| The IBM 5101 Infoprint 5000 features
leading-edge ink jet Drop-on-Demand technology for full-process color
using water-based cyan, magenta, yellow, and black pigment inks. These
inks are highly water-and light-resistant. The Infoprint 5000 is
designed to print PDF Level 1.6 and PostScript Level 3. These simplex
and duplex models are ideal for high-volume color printing and provide
color production printing at up to 916 letter-size (8.5 x 11 inch) ipm
or
862 A4 (11.69 x 8.27 inch) ipm for two-up duplex applications.(1)
Note: (1) Exact speed varies depending on document complexity, system configuration, software application, driver, and printer state. Note: The Infoprint 5000 (Machine Type 5101) is not available in Latin America. Model Abstract 5101-CS1The IBM 5101 Infoprint 5000 Model CS1 is a high speed, high quality simplex printer. Model Abstract 5101-CD1The IBM 5101 Infoprint 5000 Model CD1 is the first engine of the CD1/2 high speed duplex printing system. Model CD1 does not contain its own control unit and therfore must always be used in conjunction with Model CD2. Model Abstract 5101-CD2The Infoprint 5000 Model CD2 is the second engine of the CD1/2
high
speed duplex printing system. Model CD2 contains the IBM Control Unit
and can be used to print in simplex (without the CD1) or in dual
simplex
or duplex by mating with the CD1. The IBM Infoprint 5000 Color Printing System offers:

configuration, software application, driver, and printer state.
The Infoprint 5000 family of printers are designed for very high-throughput color production printing environments. The Infoprint 5000 is targeted at printing environments where good print quality, and superior reliability at high printing speed are critical factors. These printers feature a 19.96-inch (507 mm) print width, and tractorless operation. Wide Format The maximum print width of the Infoprint 5000 family is 19.96 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 Note: (2) Resolution is in dpi (dots-per-inch). Note: (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: Some pre- and 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 5000. A type 1 interface modified for the Infoprint 5000 is used to attach pre- and post-processing 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. Required Web Cleaner (#9460, 9461 or 9462) A web cleaner is included with the Infoprint 5000. 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. Ordering Information The Infoprint 5000 features for the models CS1, CD1, and CD2 are summarized in the following table: Description Machine Model Feature Note: "All" refers to models CS1, CD1, and CD2.

Model Summary MatrixPhysical SpecificationsPaper Sizes Paper Width is 6.5 to 20.5 inches (165 mm to 520 mm) tractorless. Print Width The Infoprint 5000 has a print width of from 6.0 to 19.96 inches (150 to 507 mm). Paper Weights Paper weights between 64 and 130 gsm (17 to 35 lb) are supported. Paper should be tested with the targeted applications before production quantities are ordered. Paper Types The Infoprint 5000 printing system is designed to print on roll-feed paper. Certain applications may cause excessive wear or premature failure of some components of the Infoprint 5000. In these situations, a customer with maintenance provided under the IBM Customer Agreement of IBM Machines may be responsible for additional maintenance charges. Barcodes Barcodes should be tested on the target paper with the target application prior to implementation. Turnbar "I" (#9410 - Initial, 4410 Mes) The "I" Turnbar is available as a specify feature on an initial order, or as an MES feature. The "I" Turnbar is required for an in-line configuration. Turnbar "L"(#9420 - Initial, #4420 - MES) The "L" Turnbar is available as a specify feature on an initial order or as an MES feature. The "L" turnbar is required for a Left-Angle configuration. Font Capability The Infoprint 5000 fonts are listed in the "Planning and Configuration Guide". Human Factors The Infoprint 5000 is designed for efficient ease of operation, service, and installation. Accepted human factors principles have been applied specifically to frequent access areas such as the operator interfaces. The operator flat-panel touch-screen, and associated keyboard and mouse are provided to facilitate and enhance the human interface with the printing system. Weight and Dimensions The approximate dimensions and weight of each Infoprint 5000 model is as follows: Infoprint 5000 Note: (4) Approximate weights are supplied for customer planning use. The Controller must be located adjacent to the printer. The "Planning and Configuration Guide" contains detailed information regarding space and footprint requirements. Actual weights may vary from the above. Operating EnvironmentEnvironmental Requirements In order to achieve and sustain best machine performance and print quality, the Models CS1, CD1 and CD2 must be operated within the following environmental envelope.
For more specific printer environment information, please see the "Planning and Configuration Guide". Hardware RequirementsAttachment Features An integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet Gigabit TCP/IP adapter is included with the Infoprint 5000 Models CS1 and CD2. Software RequirementsThe 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 (G544-5814-09) for limitations of the Infoprint 5000 support. The supported datastreams include:
AIX Infoprint Manager for AIX V4.2 with PTF U810963, or later releases, with Server Message Block Filesystem (SMBS) installed. Refer to Infoprint Manager for AIX: Procedures (G544-5815-05) for limitations of the Infoprint 5000 support. The supported datastreams include:
