 | Parts |
Fully refurbished with 90-day warranty
3160-002
Highlights
- Up to 60 ipm and 750,000 impressions per month
- Wide attachment flexibility
New Standard in Low Cost Printing
The
IBM 3160 produces sharp, clear printed output at speeds of up to 60
impressions per minute (ipm) depending upon the application and handles
production volumes of up to 750,000 impressions per month.
The IBM
3160 can print AFP application data sent from any of the IBM platforms:
Application System/400 (AS/400), Personal System/2 (PS/2), RISC
System/6000, and large hosts. This flexibility combined with its speed
and capacity makes the IBM 3160 an ideal printer to meet high-end and
departmental printing requirements.
Advanced Function Printing
The
IBM 3160 Advanced Function Printer takes full advantage of IBM's AFP
software to bring enhanced printing capabilities that include:
- Printing up to four logical pages on one side of a physical page
- Printing vector graphics, compressed images, and text anywhere on the page
- Printing with multiple character sets or fonts
- Application flexibility including electronic forms and bar codes
- Other data streams supported through the AFP print server architecture of IBM Print Services Facility for OS/2 (PSF/2) or IBM AIX Print Services Facility/6000 (PSF/6000) including PostScript** and Windows** ASCII through the AFP Windows driver.
Productivity
Additional functions are implemented through
the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS), the IBM function-rich data
stream intended for use with all-points-addressable printers. These
functions include system management of resources such as fonts, images
and electronic forms, exceptional error recovery, and accurate
accounting information. These IPDS capabilities, in conjunction with
the AFCCU, allow your operations staff to be more productive.
More Powerful Control Unit
The AFCCU is based on IBM's
recognized RISC technology. This advanced control unit supports IBM
printers as diverse as the IBM 3935 Advanced Function Printer, the IBM
3900 Wide Advanced Function Printers, and the IBM 3900 Advanced
Function Duplex Printing Systems.
Besides providing additional attachment flexibility, the AFCCU improves performance for the most complex jobs. This new generation control unit now includes capabilities that 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 3160 can print applications that print on other IPDS printers.
Attachment Flexibility
The IBM 3160 can be attached
easily to IBM S/370, S/390, AS/400, PS/2, or RISC System/6000 systems
using one of the following attachments as appropriate:
- S/370 parallel channel
- SNA Token-Ring (LU 6.2)
- TCP/IP Token-Ring
- TCP/IP Ethernet (-002)
The appropriate print driver is required depending on environment: PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, PSF/VSE, PSF/400, PSF/2, or PSF/6000.
Summary
When combined with IBM's AFP software, the IBM 3160 offers these key features and benefits:
- Up to 60 ipm and 750,000 impressions per month
- AFP and IPDS capabilities
- PostScript and ASCII through the AFP server architecture

Warm-up time from a "cold start" is 3 minutes. The time interval for first image out is less than 16 seconds.
Print Capacity
The IBM InfoPrint 60 has a maximum monthly print capacity of 750,000 impressions per month.
Operator Display and Interface
The
IBM InfoPrint 60's primary operator interface is through a Type 1
operator panel. The operator panel is comprised of a 2 X 16 character
LCD operator display that provides printer status, intervention
conditions and a menu of operations information. The operator panel
keys and indicators are labeled in English. A translated overlay is
provided in one of the following languages: English, Brazilian
Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese (Katakana) and Spanish,
based on the country code default. The operator panel LCD messaging is
configurable in one of the following seven languages: English,
Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese (Katakana) and
Spanish.
Printer Control Capabilities
The IBM
InfoPrint 60 is managed by a high performance printer controller
(AFCCU), that is functionally common to IBM's family of high speed
printers and helps ensure cross-printer compatibility within hardware
limits. The InfoPrint 60 contains 64MB of RAM storage which can be
expanded to a maximum of 128MB for performance enhancement.
The
InfoPrint 60 receives print information from the host system in the
form of an Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS). IPDS is an IBM
host-to-printer data stream designed to manage and control printer
processes. It is distinguished from previous data streams for printers
because it supports all-points addressability, which means it has the
capability of placing data at any defined point on the valid printable
area of a page. The IPDS structure is a significant concept because it
allows both data and commands to be sent to a printer connected to the
host system, independent of the attachment protocol used to connect the
printer to the host. IPDS permits the same data stream to be used for
printers that are attached by channels, controllers or any type of
networking link that supports the transparent transmission of data to
printing processes that are resident in the printer.
