Description
Improved Price/Performance
The IBM 3930 Page Printer is a replacement for the IBM 3816 Page Printer. The IBM 3930 operates at a higher rated speed (30 IPM), processes print data faster via an improved controller, and has a higher maximum monthly print capacity of 150,000 pages (impressions) per month.

End-User Productivity - Improved Worker Productivity
Worker productivity is increased via the faster print speed of the IBM 3930 versus predecessor printers. The combination of the 30 IPM print engine and the improved controller design significantly improves the actual print throughput of the 3930.

Growth Enablement - Increased Capacity, Improved Performance
The higher maximum print capacity of the IBM 3930 (150,000 per month) allows businesses to increase their print loads without having to purchase additional printers.

Flexible System Attachment
The IBM 3930 Page Printer will provide attachment to multiple system environments including: IBM AS/400*, IBM System/370*, IBM System/390*, IBM RISC System 6000*, IBM PS/2*, IBM PC, and compatibles. Industry-standard physical attachments and data protocols will be supported.

Growth Enablement - Connectivity
The IBM 3930 Page Printer can be moved from one system environment to another as companies upgrade or change their host systems. The user need change only cables or interface features.

Investment Protection - Strategic Architecture, Industry Standards
The IBM 3930 Page Printer will support the IPDS* and SCS datastreams in the IBM System/370* and IBM System/390* environments. On AS/400 Systems, the IBM 3930 will support the IPDS datastream. Within the LAN/ASCII environments, the 3930 will support the widely used PCL5** and PostScript Level 1 data streams. This allows easy portability of the 3930 to new applications.

End-User Productivity - Improved Worker Productivity
The high capacity (up to 1,750 sheets) paper input and high capacity paper stacking(up to 1,400 sheets) reduces the amount of time spent by users adding and removing paper from the printer. Slower speed printers normally have paper capacities of less than 1000 for input and output trays.

Growth Enablement - Increased Capacity
The standard input and output paper capacity of the IBM 3930 is 800 and 550 sheets, respectively. The customer can purchase high capacity input and output features to increase capacity to 1,750 and 1,400 sheets, respectively.

Cost of Printing
The total cost of printing of the IBM 3930 is competitive with other printers in its speed and usage range. Additionally, at higher duty cycles the IBM 3930 can provide lower cost of printing than the use of multiple slower speed printers.

Business Solutions - Enable Customer's Competitive Advantage
Use of the IBM 3930 rather than multiple lower speed printers can provide the customer with both cost of printing and labor savings. The labor savings is due to less paper handling.

Model Description 3930-02D
The Model 02D is a 240-PEL resolution, duplex page printer. The standard interfaces shipped with the 02S are RS-232 and RS-422 Serial. This model is designed to be used with the Coax and Twinax Attachment options. However, with the ASCII Attachment Feature the Model 02D may be used as an ASCII printer in IBM Quietwriter emulation. A Coax, Twinax, or ASCII Attachment feature must be specified on the initial order.

The IBM 3930 Page Printer is designed for unattended operation in IBM mainframe distributed, IBM mid-range, and local area network (LAN) system environments:
System/390*: Model 02D attaches via the Coax Attachment Feature to IBM 3174 Controllers, ES/9000* Processors and ES/9370* Processors.
AS/400*: Model 02D attaches via the Twinax Attachment Feature to the AS/400 and AS/400-attached 5X94 controllers.

Overlay Caching
This option on the Page Printer Operational Diskette allows the user to select the number of overlays that will be stored in the printer's random access memory (RAM). By selecting this option, printer performance may improve by saving the specified number of overlays in RAM. Using the saved overlays can be faster than regenerating them from the command sequence each time they are used. Up to four overlays can be saved provided that enough RAM exists to store them.

With this option turned off, each overlay's commands are saved in the printer's buffer that would need to be executed each time. This can be very processor-intensive depending on the complexity of the overlay. With this option turned on, the overlay is generated only once and the bitmap of the overlay is saved in RAM. Each time the overlay is called, its bitmap is simply transferred from RAM to the actual printable bitmap memory area.

If the application uses more overlays than specified in this option, then the overlays are stored in the printer's RAM in the order that the host sent them.

The overlay caching function is available only on the Model 02S and 02D, used with the Twinax Attachment (FC 9217) or the Coax Attachment (FC 9476). The standard code shipped with both attachment features now contains the overlay caching function.

File Management System
The IBM 3930 File Management System (FMS) is a utility designed to help you create and modify files for the IBM Page Printer Models 02D, 02S, 03D, and 03S. Since the 3930 Page Printer Operational Diskettes are in a non-DOS compatible format, this utility allows manipulation of the files on the 3930 Operational Diskettes. This program's main intent is to be used to customize the printer default settings via commands that are permitted through the data stream but not through the Page Printer's configuration menu. This is accomplished by running FMS on a personal computer with a 3.5" high-density disk drive and modifying the .init files on the Page Printer Operational Diskette. Other files, such as Page Map Primitive (PMP) - the Page Printer operating system files can also be modified as well. Some highlights of FMS's functions are listed below:
Duplicate/Verify/Save/Restore the Page Printer Operational Diskettes.
Delete, edit, and move files on the Page Printer Operational Diskettes.
Copy files between the Page Printer Operational Diskettes and a PC/DOS library stored on the personal computer's hard disk.
Edit (hexadecimal or ASCII) the Page Printer Operational Diskette initialization system files.

Import or export page map primitive (PMP) files between the PC/DOS library and DOS files in either binary or PMP-escape format. PMP-escape format allows a data stream to be sent from a personal computer to an attached page printer (IBM 3930 Models 02S and 02D only).

Supplies
Choosing the right supplies is key to customer satisfaction with the IBM 3930 Page Printer. The use of IBM supplies will
ensure optimum print quality, life of supplies, and machine availability. The use of xerographic paper is recommended. A variety of non-xerographic papers may be used with a possible degradation of print quality.

The IBM 3930, like the IBM 3816, is designed to allow the customer to replace key machine parts and supplies. This results in significant customer benefits, which are improved price/performance, lower service costs, and improved machine availability because the customer performs some printer diagnostics.

The customer must order and keep a spare set of supplies on hand to be used interchangeably in the diagnostics process. Customers who have multiple machines are required only to keep enough spare sets to adequately perform diagnostics on multiple machines. The customer may want to establish a supply agreement with Lexmark or an Authorized Supplies Dealer. Supply agreements often offer customers' price discounts, price protection for one year, establish shipping schedules, and reduce administrative expense.

* Approximate average yield has been established with a
coverage of 4 percent.

** Approximate average yield for the Models 02D and 03D is 100K

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 the end user's application. Many factors (for example, print coverage per page, paper type and size, and environmental conditions) can effect supply life.
