Media weights:
The following paper weights are supported:
Duplex pinless for Infoprint 4100-PD1/PD2 supports paper weights between 12 and 28 pounds (45 and 105
gsm) bond are supported. Post-processing equipment is required for paper weights less than 16 pounds.
Duplex pinless for Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 supports paper weights between 12 and 42 pounds (45 and 157.5
gsm) bond are supported. Post-processing equipment is required for paper weights less than 16 pounds.
Duplex pinfeed for Infoprint 4100-PD1/PD2 supports paper weights between 12 and 28 pounds (45 and 105
gsm) bond are supported. Post-processing equipment is required for paper weights less than 16 pounds.
Duplex pinfeed for Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 supports paper weights between 12 pounds and 41 pounds (45 to
157.5 gsm) are supported. Post-Processing equipment is required for paper less than 16 pounds.
Dual simplex pinfeed for Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 supports paper weights between 12 and 42 pounds (45 and
157.5 gsm) are supported. Post processing equipment is required for paper weights less than 16 pounds.
Dual simplex pinfeed or Infoprint 4100-PD1/PD2 supports paper weights between 12 and 28 pounds (45 and
105 gsm) game bond are supported. Post-processing equipment is required for paper weights less than 16
pounds.
Note:
Pinless printing is not supported on simplex printers, or in dual simplex mode.

Attachments
The Infoprint 4100-HD1/HD2 and 4100-PD1/PD2 printers support a maximum of two attachments. These attachments
can be:
System/370 parallel channel
ESCON channel
Token Ring (TCP/IP)
Ethernet (TCP/IP)
FDDI (TCP/IP)
Gigabit Ethernet
FICON
The two attachments may be the same (for example, 2 ESCON channels), or mixed (for example, 1 ESCON and 1
Token-Ring). The exception is that the printer can have only 1 TCP/IP attachment of any flavor. You cannot have 2
Token-Ring or 2 FDDI attachments, or a combination of 1 Token-Ring or 1 FDDI attachments.
When printing in duplex configuration, only one attachment can be active at a time. If both attachments are to the
same system, or to a tightly-coupled system, and the attachments are of the same type (example, both are ESCON or
both are parallel channel), then switching between the two attachments can be performed dynamically by the host
system. If the attachments or host differ, or the hosts are not tightly-coupled, then the switch must be performed
manually by the operator. The printer must be disabled from the current system and attachment before it can be
enabled to the other attachment.
System/370 Parallel Channel
System/370 parallel channel attachment is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing environments. For
S/370 parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a S/370 parallel block multiplexer channel is required on
an IBM 3090 or ES/9000 processor. The following processors are also supported for S/370 parallel channel
attachments, S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server, and the S/390 Multiprise 2000 servers. Attachment is also supported via
the 9034 ESCON Converter Model 1.
ESCON Channel
ESCON channel is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing environments. The IBM Infoprint 4100
Duplex may be attached natively to IBM ESCON channels (3090-J, 9021, 9121, 9221, 9672, 2003). Attachment is also
supported via the 9032/9033 ESCON Directors and 9036 ESCON Remote Channel Extender model 1 and model 2.
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) Attachment
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PSF for OS/2 and PSF for AIX printing environments along with
