IPDS(TM) data stream capability is optional. Also, all 3116 printers include a standard PC parallel interface, a standard serial RS-232/422 interface, and a slot for Internal Network Adapters (INAs). They provide automatic port switching and data stream sensing. There are three models of the IBM 3116: * Model 001 -- Standard 200-sheet input, 250-sheet output * Model 002 -- Standard 500-sheet input, 500-sheet output * Model 003 -- Standard 1000-sheet input, 500-sheet output, standard * 10BaseT Ethernet INA, and an additional 4MB of memory (8MB total) The 3116 is the follow-on/replacement product for the successful IBM 3916 Page Printers. It offers numerous improvements to the appearance, hardware printing mechanism, internal firmware-code, and application drivers. Benefits include: * Improved print quality resulting from new print cartridges that use Diamond Fine** toner and print resolutions up to 1200 dots per inch (dpi) for PCL and PostScript** applications. (300 and 600 dpi are also available.) * Enhanced paper handling, including label processing, direct attach duplex paper feeder, and cableless second paper drawers. * State of the art network management tools for Novell** users and LAN administrators (MarkVision**). * A Toner-Saver mode. Memory enhancements include a maximum memory capacity of 64MB (PCL and PostScript only). Flash memory and 40MB hard disk drive options are also available (PCL and PostScript only). Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS) support is also provided, enabling the IBM 3116 Page Printer to generally support software applications that operate with PPDS. In addition, the 3116 has these expanded host printing capabilities: * Expanded printable area * Enhanced IPDS resident font support including an optional * 3812/3816 font subset * Performance enhancements * Auto-paper handling sensing DESCRIPTION Customer Business Solutions The IBM 3116 Page Printer will provide customers with an affordable solution for printing professional-looking text and graphics using the industry standard PostScript Level 2 emulation and Enhanced PCL5 emulation. The many resident scalable fonts and optional font capability with flash memory and disk options will enhance the appearance of the user's documents. New printer drivers and an enhanced Printer Toolkit make downloading to flash memory easier than ever. With the increased capacities offered by the new optional 4MB flash memory and 40MB disk (all models), the user may store more resources in the printer and spend less time downloading fonts and macros with each print job. User Productivity The IBM 3116 Page Printer is designed for fast, easy setup. The printer comes pre-assembled with print cartridge and paper tray already installed. A complete startup kit contains instruction manuals and information necessary to be up and running quickly. A Printer Setup Utility and drivers for several popular software applications are also included. A 4 x 20 LCD operator panel display uses simple terminology to lead the user through the available menus. The flash memory and disk options allow the user to download fonts that remain in the printer as long as the option is installed.

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. * Envelopes made of heavier paper may require use of the front paper exit. * Envelopes less than 220 mm (8.678 in) may experience print skew when fed automatically. 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/sq m (24 lb) sulfite or 25% cotton bond envelopes is recommended. Under high humidity conditions (over 65%) the envelopes may be sealed during printing. Envelope Conditioning to Prevent Wrinkling: Special envelope conditioning hardware has been added to prevent wrinkles in certain envelopes. Without this feature, air pockets are created in the envelope pockets whenever envelopes pass through the feed rollers, especially at the very hot fuse rollers, which "irons" wrinkles into the envelope. With this conditioning feature, a solenoid opens the rollers and lets the air bubble pass through, eliminating the wrinkles. It does not degrade the printing process, regardless of the weight of the envelopes, or environmental conditions. Some slight noise is created by the solenoids, and an operator can turn this feature off if desired, to eliminate this noise. Without this envelope conditioner, wrinkling is more likely on thin (16-20 lb) envelopes, rather than on 24-28 lb envelopes. Wrinkling is also more likely at high humidity levels. Envelope steady state print rate is slightly reduced because of the heavier demand toward keeping the fuser hot. After a certain number of envelopes are processed the print speed reduces by about 50%. An envelope does not pass across the full width of the machine's fuser, therefore the portion of the fuser that is not cooled by passing the envelope will continue to heat.

