The IBM 4546 Infoprint 1612 and 1622 Express are replacements for the Infoprint 1512 workgroup printer. These monochrome laser printers offer faster printing of up to 35 pages per minute (PPM)(1) letter size, up to 33 PPM(1) A4 size. Both printers are designed to deliver the functions needed to support small businesses and small workgroups. While the Infoprint 1612 is IBM's lower cost printer, the Infoprint 1622 comes with a faster processor and more memory.
Note:(1) Exact print speed varies depending on document complexity, system configuration, software applications, driver, and printer status.

| Description |
The Infoprint 1612 and 1622 Express printers offer flexible networking options including wireless. With wireless capability, you can relocate printers quickly and easily without the cost and delay associated with physical cabling.
Infoprint 1612 and 1622 Express are monochrome printers that support Letter-size media at up to 35 pages per minute (ppm) and A4-size media at up to 33 ppm. The time to first print is as fast as 6.5 seconds for the Infoprint 1612 and 7.0 seconds for the Infoprint 1622. The printers come in the following models:

All models come with duplex, one 250-sheet drawer, and a single sheet multipurpose tray standard. One 550-sheet optional drawer is supported for a total input capacity of 801 sheets. Output capacity for all models is 150 sheet top or 1 sheet rear.
Memory
All models have one slot for additional SDRAM memory. Memory options for the Infoprint 1612 include 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB for a maximum of 160 MB of memory. Memory options for the Infoprint 1622 include 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB for a maximum of 320 MB of memory. The Infoprint 1612 has one slot for flash memory with a 32 MB flash memory option supported. The Infoprint 1622 has one slot for flash memory and one slot for an application solution feature.
Network connections
All models come with 10/100BaseTX Ethernet as standard. Ethernet connections using external print servers and wireless Ethernet are also available.
Usage rates
The maximum monthly usage for the Infoprint 1612 is 80,000 impressions and for the Infoprint 1622 is 80,000 impressions. IBM does not recommend printing to the monthly maximum on a consistent basis.
Print quality
The resolutions of the printers are:
- 1200 x 1200 dpi (at half rated speed)
- 1200 Image Quality
- 2400 Image Quality
- 600 x 600 dpi
The Image Quality (IQ) enhancement, whether 1200 or 2400, is a special print mode designed to vary the intensity of each individual printed dot by manipulating its size to produce the appearance of greater print resolution within the limitation of a set number of dots per inch (dpi).
The Toner Darkness setting offers 10 user-selectable settings to balance print darkness and toner savings. The higher the setting, the darker the print. Within the range of print darkness settings, up to 50% toner savings can be realized. The factory default setting is 8. The Toner Darkness setting is accessible in the print driver.
Font support
The following fonts are supported by all models:
Emulation Number of scalable fonts Number of bitmapped fonts
------------ ------------------------ -------------------------
PCL 5e and 6 84+5(1) 2
PostScript 89 0
PPDS 39 5
Note: (1) These five additional fonts are OCR-A, OCR-B, and 3 Code 3 of 9 barcode fonts with different aspect ratios. These fonts are only available with PCL 5.
The fonts in the PCL emulation are compatible with the fonts in the HP LaserJet 1320 and include nine additional fonts and many extra symbol sets to support extra languages and applications. The fonts in the PostScript emulation are compatible with 69 of the 136 fonts in Adobe PostScript 3 and include 20 additional fonts.
Additional fonts can be downloaded to the printer RAM or optional User Flash. PCL emulation supports both scalable and bitmapped downloadable fonts. PostScript emulation supports only downloadable scalable fonts.

Performance Specifications
The Infoprint 1612 and 1622 Express maximum print speeds are shown in the following table. Actual performance depends on:
- Interface to the host (serial, parallel, network)
- Host system and application
- Page complexity and content
- Certain printer options installed or selected with the printer
- Available memory in the printer
- Printer resolution
- Media size
Continuous Print Speeds in pages-per-minute (ppm), and sides-per-minute (spm) are shown in the following table:
Media Tray 1
---------------------------- ------
simplex thru-put up to
- Letter 35 ppm
- A4 33 ppm
- Legal 28 ppm
duplex thru-put up to
- Letter 16 spm
- A4 16 spm
- Legal 15 spm
A5/Narrow media thru-put up to
- Pages before slowdown (#) 1 - 3
- After slowdown (ppm) (1) 17
Note:(1) PPM could be slower based on media and environmental conditions.
Note:Speeds are for 600 x 600 dpi, 1200IQ, 2400IQ.
Time to First Print (TTFP) values are shown in the following table:
Mode (source = Tray 1) IP 1612 IP 1622
---------------------- -------- --------
Standby 6.5 sec. 7.0 sec.
Power Saver 6.5 sec. 7.0 sec.
Note:Time to first print is defined to be the time from the moment when the host sends the print signal until the moment the trailing edge of the first page leaves the exit feed rollers. TTFP is measured using a simple text correspondence page and letter-sized, plain paper. Assume nominal input voltage and approximately 23 deg C ambient temperature.
Print Area
The Infoprint 1612and 1622 printable area is limited to within 4.0 mm (0.158 in.) of top, bottom, left or right edges of the media. Print quality is not guaranteed for information placed this specified printable area.

Additional Media Guidelines for Infoprint 1612 and 1622
Follow the media guidelines below for successful printing:
Paper
- Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in lower print quality and more frequent paper feed failures.
- Colored papers must be able to withstand 200 deg C (392 deg F) fusing temperature.
- Preprinted forms and letterheads should be selected using guidelines found in the printer User's Guide. The chemical process used in preprinting may render some papers unsuitable for use with these printers.
- Unsuitable papers include multipart forms and documents; chemically treated papers; coated, synthetic and thermal papers; A5 paper less than 70 gsm (21 lb); recycled paper less than 75 gsm
- Recycled paper less than 80 gsm may cause unacceptable results
Envelopes
- If envelope wrinkling occurs refer to the User's Guide for correct loading and stacking of envelopes.
- All envelopes should be new, unused, and without package damage.
- Envelopes with excessive curl or twist exceeding 6 mm, those stuck together, those with bent corners or nicked edges, or those that interlock should not be used.
- Minimum weight: 75 gsm (20 lb.)
- The following envelopes should not be used:
- Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing.
- Envelopes with metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
- Envelopes with exposed flap adhesive when the flap is in the closed position.
- For best results, printing on new 75 g/m2 (20 lb.) sulfite or 25% cotton bond envelopes is recommended.
- Under high humidity conditions (over 60%), envelopes may seal during printing.
Transparencies
- Use letter or A4-size sheets only.
- Transparencies specifically designed for xerographic copy machines or laser printers may be used with the Infoprint 1612 and 1622.
Labels
Labels should be selected using guidelines found in the User's Reference, Complete Printer Reference, or the Cardstock and Label, and tested for acceptability. VINYL AND POLYESTER LABELS ARE NOT SUPPORTED. Occasional paper labels printing only.
