The IBM 3130 Advanced Function Printer is a 30 impression per minute (ipm), highly-reliable, cutsheet, duplex printer. The IBM 3130 supports multiple printer data streams, multiple concurrent interfaces, and provides exceptional paper handling options. These functions combine with IBM's powerful Advanced Function Common Control Unit (AFCCU) to provide a printer which can support traditional Intelligent Printing Data Stream (IPDS) environments, as well as local area network (LAN) environments.

Shared Environments
Today's environments require support of multiple printer data streams. The IBM 3130 supports PostScript** Level 2, PCL**5e, and IBM's traditional strength, IPDS. Native support of all three data streams means one printer can support both host and LAN applications. Data stream sensing and switching are also supported.
Connectivity requirements are changing as well. The IBM 3130 supports:
  • Standard high speed parallel interface
  • Ethernet interface
  • 19.2 or 56Kbps SDLC interface
  • Token-Ring interface
  • Twinaxial interface
An Ethernet interface, the parallel interface, and one additional interface may be concurrently active on the IBM 3130. Jobs may be interleaved from the three active ports and directed to separate output stackers.
Sharing interfaces and supporting multiple data streams does not equate to sharing paper sources or output stackers. While the four available input trays can be linked, they also can be dedicated to an application. Likewise, output stackers can be dedicated to an application or department. This flexible combination means up to three diverse application environments can share the same physical printer, and still retain job separation all the way from the input tray to the offset stacker.

Forms Flexibility
User applications require forms flexibility. The IBM 3130 supports paper sizes ranging from B5, all the way up to ledger size. Legal, letter, A3, A4, and B4 papers are also supported. The IBM 3130 can also print on card stock and labels. All of the drawers in the base footprint can support all of the supported paper sizes. A 500 sheet side input tray supports A4 and letter sizes.
Up to four input trays are supported on the IBM 3130. Three tray sizes are supported: 250, 500, and 2,000 sheets. All models support 3,000 sheets of paper from four input trays.
Up to three output stackers can be installed on the IBM 3130; two 500 sheet offset stackers and a 1,500 sheet offset stacker are available. All models can be configured with all three output stackers, for a total output capacity of 2,500 sheets

Performance
Maintaining rated speed in a shared environment becomes critical. The IBM 3130 takes advantage of the AFCCU. The AFCCU is based on IBM's recognized RISC technology. This control unit supports printers as diverse as the IBM 3900 Advanced Function Duplex Printing System and the IBM 3130.
Besides providing additional attachment flexibility, the AFCCU improves performance for the most complex jobs. This control unit includes capabilities which were features on earlier control units, such as Advanced Function Image and Graphics and Decompression Performance Enhancement. And, like previous control units, it can be extended with new capabilities in the future. At the same time, the IBM 3130 can print applications which print on other IPDS printers.