PCL and PostScript Font Support: The standard resident fonts in the 3116 consist of the following: * 36 PCL Outline Fonts (Intellifont) o 4 CG Times** o 9 Univers** o 1 Zapf Dingbats o 4 Courier o 3 Letter Gothic o 2 Albertus** o 3 Antique Olive** o 1 Clarendon Condensed o 1 Coronet o 3 Garamond o 1 Marigold** o 4 CG Omega** * 2 PCL Bitmapped Fonts o LinePrinter 16.67 o Postnet Barcode * 10 PCL TrueType Fonts o 4 Arial o 4 Times New Roman o 1 Symbol o 1 Wingdings** * 39 PostScript Fonts (Type 1) o 4 Courier o 4 Times New Roman o 12 Helvetica o 1 SymbolSet o 4 AvantGarde** o 4 Bookman** o 1 Zapf** Chancery o 1 Zapf Dingbats o 4 Century Schoolbook o 4 Palatino Enhanced PCL5: The IBM 3116 includes Enhanced PCL5 emulation which supports the newest HP printer data stream that offers the following improvements over PCL5: * Extensions to support 600 dpi printing, including commands for cursor movement, character spacing, user-defined patterns, and raster graphics at 600 dpi. * Improvements to GL/2 mode for handling more complex curves and for including GL/2 commands in PCL macros for better user-defined forms. * Bi-directional parallel port communications, including new status readback commands for querying the printer's fonts, macros, memory configuration, and other status conditions. New PJL commands also provide job control and the ability to track and report job statistics. * 36 Intellifont** Scalable Fonts as listed earlier. * New bi-directional application drivers supporting these Enhanced PCL5 functions. Software applications that operate with the HP LaserJet 4 Series Printer will generally operate with the 3116. Compatible with PCL5e. PostScript Level 2: PostScript Level 2 emulation provides the following enhancements over Level 1: * Level 2 uses dynamic memory management of temporary resources and objects, which allows more complex jobs to be printed with less memory. * Level 2 provides image compression and decompression filters that greatly reduce the size of PostScript files that contain image data, resulting in faster transfer of data from the user's computer to the printer. * Caching of user-defined patterns and forms allows these objects to be generated once in the printer and retained, or cached, for subsequent print jobs. * Level 2 emulation is fully compatible with the Level 1 emulation in the 4039 and 391X printers. * A new PostScript Level 2 emulation driver is provided. Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS): The 3116 supports 4029-level PPDS commands as defined in the LaserPrinter 4029 Technical Reference. Exceptions are as follows: * 600 and 1200 pel resolution not supported * Type 1 font download not supported * 4029 GL mode not supported * Proprinter(R) X24 graphics not supported No PPDS drivers are shipped with the 3116. Customers should use their currently installed 4019 or 4029 drivers. MarkVision: MarkVision is a new printer utility that gives the administrator of printers installed in an enterprise the ability to manage, monitor, and modify the printing environment with ease. MarkVision provides the following functions directly from the single MarkVision Window: * Remote Operator Panel * Driver Set-up from both PostScript and PCL * Detailed Status * Quick Setup that allows you to download a previously saved printer configuration to any printer on the network * New Windows Toolkit * Network Utilities MarkVision also provides the customer with a pictorial status of the printer and alerts the customer automatically when an error condition occurs on any printer on the network. Network environments supported are: * Novell NetWare with a Windows 3.1 Client * AppleTalk with a Mac Client MarkVision provides the Remote Operator function in the following network environments: * IBM OS/2 LAN Server with an OS/2 Client * Microsoft LAN Manager with an OS/2 Client * Windows NT Advanced Server with an NT Client MarkVision accomplishes these tasks by utilizing the NPA standards bi-directional communications. This is an asynchronous communications protocol that, unlike SNMP, allows the printer to communicate to the host at any time it receives a request or has an error condition that requires an alert to be sent to the host. Printer Toolkit: The new Printer Toolkit includes the following enhancements over the original IBM LaserPrinter 4039 Toolkit: * A utility for downloading PostScript