Compatibility with the IBM printer family
Description
Pennant Systems is extending the IBM 423X Printer family with the new
IBM 4232, a heavy-duty impact matrix printer capable of printing 600
characters per second (CPS).
This new printer complements the capabilities of the 4224 and 4230
models by providing improved price/performance, full compatibility with
the IBM 4224-3XX plus IBM 4202 emulation resulting in a complete ASCII
printing solution with the "look and feel" of the IBM 4230.
The 4232 printer may be used as a workstation printer for the larger
AS/400* systems, RS/6000* or Personal System/2* environments and as the
primary shared printer for smaller AS/400 systems and LAN environments.
The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides both 4202 and 4224-3XX
emulation modes. These are selectable from the operator panel.
The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides IBM PC ASCII (Centronics)
Parallel, RS-232-C Serial, and RS-422A Serial host interfaces.
The 4232 can be offered as a workstation printer or as a shared printer
in a distributed printing environment. In addition, the 4232 is
well-suited for printing in harsh environments (for example, warehouses
or shipping docks) - environments in which other printing technologies
often cannot compete.
All of the paper handling options and features available on IBM 4230 printers are also available on the new IBM 4232 Printer.
The 4232-302 is the only model offered.
Improved Price/Performance
The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer is a replacement for the IBM
4224-30X Printers. The IBM 4232 prints in fast draft print quality mode
at 600 CPS, offers simultaneous serial and parallel attachment
capability, the 4230 "look and feel," and an attractive price.
Business Solutions - Enable Customer's Competitive Advantage
Because the new 4232 printer offers a lower-priced entry product for
heavy-duty, high-speed printing, businesses will spend less money for
mid-range printing needs, thereby improving their competitive
advantage.
Business Solutions - Enabling New Applications
The new IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer is an IBM heavy-duty ASCII
printer which supports the same forms handling options as the 4230 (for
example, Continuous Forms Module (CFM), Dual Purpose Module (DPM),
Document Insertion Device (DID), and Auto Sheet Feed (ASF)).
The 4232 supports the Novell-certified IBM 4033 LAN adapter and may
also attach to LANs via LAN-attached IBM PS/2's or IBM PC-compatible
personal computers.
Growth Enablement - Increased Capacity/Performance Improvement
The new IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer provides a low-priced migration
path from older, slower 4224-30X printers. This high-speed model allows
businesses to expand their printing volume while minimizing their
investment in upgrade equipment.

Limitations
The overall throughput depends on the emulation mode (for example, 4202
or 4224), print mode, application program, system response time, and
the type of print operation being done. Any print operation that
requires multiple passes or a reduction of horizontal dot spacing
causes a reduction in the throughput.
Some print operations that affect throughput are:
-
Heavy print patterns
-
Line length -- number of characters per line
-
Bold printing, double-strike printing, and other types of emphasis
-
Graphics printing
-
Bar-code printing
The 4232 uses an internal print management feature to guard against
overheating the print head due to the quantity of dots being printed.
During extended printing of dense lines, or during extended printing of
long line lengths, this temperature safeguard may cause the speed of
the print mechanism to decrease, lowering overall throughput
proportionally.
The 4232 is supported in Proprinter II XL (4202) emulation mode by most
application software. The following deviations from 4202 emulation
should be noted:
The 4232 has a 13.2 inch writing line which assures compatibility with
the Proprinter II. However, the Proprinter II XL has a 13.6 inch
writing line.
The 4232 cannot accept and print 4202 font downloads. Instead, national
language support requirements are provided via 4232 resident fonts.
The 4232 condensed print is at 15 CPI or 16.7 CPI. For the 4202, condensed print is at 17.1 CPI or 20 CPI.
While the 4232 supports double high printing, it will not print double
high characters like the 4202. Instead, the page format integrity is
maintained by printing single high characters with double-space line
feeds.
The 4232 will support the CANCEL control, but in some situations CANCEL
will clear a different amount of data than it clears on the 4202 for
the same job. Fortunately, CANCEL is rarely, if ever, used by the
popular drivers.
The IBM 4232 Impact Matrix Printer supports the Essay font (i.e.,
proportional spacing) in DP Text and NLQ modes only. Certain characters
and code pages are unprintable in fast-draft print quality.

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable
(#4001) Continuous Forms Module (CFM - F1)
Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism optimized for
handling continuous forms utilizing pull tractors. For customers whose
applications require continuous forms but do not require any "document
on demand" (DOD) capability, this module is the best choice. The right
hand tractor is adjustable to accommodate forms width from 3 inches to
15 inches. Forms length can be from 3 inches to 14 inches. Up to 6-part
forms may be used. Limitations: Forms less than 6 inches in length or
width and forms greater than 12.5 inches in length should be tested for
satisfactory stacking. This CFM feature cannot be installed in the 4232
simultaneously with other forms handling features (#9502, #9503, #4002,
#4003, and #4004). Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. Customer
Setup: Yes.
(#4002) Dual Purpose Module (DPM - F2)
Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism for handling both
long continuous forms jobs and "document on demand" (DOD) tearoff
applications. The DPM allows the user to remove (tear off) the
individual printed form without wasting a blank form each time forms
are removed from the printer. The DPM is required for applications
which require the Document on Demand function. The DPM is recommended
for applications which need a combination of long continuous forms jobs
and the Document on Demand function. The CFM is recommended for all
continuous forms applications which do not require the DOD function
especially when unattended printing is the only mode of operation. The
right hand tractor and feed rolls are adjustable to accommodate forms
width from 3 inches to 15 inches. Forms length can be from 3 inches to
14 inches. Limitations: Up to 6-part continuous forms may be used.,
Forms less than 6 inches in length or width and forms greater than 12.5
inches in length should be tested for satisfactory stacking.
Applications requiring more than six forms to be fed before separation
(tear off) should be tested for satisfactory operation. No limitations
exist to limit the printable area on forms. This feature cannot be
installed in the 4232 simultaneously with other forms handling features
(#9501, #9503, #4001, #4003, and #4004). Maximum: One. Field
Installation: Yes. Customer Setup: Yes.
Note: For both the CFM and the DPM, five-and six-part forms should be
tested on an individual basis for acceptable feeding, registration, and
print quality before production. Likewise, for optimum performance,
printing should be restricted to 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from all edges,
holes, or folds on the forms.
(#4003) Document Insertion Device (DID - F3)
Provides an operator changeable "drop in" mechanism to handle
individually inserted forms. Includes a snap on guide for the left edge
of the form. The right hand set of feed rolls is adjustable to
accommodate forms width from 3 inches to 15 inches. Forms length can be
from 7 inches to 14 inches. Limitations: Forms over 13 inches wide
should be tested for satisfactory feeding and registration. 2-to 6-part
forms should be tested for satisfactory feeding, registration, and
print quality. Multi-part form sets must not be fastened with staples,
and must be glued only at the top edge securely enough to prevent form
separation while passing through the printer. This feature cannot be
installed in the 4232 simultaneously with other forms handling features
(#9501, #9502, #4001, #4002, and #4004). Maximum: One. Field Installation: Yes. Customer Setup: Yes.
(#4004) Automatic Sheet Feed (ASF - F4)
The IBM 4230/4232 Auto Sheet Feeder provides an operator changeable
mechanism for automatic feeding of cut sheets. Complements NLQ printing
for business correspondence applications. Includes three automatic
input bins and one manual input bin. Each automatic bin holds up to 220
sheets of variable width 80g/m2 (20 lb) single-part paper. Multi-part
forms (up to 4-part) can also be used. The manual bin allows feeding a
single sheet of variable width paper, either single or multipart. The
output stacker holds up to 250 sheets of 80g/m2 (20 lb) single-part
paper, stacked in sequential order. Bin selection can be controlled by
the host system or from the 4232 operator panel. All operator control
is from the 4232 operator panel; there are no controls or indicators on
the ASF device. Limitations: This device cannot be installed
simultaneously with other forms handling features (#9501 #9502 #9503
#4001 #4002 #4003). Also, AS/400 system support for paper bin selection
can only access two of the three bins provided with the ASF. See ASF
paper/forms specifications below. Maximum: One. Field Installation: No,
see #4015 for field installation. Customer Setup: Not applicable.
