Chapter 1. Introducing Your IBM Network Color Printer
Congratulations on purchasing your new IBM Network Color Printer. The
Network Color Printer is a color laser printer with a number of advanced
features. It can produce single-sided monochrome prints at a rate of up to
12 pages per minute (ppm) and full-color prints at a rate of 3 ppm. The
printer has a cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) full-color laser engine
that prints 16 gray levels per color. It prints PostScript jobs in Windows,
Macintosh, and UNIX environments.
The IBM Network Color Printer comes in three memory configurations:
• The 16-megabyte (MB) configuration provides advanced network
connectivity and high quality color laser printing. This is the default
configuration.
• The 32-MB configuration provides on-printer queueing and spooling,
expanded network connectivity, and faster printing.
• The 48-MB configuration provides all of the functionality described
above, as well as increased printing speed and higher print quality on
especially complex color print jobs.
Each of the three printer configurations provides a high level of print
quality. However, these configuration options allow you to balance cost,
performance, and printer features in a way that is right for your
organization.
The 16-MB Printer Configuration
The 16-MB configuration provides high quality color printing at a very
competitive price and is a good choice for home office and other small-
scale business applications.
Performance
The 16-MB configuration is best suited for print jobs where the color areas
are predominantly presentation graphics and color text. These types of
jobs will print at 3 ppm with the highest quality. As applications include
more images, they may print at less than 3 ppm. They will still print with
very high quality.
Features
The 16-MB configuration offers several features for high-quality printing:
Network Connectivity
: The 16-MB configuration provides network
connectivity. It can receive jobs at the same time from TCP/IP users,
Novell NetWare servers, Windows NT servers and workstations, and
Macintosh and other AppleTalk users.