language programs to an optional flash memory card or disk * Improved support for downloading PCL5 emulation macros * Support for downloading TrueType fonts * Status feedback to local printers when downloading resources to an optional flash memory card or disk * An easier-to-use printer commands utility * In the DOS Toolkit, a bi-directional remote operator panel, distinguished from MarkVision, which applies to Windows 3.1 Installing the Printer Toolkit also automatically installs the bi-directional device driver that allows the printer to communicate with your computer. If you have Windows 3.1 on your system, MarkVision is also installed with the Toolkit. Printer Set-up Utility: The new Printer Set-up Utility has drivers to enable the new ASCII functions of the 3112 and 3116 on the major PC software applications. Printer drivers for the following applications and operating systems are included in the new Printer Set-up Utility: * Windows 3.1 * Lotus** 1-2-3** 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.4 * Word** 5.5, 6.0 * WordPerfect** 5.1, 6.0 * Works** 2.0, 3.0 * Harvard Graphics** 3.0 (PostScript only) * OS/2 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 * WIN-OS/2(TM) for OS/2 2.1 * AIX New or updated drivers may be available. Get a current list of current printer drivers and product information by dialing the Automated Fax System (AFS) and the Bulletin Board System (BBS). See the Software Application Manual (SA40-0842) for details on the use of AFS and BBS. Resource Management: Emulation Detection ("emulation sniffing" or SmartSwitch), now with improved algorithms that keep the emulations active at all times. Therefore, switching is significantly faster. Most printers, with dual emulations, reboot whenever they switch printer languages. In the process, all downloaded resources, including fonts, forms, and macros, are lost. The 3116 software enhancements include a single imaging model that permits PCL and PostScript resources to be saved when switching from one emulation to another. PCL and PostScript resources will also be saved when the printer switches resolutions. CCITT Group III and Group IV Support: The 3116 software enhancements include support for the industry standard CCITT Group III and Group IV raster data compression modes in PCL5 emulation. These compression modes provide a much higher compression ratio than the four existing HP modes (run-length encoding, TIFF, delta-row compression, adaptive compression). Performance on complex PCL raster image print jobs can be improved via use of the CCITT Group III or Group IV compression modes. Print Services Facility(TM) (PSF(TM)) Native Support: PSF/MVS V2.2, PSF/VSE PSF/VM V2.1 V2.2.1 V2.1.1 Base Support: 300 pel Yes Yes Yes (4028 Emulation) Multiple Input Yes Yes Yes (3 Sources) Multiple Output No No No (2 Trays only manually selectable) IPDS Towers All All All Printer Connectivity: Coax Yes Yes Yes Font Download (300 pel only): Raster Yes Yes Yes Font Resident (300 pel only): 4028/391X Yes Yes Yes 3812/3816 Yes Yes Yes Support Notes for PSF/MVS, PSF/VSE, PSF/VM: * SBCS font support only. * Some limitations exist to the 3812/3816 resident IPDS font support. Refer to the IPDS Resident Font Support section for details. * Shaded area printing. The 3116 IPDS support includes a newly architected image capability that significantly improves throughput for electronic overlays that contain shaded areas. This new feature provides an IOCA capability equivalent to the IM1 image cell used by most overlay generators for creating shaded areas. Now PSF can translate 240 dpi shading cells directly into resolution-independent IOCA. This means PSF can send the 3116 a single small cell to represent an entire shaded area, rather than expanding the cell to fill the area before sending it to the 3116. The result, for overlays with large or wide-spread shaded areas, is less processing and less storage required by PSF, as well as significantly less transmission time across communication lines. This also means a decrease in transmission size for raster images formatted in tiles or cells by products such as GDDM(R). For some complex images there may be an increase in printer processing time, since now the image tiles will be assembled in the printer instead of in PSF software. This function requires APAR OW10903 for PSF/MVS 2.2, 2.1.1, and 2.1.0.

Advanced System/36 Support: The 3116 is supported on the Advanced System/36 with the following exceptions and requirements: * Duplex is not supported. * The IPDS Advanced Function Printing(TM) PRPQ (5799-QHK) is supported. This PRPQ provides limited IPDS capabilities such as bar codes, font changes, and graphics through the use of subroutines which can be called from RPG, COBOL, and Assembler applications. Coax Attachment Non-PSF Software Support (FC 4171): Minimum Software Level Data Stream/Emulation GDDM V2.3 IPDS, SCS/4028 VM RSCS V2.2 IPDS, SCS/4028 JES 328X V2 SCS/4028 VPS** IPDS, SCS/4028 The SCS coax data stream can now be used to control duplexing. A parameter in the Page Presentation Media (PPM) SCS command is used to control this capability. i-data 7913 LAN Attachment Support: The IBM 3112 or 3116 with the coax or twinax attachment feature (4141 or 4171) and IPDS feature (4140 or 4170) is supported for attachment to the "i-data 7913-03 LAN Attachment" for Token-Ring and the "i-data 7913-04 LAN Attachment" for Ethernet. The i-data 7913-03 and 7913-04 may be ordered from IBM via RPQ numbers 8B4311 and 8B4312. The IBM 3112/3116 attaches to the i-data 7913 via the coax or twinax interface. System and corresponding software support is as follows: Software -- System Minimum Level Data Stream IBM PS/2 with Token- PSF/2 Ver. 2.0 IPDS via Ring (Order RPQ with CSD and TCP/IP #8B4311) TCP/IP Ver. 2.0 for OS/2 IBM PS/2 with Ethernet PSF/2 Ver. 2.0 IPDS via (Order RPQ #8B4312) with CSD and TCP/IP TCP/IP Ver. 2.0 for OS/2 IBM RISC System/6000 PSF/6000 Ver. 1.2 IPDS via with Token-Ring AIX/6000(R) TCP/IP (Order RPQ #8B4311) Ver. 3.2.4 IBM RISC System/6000 PSF/6000 Ver. 1.2 IPDS via with Ethernet AIX/6000 Ver. 3.2.4 TCP/IP (Order RPQ #8B4312) IPDS Resident Font Support with Optional IPDS Features (#4140 or #4170): * Standard 4028/3912/3916 IPDS Fonts with feature 4140 (includes the * 32 4028 resident fonts and the 35 3912/3916 fonts): o 7 Courier o 7 Prestige o 13 Times New Roman** (4028 utilizes Times Roman) o OCR-A, OCR-B, APL o Boldface PS o Letter Gothic 20 cpi o Gothic Text 13.3 pitch (additional to 4028 set) o Gothic Text 20 pitch (additional to 4028 set) o Gothic Text 27 pitch (additional to 4028 set) * 4028 font cards are not supported. * 3812/3816 IPDS Font Subset (FC 4170). The 3812/3816 font subset supports 39 fonts from the standard 3812/3816 diskette excluding the following fonts: o 5219 Emulation Diskette (FGIDs 41, 42, 43, 70, 71, 72) o 3270 DCF/GML Diskette (all fonts) o Katakana-Gothic 10 (FGID 44) o Language Group 2 and 4 Diskettes (Kateb, Yasmin, Shalom, Aviv, Barak, Narkis) o The following standard diskette fonts supported via a bolding algorithm on the 3812/3816 are not supported on the 3112/3116: FGID 38, FGID 163 Code Page 259 has been added to support the resident Courier and Prestige 15 pitch fonts. To download fonts in the AS/400 or S/370(TM) or S/390(R) environments, 300 pel host based fonts are required. You cannot download 240 pel host based fonts. If this is tried a printer resident font is substituted. Custom fonts produced with Font Manager are not supported. The appearance of the 3812/3816 fonts on this printer may be slightly different than the appearance of these fonts printed on the IBM 3812, 3816, or * 3930. The 39 fonts from the standard 3812/3816 diskette that the * 3116 supports (with FC 4170) are: o 7 Courier o 4 Prestige o 7 Sonoran Serif o 6 Gothic Text o 2 Letter Gothic o 3 Essay o 2 Boldface o 2 APL o Orator o Script o Document o Serif Text o OCR A o OCR B SCS Data Stream Font Mapping: The 3116 with the Coax or Twinax Interface uses PCL fonts when operating with a non-IPDS host data stream. The printer selects and uses these PCL fonts differently depending upon whether the attachment is coaxial or twinaxial. With the coaxial attachment, fonts can be selected only by specifying characters-per-inch (cpi). With the twinaxial attachment, fonts can be selected by specifying either cpi or an FGID (Font Global Identifier). For selection by cpi, the printer uses the scalable Courier fonts. AS/400 programs can use FGIDs to specify non-IPDS fonts. Based upon an FGID request the printer uses various font characteristics to select substitute fonts. The 3116 substitutes Courier, Letter Gothic, CG Times, Times New Roman, and Univers typefaces for AS/400 requested non-IPDS fonts based on FGID requests. PCL font cards can also be mapped for non-IPDS usage. The font card must support Symbol Set PC 850 and have the correct fonts to be considered in the font substitution process. (Note: The 3116 requires a font card adapter to use font cards.) Please see the Font Reference for Coaxial and Twinaxial Features (S544-5270) for more details. Expanded Printable Area: The IBM 3116 includes the function to expand printable area when the Coaxial or Twinaxial Interface features are installed. The Expanded Printable Area (XPA) function provides a solution to customers requiring "edge-to-edge" printing, that is, capability on 4028, 3812, 3816, or 3930. The 3116, under XPA, has a reduced but not eliminated unprintable border. The unprintable border size is reduced approximately from an existing 0.167"-0.250" to 0.090"-0.141". The page of data is slightly scaled down to fit within the new expanded print area. This provides a pseudo edge-to-edge print solution by providing all data to print on the page, eliminating data clipping and/or loss. An example of this is the capability to print on a portrait page 66 lines at 6 lines per inch and 85 characters of text horizontally across the page at 10 cpi. Additional data and considerations: * The XPA function is selectable only on the operator panel. * The data is scaled down approximately 2%. * PCL and PostScript applications are not supported. * Only letter, legal, and A4 paper sizes are recommended. * Applications requiring this function that contain OCR data for scanning should be tested for readability. * Usage on preprinted forms should be tested to assure data placement accuracy is maintained. National Language Support for IPDS: Each of the listed code pages is supported by at least one of the resident IPDS fonts.

The separate standard 2MB IPDS memory can be expanded to 4MB or 8MB to store IPDS resources. (Model 003 has 8MB standard memory.) i-data 7913: The cancel key is not supported on the 3116 when attached via the i-data 7913. Printer Performance: The IBM 3116 Page Printer supports a maximum print rate up to 16 ppm. As is the case with most page printers in this class, performance depends on the following: * Interface to host (parallel or serial) * Host system and application * Complexity and content of the page and paper size * Available memory in the printer The maximum print speed at 1200 dpi resolution is eight pages per minute. 240 pel to 300 pel image/shading data conversion can cause significant decreases in performance. There is an APAR available to fix this on PSF/MVS. Please see the PSF/MVS Support Notes for details. Display Attachment: When attached as an emulated device, full function of the printer is not supported. Functions such as page rotation, font selection, cpi, lpi, superscript/subscript, and so on, may not be supported. Refer to the Connecting IBM Personal Printers to IBM Systems manual for attachment information. Print Area: The 3916 printable area is limited to within 4.2 mm (0.167 in) of the top and bottom edges and to within 6.25 mm (0.25 in) of the left or right edges of the media. Any information placed outside this specified printable area will not print. For A4 paper, the information on the page is adjusted to fit 80 characters per line at 10 characters per inch. Expanded Printable Area (XPA) will reduce the unprintable border, for IPDS and SCS applications, from an approximately existing 0.167"-0.250" to 0.090"-0.141". It will not provide actual "edge-to-edge" printing as implemented on the IBM 3812, 3816, 4028, and 3930 printers. XPA function will compress the print data to fit into the printable area, eliminating data clipping/loss. Print Quality: During the life of the printer, components are subject to wear based on usage. Printers continuously operating at or near the maximum duty cycle may require service for replacement of these components to ensure high quality performance and printing throughout the life of the printer. PPDS Limitations: The 3116 supports the 4029-level PPDS commands as defined in the LaserPrinter 4029 Technical Reference with the following exceptions: * 600/1200 pel resolution is not supported. * Type 1 Font Download is not supported. * 4029 GL Mode is not supported. * Proprinter X24 graphics are not supported. Output Bin Full Sensing: The 3116 Model 001 does not have output bin full sensing. 