(#4959) EuroReady Serial/Parallel ASCII
Provides capability to print the euro common currency symbol. Maximum: One. Field installation: Yes. Customer Setup: No.

in pounds (lb) is the weight of 500 sheets (one ream) of paper sized 17
x 22 inches.
-
Thickness of a single sheet should be a minimum of 0.086mm (0.0034 in.)
and a maximum of 0.117mm (0.0046 in.). (Also see multipart forms
specifications).
-
For optimum performance, use 75 to 90g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) cotton content (25% or 50%) plain bond paper.
-
Multi-part forms can be used in all ASF bins. Tolerances and
environmental conditions are more critical for multipart forms than for
single sheets. All multipart forms must be tested by the customer for
suitable performance with the ASF.
-
The top surface of the first sheet of any multipart form must have a
surface smoothness range of 18 to 30 Bekk or 180 to 140 Sheffield.
-
Multi-part forms used on the ASF are restricted to snap-out or top- glued forms only.
-
Multi-part snap-out forms must meet the following specifications (refer
to the IBM 4232 Printer ASF "General Information Manual" for an
illustration of recommended snap-out form construction):
-
Pressure sensitive paper (4 sheets maximum)
-
First sheet 70 - 80g/m2 (19 - 21 lb)
-
2nd/3rd sheet 40 - 60g/m2 (11 - 16 lb)
-
Last sheet 70 - 80g/m2 (19 - 21 lb)
Carbon sets (4 sheets maximum)
First sheet 70 - 80g/m2 (19 - 21 lb)
2nd/3rd sheet 35 - 40g/m2 (9 - 11 lb)
Last sheet 70 - 80g/m2 (19 - 21 lb)
Carbon paper 25g/m2 (6.6 lb) approximate
(Carbon noncoated surface must be rough.)
Snap-out perforation
First sheet 3 : 0.8mm
2nd/3rd sheet 7 : 0.8mm
Last sheet 7 : 0.8mm
(Micro-perforations allowed for first and last sheets, 72 perfs per inch recommended.)
Multi-part top-glued forms must have a top edge that is flat, smooth,
and free from any traces of glue. Form sets cut against the grain are
more acceptable than sets cut with the grain.
Unsatisfactory paper and forms (the following are some of the papers
and forms that do not perform reliably or may cause damage to the sheet
feed mechanism):
-
Coated paper
-
Vellums
-
Highly sized erasable bond
-
Synthetic paper
-
Translucents
-
Some paper with a cockle finish
-
Some multipart forms not meeting specifications
-
Some pressure sensitive adhesive labels
-
Some chemically treated paper (ink-impregnated paper)
-
Some preprinted forms requiring high registration accuracy for character location
-
Envelopes
-
Card stock
-
Some preprinted paper containing chemicals that contaminate the sheet
feed mechanism or change the frictional characteristics of the paper
-
Stapled or clipped forms
-
Paper with gum surfaces, holes, perforations, cutouts, or windows
-
Paper with embossment height exceeding 0.5mm (0.020 in.). (Embossments
must not be located within 15mm (0.59 in.) of any edge of a sheet)
-
Folded documents
-
Paper with curl or waviness exceeding 3mm (0.118 in.)
-
Reams with edges or corners folded or bonded together
-
Paper with poorly cut or rough edges
-
Paper used in the ASF should be new, unused, and without packaging damage.
-
Paper of different types (letterhead, plain, etc.), sizes, or
composition should not be mixed or interleaved in the same ASF bin.
-
Paper should not be exposed to adverse temperature and humidity
conditions. (Consult the manufacturer for recommended storage
environment).
