Chapter 1. InfoPrint 60 and 3160-001 Printers
Chapter Overview
This chapter describes the characteristics, functions, features, and components
of the InfoPrint 60 printer and the 3160-001 Advanced Function Printer.
General Description
These printers are cut-sheet, intermediate speed, non-impact, all-points-
addressable printers. They use low-power laser, electrophotographic print
technology, and are capable of a volume-capacity of up to 750 000 impressions
per month at speeds of up to 60 impressions per minute.
Two models are available, the 3160-001 and the InfoPrint 60. The 3160-001 prints
at a resolution of 240 x 240 picture elements (pels) and the InfoPrint 60 at
600 x 600 pels. Both models can be used for text, graphics, optical character
recognition (OCR), and bar code printing. Text, images, and electronic overlays
can be placed at any defined point on the page areas on which the printer can
print.
Note: In this guide, the unspecified term "printer" refers to both models. Likewise,
if a statement is made without reference to a particular model, it refers to both
models.
These printers also feature a high-speed RISC/6000-based control unit, which
provides the following benefits:
Ÿ
The ability to process complex print jobs at high speed
Ÿ
Expanded network attachment capability
Ÿ
Improved paper handling