3812/3816 Compatibility: * IPDS Fonts The 3812/3816 font subset supports 39 fonts from the standard * 3812/3816 diskette excluding the following fonts: o 5219 Emulation Diskette (FGIDs 41, 42, 43, 70, 71, 72) o 3270 DCF/GML Diskette (all fonts) o Katakana-Gothic 10 (FGID 44) o Language Group 2 and 4 Diskettes (Kateb, Yasmin, Shalom, Aviv, Barak, Narkis) o The following standard diskette fonts supported via a bolding algorithm on the 3812/3816 are not supported on the 3112/3116: FGID 38, FGID 163 Code Page 259 has been added to support the resident Courier and Prestige 15 pitch fonts. To download fonts in the AS/400 or S/370 or S/390 environments, 300 pel host based fonts are required. You cannot download 240 pel host based fonts. If this is tried a printer resident font is substituted. Custom fonts produced with Font Manager are not supported. The appearance of the 3812/3816 fonts on this printer may be slightly different than the appearance of these fonts printed on the IBM 3812, 3816, or 3930. The 39 fonts from the standard 3812/3816 diskette that the 3116 supports (with FC 4170) are: o 7 Courier o 4 Prestige o 7 Sonoran Serif o 6 Gothic Text o 2 Letter Gothic o 3 Essay o 2 Boldface o 2 APL o Orator o Script o Document o Serif Text o OCR A o OCR B * SCS Fonts SCS fonts are limited to available PCL fonts. If cpi is used to determine the font, the scalable Courier font will be used. * Edge-to-Edge Printing The 3812 and 3816 printers can print edge-to-edge on a page. The new 3116 printers have an unprintable border. An operator panel setting has been provided to provide a pseudo-edge-to-edge print solution. The Expanded Print Area option will take the page of data and scale it to fit in the printable area, eliminating the clipping of data that would appear in the unprintable area. This capability exists for SCS and IPDS applications only. * PMP (Page Map Primitives) PMP commands are not supported with the new 3116 printers. * Performance * 240 pel to 300 pel image/shading data conversion can cause significant decreases in performance. This is primarily found in the S/370 environment with the printers using the IPDS features. OGL (Overlay Generation Language) generated electronic forms are prone to these scenarios. The new 3116 printers have an enhancement to eliminate this performance problem. To enable this enhancement APAR OW10903 is required for PSF/MVS 2.2, 2.1.1, * 2.1.0. This is explained further in the Software Requirements section. * Early Print Complete The 3812/3816 has a printer operator setting called "Early Print Complete" which can be set on or off. This option is not available on the 3116 printers and is by default always on. This means that the printer will send an early message back to the host indicating the print job is completed while the last couple of pages are still in process. If the printer loses power at this point in time potential data loss can occur. A similar scenario exists if this option is set "On" with the 3812/3816. 4028 Compatibility: * IPDS Fonts The same 32 IPDS resident fonts that are available on the 4028 are available on the 3116 printers that are purchased with the Standard font feature (FC 4140). The 3116 printers do not support the use of 4028 font cards for SCS or IPDS data stream applications. * SCS Fonts SCS fonts are limited to available PCL fonts. If cpi is used to determine the font, the scalable Courier font will be used. * Edge-to-Edge Printing The newer 4028 printers can print edge-to-edge on a page. The new * 3116 printers have an unprintable border. An operator panel setting has been provided to provide a pseudo-edge-to-edge print solution. The Expanded Print Area option will take the page of data and scale it to fit in the printable area, eliminating the clipping of data that would appear in the unprintable area. This capability exists for SCS and IPDS applications only. * Early Print Complete The 4028 has a printer operator setting called "Early Print Complete" which can be set on or off. This option is not available on the 3116 printers and is by default always on. This means that the printer will send an early message back to the host indicating the print job is completed while the last couple of pages are still in process. If the printer loses power at this point in time potential data loss can occur. A similar scenario exists if this option is set "On" with the 4028. * Toner The Toner supply cartridge on the 4028 printer and the Toner supply on the new 3116 printers are not interchangeable. 