The user can
also use standard Windows file browsing commands. For push printing,
the identified file must be accessible as a local file to the
workstation. After entering the name of the file, the user clicks the
Submit button. The browser reads the file and transfers it to the
printer. As with Pull Print, the file must be in a supported format:
PostScript, PDF, PCL, PJL and ASCII text.
Push printing provides a simple method of printing an existing document on any printer that can be reached with a browser.
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) was commissioned by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and developed under the guidance of the
Printer Working Group printing industry consortium. As such, IPP is
better defined than its LPR predecessor (RFC 1179) and is now being
adopted as a new standard for printing and job control in networks and
over the internet.
The Infoprint 21 printer includes an IPP server that can accept jobs
from an IPP client using HTTP/1.1 as the transport protocol as defined
in IPPv1.0. An IPPv1.0 client is required on any operating system from
which you want to do IPP printing. For example, the Infoprint 21 can
accept jobs submitted using IPP from the IPP client for Windows NT. IBM
provides IPP clients for the following software solutions:
- IBM Infoprint Manager for Windows NT and Windows 2000.
- Infoprint Server feature of OS/390 V2R8.
Printer Management
SNMP MIB Support
Infoprint 21 supports industry standard open-systems SNMP printer MIBs.
- Printer MIB (RFC 1759)
- MIB II (MIB RFC 1213)
- Host Resources MIB (MIB RFC 1514)
- Job MIB (based on RFC 2707)
Novell NetWare Support
Novell NetWare connectivity is supported via Token-Ring and Ethernet Adapters as PSERVER or RPRINTER.
Spooling
When an optional hard disk is installed, incoming print jobs can be
spooled onto the hard disk if the printer is busy. Other types of jobs,
such as PDF files, must be spooled because they cannot start printing
until the entire job is received. Other types of jobs (PostScript, PCL)
can either be sent directly to the printer or be spooled on the hard
disk. Some types of jobs, such as AFP/IPDS files, SCS and Appletalk,
cannot be spooled because they require communication back to the
transmitting host concerning their print status.
Infoprint 21 allows the administrator to customize the printer so
that all but AFP/IPDS, SCS and Appletalk jobs are spooled to the hard
disk before printing. In some cases, this can reduce network traffic by
minimizing the number of attempts to resend a job to a busy printer.
The default spooling setting is to only spool when the printer is busy.
The setting can be changed on the operator panel or from the printer's
Web page.

SCS Data Stream Font Mapping
The coax or twinax interface uses PCL fonts when operating with a
non-AFP/IPDS host data stream. Imbedding of PCL and PJL commands in the
SCS data stream is possible. The printer selects and uses these PCL
fonts differently depending on whether the attachment is coaxial or
twinaxial. With the coaxial attachment, fonts can only be selected by
specifying characters-per-inch (CPI). With the twinaxial attachment,
fonts can be selected by specifying either CPI or an FGID (Font Global
Identifier).

The above items are considered supplies and, as such, are not
available from IBM service or included in the warranty or maintenance
service agreement. Installation of usage kits is the responsibility of
the customer.
The approximate average yields are not a warranty or guarantee of
minimum life, and are provided to assist in initial supplies planning.
Actual usage should be used to establish the supply's life in the end
user's application. Many factors (for example, print coverage per page,
machine settings, paper type and size, and environmental conditions)
can affect supply life.
Supply warranties are only for defects in materials and workmanship
at the time of shipment/installation. They are not for print count life
or normal wear and tear, nor for any print count minimum. Contact your
place of purchase for warranty return instructions.
IBM is committed to environmentally conscious programs for printer
supplies. A collection program for used printer cartridges has been
established and return instructions are included in the supply item
packaging, with free return shipping.
IBM paper and transparency film are manufactured to the tightest
specifications and approved by IBM. They are designed for use with all
quality printers, copiers, multi-function machines and fax machines and
are also designed to optimize the performance of IBM printers. IBM
