The printer uses 6 MB of its 32 MB (3160-001) or 64 MB (InfoPrint 60). of
standard memory for downloading fonts, page segments, and overlays. To
determine if this is enough, calculate the total memory you need for fonts and
images on that page.
Depending on the size and number of characters within a font, about 25 kbytes
to 37.5 kbytes of memory are needed for each single-byte font. Additionally, at
least 7.5 kbytes of memory are needed for each square inch of image data
when the resolution is 240 x 240 (3160-001), and 45 kbytes per square inch
when the resolution is 600 x 600 (InfoPrint 60). For better performance within
a job, consider the font and image memory requirements for all of the pages
that comprise the job.
Note: The figures given here reflect memory requirements for normal usage
and are provided only as a guideline. Under unusual circumstances,
there can be additional considerations. For example, there is a limit to
the total number of characters and images that can be stored in
memory.
If you need additional memory, contact your IBM marketing representative.
The 3160-001 can be upgraded with an additional 16 or 32 MB of memory, and
the InfoPrint 60 with 32 or 64 MB.
Compatibility Considerations
Here are some factors to consider if you are sending jobs from other page printers
to the InfoPrint 60 or 3160-001 printer.
The printer supports fonts in the same format as those for the IBM 3130, 3820,
3825, 3827, 3828, 3835, and 3900 printers. User-modified or user-created
3800 printer fonts are not compatible with this printer's fonts.
Although the printer can print edge to edge, consider paper registration and
size variations when defining the margins.
The printer can print to the paper’s edge, but for the best print quality, the
following margins are recommended:
Edges:
2.5 mm (0.1 in.)
Punched holes: 3.0 mm (1.2 in.)
The printer's default point of origin is the top left corner of the short side of the
media.