3912/3916 Compatibility: * IPDS Fonts The same 32 or 35 (391X RPQ) IPDS resident fonts available on the * 3916 are available on the 3116 printers with the 4028/3912/3916 IPDS font feature (FC 4140). * Toner The Toner supply cartridge on the 391X printers and the Toner supply on the new 3116 printers are not interchangeable. 3116 Feature Compatibility: 3112/3116 3912/ Compat.

Installability: The 3116 Page Printer is a customer setup (CSU) printer. However, for a fee, customers can elect to have their IBM CE install the printer hardware and: * Install printer option(s) * Install print cartridge and explain supplies usage * Set printer hardware configuration settings * Provide key operator training * Explain 200K Usage Kit * Provide basic instruction on paper loading There will be a label on the outside of the printer shipping box that will inform the customer of our CE Installation Contract inside. There will also be a cover letter inside the box that explains the process and the flat rate price for a single printer and the additional charge for each additional printer. Once the customer elects to have IBM install the printer(s), he or she is instructed to call 800-IBM-SERV (426-7378) and place a call for CE Installation. Upon arrival at the customer location the CE will secure a copy of the signed installation contract, install the hardware, and perform the other tasks listed in the statement of work. After the installation is completed, the CE will contact the Boulder National Customer Support Center (NCSC) for a contract number. The CE will note the number on the signed contract, leave the original with the customer, and forward a copy to NCSC. Supplies: The IBM 3116 Page Printer is shipped with the Diamond Fine 7K print cartridge installed. Print Cartridge Average Yield (5% Coverage): * 1382100 -- 7K Diamond Fine print cartridge = 7,000 pages * 1382150 -- 14K Diamond Fine print cartridge = 14,000 pages Compatible only with the IBM 3116 and 3112 Page Printers. Cartridge life can be extended by selecting Toner Saver or Draft from the printer's Print Darkness menu. Supplies Ordering: The IBM supplies are distributed via Lexmark. Supplies can be purchased from Lexmark Authorized Supplies Dealers or directly from Lexmark by calling 800-438-5835. Fax orders may be sent to 800-522-3422. Mail orders may be sent to: Lexmark Telemarketing Center 1221 Alverser Drive Midlothian, VA 23113 Customer Replacement Parts: 200,000 Page Usage Kit: Every 200,000 pages (impressions) the customer must purchase a Usage Kit to be installed by IBM. The fee for the Usage Kit is a usage charge and therefore not covered by IBM Warranty or IBM Maintenance. The Usage Kit replacements should be made after each 200K impressions by a customer engineer. The 3116 will display a message at the appropriate time but this message will not require an immediate kit installation and will not prevent the printer from operating. The message will continue to be posted each time the 3116 is powered-up until the kit is installed. The customer will need to order the kit and have it available for the customer engineer to replace. The kit is available by calling 800-346-3939 and ordering part number 69G5264 (Low Voltage Machine) or 69G5265 (High Voltage Machine). The kit will be shipped and billed directly to the customer. The kit contains a replacement fuser assembly, a transfer roller assembly, a paper feed D-roller assembly, and a lower redrive roller shaft assembly. 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, paper type and size, and environmental conditions) can affect supply life.