Resolution Migration
The
following data types will be supported, at General Availability, for
240 and 300 pel job streams to be printed at 600 dpi resolution:
Images (IM1, IOCA)
Bar Codes (BCOCA)
Text - Outline Fonts
Note: Minor character placement issues may occur.
Resident IPDS Fonts
The
IBM AFP Expanded Core font set, is supported as scalable Type 1 outline
fonts. The IBM AFP Expanded Core font set is contained in the AFCCU's
hard disk with the default font of Courier Roman Medium 12 pitch (10
point).
The InfoPrint 60 has the font handling capability for
600 pel outline fonts. However, the support level is dependant on the
various PSF platforms. For details, refer to the Software Requirements
section and the product's Introduction and Planning Guide (G544-5242).

Limitations
Printer Performance
The
IBM InfoPrint 60 has a maximum rated print engine speed of up to 60
PPM. As is the case with most printers, performance depends on the
following:
Interface to host
Host system and application
Complexity and content of the page being printed
Paper size (1)
Available memory
Note: (1) See maximum impressions per minute per paper size listed in the Specified Operating Environment Section.
Other factors that can have an affect on InfoPrint 60 performance are:
Side Sensitive Print Option when printing simplex pages
Cycle loss when switching between duplex and simplex pages in the same job.
The
Side Sensitive Option prints side two first, emulating the 3825. While
this works fine in duplex mode, this option also forces simplex pages
through the duplex paper path, reducing performance to 30 ipm and
affecting usage charges. (2)
Applications that switch form
simplex to duplex in the same job may also encounter a performance
impact. It is common for high speed laser printers to lose cycles
during simplex to duplex switching operations. For example, the
InfoPrint 60 will lose four cycles (impressions) during this operation.
(2)
Note: (2) See BLD FLASH 9549 for operating alternatives and additional performance detail.
Label Printing
When printing labels, observe the following:
USE ONLY THE BASE STACKER. Using the side stacker for labels may damage the printer.
Disable the side stacker.
Load labels face down in the upper sub tray, lower sub tray, or main tray.
Run labels only in simplex mode
Before ordering large quantities of you labels, run several small jobs to be sure they work properly.
Refer to InfoPrint 60 User's Guide for more details about running labels.

The following features are available and can be ordered with new machines or as MES field upgrades:
Attachment features
One
attachment feature is required to be ordered at the time the InfoPrint
60 is ordered. A second may be ordered. However, FC #4161 and FC #4162
are mutually exclusive. These are not customer set-up features. There
are no compatibility conflicts for these features. The ethernet
features do require a cable for attachment to the LAN. These features
are available as factory installed features or MESs for field
installation. When an attachment feature is added as an MES, any
mutually exclusive feature must be removed.
(#4020) 370 Parallel Channel Attachment
This feature provides
a high speed direct attachment using IBM Tag and Bus cables to an IBM
370 Parallel block multiplexer channel. This enables the InfoPrint 60
to connect directly to an IBM 3090, ES/9000, S390 Parallel Enterprise
Server or S390 Multiprise 2000 server.
The 370 Parallel
Channel Attachment supports a maximum cable length of 122 meters (400
ft.) if it is the only control unit on the interface. For each
additional control unit (up to a maximum of eight control units) this
length is reduced by 4.6 meters (15 ft.).
The 370 Parallel
Channel Attachment can also be attached to the remote end of an IBM
9034 ESCON converter which can extend the standard channel interface by
up to 3 Kilometers (9,842 ft.). An alternative way to extend the
distance is to use the Extended Distance Feature (XDF) on the 9032 or
9033. If additional distance is required, submit an RPQ for extended
distance for 9032 or 9033 with Extended Distance Feature. For more
information, consult the 9034, 3044-2 and 9032/9033 product
publications.
This feature is supported on the following software platforms: PSF/MVS, PSF/VSE and PSF/VM (see Software Requirements section).
(#4120) SNA and TCP/IP Support for Token-Ring LANS
This
feature allows connections to a Token-Ring LAN supporting IBM's System
Network Architecture (SNA) protocol. Currently, the InfoPrint allows
the printer to attach to Token-Ring LANs running the TCP/IP protocol
using feature 4120. The new printer can attach to either a 4 Megabit
per second (Mbps) or 16 Mbps Token-Ring LAN.
The new feature
4120 can only be installed on printers with serial numbers at or above
those listed in the Key Prerequisites section.
A Token-Ring adapter cable, P/N 60G1066, is included with this feature.
SNA/Token-Ring
is supported on the following software platforms: PSF/MVS, PSF/VSE,
PSF/VM, and PSF/400 (see Software Requirements section).
These features can only be installed on printers having serial numbers at or above those listed below.
