-IPDS support (on selected models)
-10, 12, 13.3, 15, 16.7, and 18 CPI (on selected models)
-LCD operator panel
-Coax, twinax, or serial/parallel (model dependent)
-Dot band technology
Model Abstract 4234-001
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 001 is a coaxially attached line-matrix impact printer providing printing speeds of up to 410 LPM in Draft mode, 300 LPM in Data Processing mode, and 120 LPM in Near Letter Quality. It attaches to the 3274, 3276, 3694 (US and Canada only), 4701, and 4702 Controllers and to Systems 4331/4361 and 4321 (US and EMEA only). It also attaches to the 9370 processor via the Workstation Subsystem Adapter.
Model Abstract 4234-002
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 002 is a twinaxially attached line-matrix impact printer providing printing speeds of up to 410 LPM in Draft mode, 300 LPM in Data Processing mode, and 120 LPM in Near Letter Quality. It attaches to the AS/400, System/36, System/38, 5294 or 5394 Remote Controller communicating with a AS/400, System/36 or System/38, and the Series/1 via the 5200 Series Printer Attachment.
For administrative purposes, Model 002 is designated as Model 00Z when ordered as an optional device as part of the System/36 Total System Package (machine types 5360 and 5362).
Model Abstract 4234-007
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 007 is a coaxially attached line-matrix impact printer providing printing speeds of up to 475 LPM in Draft mode, 350 LPM in Data Processing mode, and 160 LPM in Near Letter Quality. A high-function, multilanguage operator display panel, expanded printing capabilities, and a range of advanced functions for those systems supporting the Intelligent Printer Data Stream* (IPDS*) provide a new performance point relative to the existing IBM 4234 Models 1 and 2. The IBM 4234 Model 007 can be converted to the corresponding higher speed Model 011 via the Model Upgrade. Also available are conversions that allow host attachments to be changed in the field.
Model Abstract 4234-008
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 008 is a twinaxially attached line-matrix impact printer providing printing speeds of up to 475 LPM in Draft mode, 350 LPM in Data Processing mode, and 160 LPM in Near Letter Quality. A high-function, multilanguage operator display panel, expanded printing capabilities and a range of advanced functions for those systems supporting the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) provide a new performance point relative to the existing IBM 4234 Models 1 and 2. The IBM 4234 Model 008 can be converted to the corresponding higher speed Model 012 via the Model Upgrade. Also available are conversions that allow host-attachments to be changed in the field.
Model Abstract 4234-009
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 009 is an ASCII serial/parallel attached line-matrix impact printer providing printing speeds of up to 475 LPM in Draft mode, 350 LPM in Data Processing mode, and 160 LPM in Near Letter Quality The IBM 4234 Model 009 has a high-function, multilanguage operator display panel, expanded printing capabilities and it can be converted to the corresponding higher speed Model 013 via the Model Upgrade. Improved price/performance, additional functions, and improved ergonomics relative to existing IBM printers in this speed range are also offered. Also available are conversions that allow host-attachments to be changed in the field.
Model Abstract 4234-011
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 011 is a coaxially attached line matrix impact printer providing speeds of up to 800 lpm in Draft mode, 600 lpm in Data Processing mode, and 200 lpm in Near-Letter quality mode. Improved price/performance, additional functions, and improved ergonomics relative to existing IBM printers in this speed range are offered along with a range of advanced functions for those systems supporting the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) architecture. The Model 011 attaches coaxially to the 3174/3274 Control Units, 4321/4331/4361 Display Printer Adapters, 4361 Workstation Adapter, and the 9370 Workstation Controller.
Model Abstract 4234-012
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 012 is a twinaxially attached line matrix impact printers providing speeds of up to 800 lpm in Draft mode, 600 lpm in Data Processing mode, and 200 lpm in Near-Letter quality mode. Improved price/performance, additional functions, and improved ergonomics relative to existing IBM printers in this speed range are offered along with a range of advanced functions for those systems supporting the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) architecture. Model 012 attaches twinaxially to the S/36, S/38, and AS/400* processors, and to the 5294 and 5394 remote control units.
Model Abstract 4234-013
The IBM 4234 Dot Band Printer Model 013 is an ASCII serial/parallel attached line matrix impact printers providing speeds of up to 800 lpm in Draft mode, 600 lpm in Data Processing mode, and 200 lpm in Near-Letter quality mode. Improved price/performance, additional functions, and improved ergonomics relative to existing IBM printers in this speed range are offered. Model 013 provides serial and serial/parallel attachment to the AS/400, RISC System/6000*, PC, PS/2* and the 6150 Micro Computer processors.
