IBM 3160, Introduction And Planning Manual

Page: 19 / 102

Fonts
The printer supports the following:
Ÿ
The IBM strategic font set, which includes:
– The IBM Core Interchange Resident Scalable Font Set
– The 4028 Compatibility Resident Font Set
– The IBM Coordinated Font Set
Ÿ
The DBCS Resident Raster Font Set (as a separately-orderable feature)
For a more detailed description of each font set, see Appendix A, “3160 Font Set”
on page 39.
Performance and Print Quality
The printer prints up to 60 impressions per minute in either simplex or duplex mode
when using long-edge-fed paper; it prints up to 30 impressions per minute for
short-edge-fed paper. Table 1 on page 6 summarizes the types of paper you can
use and the maximum impressions per minute you can print.
Notes:
1. Actual printer performance is affected by a number of factors, including how
you configure the printer, the complexity of the data you print, the performance
of the host-system and the attachment you use, and the amount of available
memory.
2. The quality of printer output is affected by the paper you use and the
composition of the logical pages you print.
Advanced Function Image and Graphics
The printer can directly process advanced Image Object Content Architecture
(IOCA) images and Graphics Object Content Architecture (GOCA) graphics data,
as described in
Mixed Object Document Content Architecture Reference,
SC31-6802. This provides the following performance benefits:
Ÿ
The printer can process compressed images and vector graphics data in the
GOCA format, thus reducing demand on attachment data transfer and host
storage.
Ÿ
The printer, rather than the host system, decompresses images and rasterizes
vectors, thus reducing host system processing cycles.
Ÿ
The printer can perform arbitrary scaling operations or resolution correction for
scanned images, which allows some complex jobs to print at greater throughput
by increasing the overall data-processing speed of the printer.