Serial numbers 01-40200 - EMEA (Shipped by ILC Amsterdam)
Serial numbers 01-30400 - US/Canada/LA (Shipped by Endicott)
Serial numbers 97-00020 - AP (Shipped by Fujisawa)
(#4161) TCP/IP Ethernet Attachment - 10BaseT
The
maximum number orderable for this feature is one. The InfoPrint 60 ca
only support one active attachment - FC #4120, FC #4161,or FC #4162. FC
#4161 is a priced feature code. Should the customer need to change
attachment for the InfoPrint 60 at a later date this can be
accomplished by ordering one of these attachments as an MES for field
installation.
(#4162) TCP/IP Ethernet Attachment - 10Base2
The
maximum number orderable for this feature is one. The InfoPrint 60 can
only support one active attachment - FC #4120, FC #4161, or FC #4162.
FC #4162 is a priced feature code. Should the customer need to change
attachment for the InfoPrint 60 at a later date this can be
accomplished by ordering one of these attachments as an MES for field
installation.
(#4164) 100BaseTX Ethernet (Factory)
(#4165) 100BaseTX Ethernet (Field)
This attachment feature for the IBM Infoprint 60 supports the following LANs:
10BaseT Ethernet LAN using category 3/4/5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) with an RJ-45 connector
100BaseTX Ethernet LAN using category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) with an RJ-45 connector
This
feature provides a native attachment to a LAN via Ethernet (TCP/IP).
The attachment can be either 10 Mbps (10 million bits per second) or
100 Mbps (100 million bits per second) enabled. This interface will
automatically sense and emulate the data rate and transfer mode (half
duplex or full duplex) of the Ethernet hub, or it can be manually set
to match data rate and transfer mode.
This provides the
advantages of transferring data at a faster rate which can result in
better printer throughput and overall system performance.
The
Infoprint 60 can have only one Ethernet adapter installed. If the
10Base2 Ethernet adapter is already installed (feature number 4162) and
the 10/100BaseTX Ethernet adapter (feature number 4164/4165) is ordered
then the current adapter must be removed. If the printer has 10BaseT
Ethernet (feature number 4161) already installed and the 10/100BaseTX
feature is ordered, the current feature will stay in the printer but
will not be usable.
Limitations: The Ethernet 10/100BaseTX
feature is not supported on Infoprint 60s with PCL installed.
Therefore, feature numbers 4164/4165 are mutually exclusive with PCL
feature numbers 4820/4821 and PCL RPQs 8B4474/8B4475.
Cabling:
The cabling must meet specifications in ANSI/IEEE 802.3a, b, c and e.
The building cabling must conform to EIA-569 standard, which specifies
that the cable should be away from an EMI source. Some excerpts from
the standard state minimum distance from:
Transformers and electric motors - 40 in (101.6 cm)
Unshielded
power lines of 480 Volts or less or electrical equipment in proximity
to open or non-metal pathways - 24 in (61.0 cm)
Power lines enclosed in a grounded metal conduit in proximity to grounded metal conduit pathway - 12 in (30.5 cm)
Fluorescent lighting - 12 in (30.5 cm)
RAM Memory Expansion Features

(#4555) Variable Size Paper (Plant)
(#4556) Variable Size Paper (Field)
Summary:
The Variable Size Paper feature (FC 4555 and 4556) provides added
application flexibility for our customers. Customers can now take
advantage of printing on any size paper from 7.0 inches (178mm) X 7.48
inches (190mm) up through 11.69 inches (297mm) X 17.0 inches (432mm) in
the 500 sheet input trays.
The customer defines their paper sizes
to the printer console by using the SETUP/DEFINE FORMS menu. Values may
be entered in either inches or millimeters, but units may not be mixed.
As with standard sized papers, the paper in the input tray must match
the form size selected from the panel.
The customer would also
adjust the paper side guide in the 500 sheet input trays. The paper
side guide, which is movable to any position between 7.48 inches and
11.69 inches will be adapted to the two 500 sheet input trays for width
adjustments.
Technical Description: Enhanced capability to
print on any size paper from 7. 0 inches (178mm) X 7.48 inches (190mm)
up through 11.69 inches (297mm) X 17.0 inches (432mm) is now offered on
the InfoPrint 60 and 3160-001 Advanced Function Printers.
A
paper side guide which is movable to any position between 7.48 inches
and 11.69 inches will be adapted to the two 500 sheet input trays for
width adjustments. A microcode change permits adjustment in the feed
direction (or Length) from 7.0 inches to 17.0 inches. The main 2000
sheet input tray offers the same range of length adjustment, but must
still use the fixed side guide stops at 8.6 inches (216mm), 10.12
inches (257mm), 11.0 inches (279mm), and 11.69 inches (297mm).
Paper
sizes with widths greater then 11.69 inches (297mm) must be rotated in
the input tray to print, and the maximum print speed will be 30 ppm.
Paper sizes longer than 8.6 inches (218mm) in the feed direction
(length) will also print at a maximum of 30 ppm.
Custom paper
sizes are defined to the printer through the SETUP/DEFINE FORMS menu on
the control panel. Values may be entered in inches or millimeters, but
units may not be mixed. The paper size loaded in an input tray must
match the form size selected from the panel.
A special feature
of the Variable Size Paper feature is the ability to feed and print on
notebook divider TABs. When feeding TABs, the paper length may be set
from 8.6 inches (218mm) to 15.0 inches (381mm) including the TAB
dimension. The TAB itself may be up to .7 inches (18mm) in depth. For
example, a typical U.S. notebook divider TAB adds 0.5 inches to 8.5 X
11.0 inch paper for a combined overall size of 9.0 X 11.0 inches.
TABs
may be fed and printed on plain Index Tab Stock from 90 to 110 pound
weights in the main 2000 sheet input tray or the 500 sheet input trays
in Simplex mode only.
Maximum Number of Features: One.
Prerequisites: None. Corequisites: None. Compatibility Conflicts: None.
Customer Setup: No. Field Installable: Yes. Cable Order: None.
Limitations:
Paper sizes with widths greater then 11.69 inches (297mm) must be
rotated in the 500 sheet input tray(s) to print, the maximum speed will
be 30 ppm. Paper sizes longer than 8.6 inches (218mm) in length or feed
direction will also print at a maximum speed of 30 ppm.
TABs may be fed and printed on plain Index Tab Stock from 90 to 110 pound weights in simplex mode only.
Using
the variable size paper feature will affect throughput performance
because the printer pauses to clear the paper path prior to picking a
new custom size paper.
The effect will be minimal when using a single custom size paper in combination with standard size papers.
When sequencing two or three custom size papers in the same job, throughput performance will vary considerably.
(#4620, #4621) 3000 Sheet Side Stacker
This
feature is available as a factory orderable feature (FC #4620) or an an
MES for field installation by customer engineering (FC #4621). The
maximum number orderable for either of these feature codes is one. The
feature codes are mutually exclusive. Either feature code replaces the
standard 1500 sheet output stacker with a 3,000 sheet output capacity
stacker. These are priced feature codes.
(#4640) Finisher Feature for InfoPrint 60 (Plant)
(#4641) Finisher Feature for InfoPrint 60 (Field)
The
InfoPrint 60 printer with the finisher feature can transform your
complex print jobs into finished sets including covers and tabs.

(#9986) 6 Foot (1.8 M) Power Cord
This feature is made
available for customers (Chicago) who require a 6 foot (1.8 M) external
AC power cord instead of the standard 11 foot (3.35 M) power cord. This
is not a customer set-up feature. There are compatibility conflicts for
this feature and it does not require additional cables. The maximum
number orderable for this feature is one. This feature is available as
a factory ordered feature only.
Choosing the right supplies is
very important with the IBM InfoPrint 60. For optimum print quality and
performance reliability, the use of IBM supplies is recommended.
Supplies are purchase-only items. The customer is responsible for
ordering and maintaining an adequate stock of supplies. When a customer
purchases an InfoPrint 60, an IBM printing specialist should give the
customer a list of the alternative ways to order supplies.
Additionally, the specialist should advise the customer to order
supplies immediately and suggest they establish a supply agreement
(many Authorized Supplies Dealers offer supply agreements). A supply
agreement usually provides a customer with price discounts, price
protection for one year, creation of a shipping schedule and reduces
administrative expenses.
Supply Specifications
The
approximate average yields are not a warranty or guarantee of minimum
life, and are provided to assist in initial supplies planning. Actual
usage should be used to establish the supply's life in your
environment. Many factors (for example, print coverage per page, paper
type and size, machine and environmental conditions) can affect yield.
Warranty
for all supplies is one year from the date of purchase stated on the
purchase receipt. Supply warranties are only for defects in materials
and workmanship at the time of shipment and are not for normal wear and
tear. If you believe you are due a warranty return, return the supply
in its original package or a package from the replacement supply to the
point of purchase with an explanation of the problem and the
approximate number of prints run on the supply.
For additional
information on ordering supplies, see the IBM InfoPrint 60; 3160 AF
Printer Introduction and Planning Guide (G544-5242).
