Description

The IBM 5224 Printer is a table-top impact matrix line printer for the 5280 Distributed Data System, S/1, S/34, S/36, and S/38.

Problem Determination Procedures

Problem determination is aided by significant offline verification tests which have been designed into the printer control unit to provide greater printer availability to the customer. See "IBM 5224 Printer Operator's Guide" (GA34-0092) for procedures.

Model Description 5224-001

The 5224 is an impact matrix line printer of table-top design with characteristics similar to the 5225 printer. A table is not provided with the 5224. The character matrix is eight dots high and seven dots wide. Maximum character height is 2.92mm (0.115 inches).

Three character sets are available.

Character set selection has no effect on print speed. Uppercase and lowercase is provided in all character sets. Horizontal print density of 10 or 15 characters per inch (cpi) is operator-selectable. Line spacing of six or eight lines per inch (lpi) is similarly selectable. S/34, S/36, and S/38 Programming supports programmable control of print density and line spacing. Operator selection of density and spacing can optionally be exercised. See "System Attachment" below. The 33.5cm (13.2 inch) print line provides for a maximum of 132 characters at 10 cpi and 198 characters at 15 cpi. Oversize and special characters, logos, business graphics, OCR-A, and bar-code printing can be printed dependent upon host program support. An audible alarm provides an indication to the operator when manual intervention is required due to one of nine printer error conditions. Cable-through provides the capability of connecting a total of seven multiple 5219s, 5224s, 5225s, 5251 Model 1 or 11, 5252s, and to a single twinaxial or shielded twisted-pair cable. All cable-through devices on a single cable must use the same cable type. The 5251-1 and 5252 devices require twinaxial cable. Each unit on the cable, except the last, requires this feature.

Only one additional printer may be attached via Cable-Through if coax cable is used.

A cartridge ribbon provides for fast, easy and clean ribbon changes. One cartridge ribbon and a ribbon shield, to prevent smudging, are provided with the 5224. A fully adjustable forms tractor provides for feeding margin-punched continuous forms. Up to 4-part forms may be utilized. Forms greater than four parts should be tested for customer acceptance. See "Forms Design Reference Guide for Printers" (GA24-3488) for forms design considerations. Forms skipping and vertical spacing are under program control.

Throughput Considerations

Six factors determine print speed:

The Model of the 5224.
The print position of the right-most character in the line being printed.
The print density (10 cpi or 15 cpi).
Vertical spacing and skipping.
Communications and programming considerations.
Density (quantity of dots) in each line printed.

The 5224 maximizes throughput by taking advantage of short line lengths prevalent in most printing. Throughput of Model 1 is line-length dependent as indicated by the position of the right-most character printed. Any print line 18.8cm (7.4 inches) long or less, as measured from the left, will print at the rate of 240 lines per minute at 10 cpi or 170 lines per minute at 15 cpi. Lines longer than 18.8cm (7.4 inches) will print at a rate reduced in proportion to the number of characters printed beyond 18.8cm (7.4 inches).

Care in forms design can significantly improve printer throughput. Unnecessary blanks between vertical columns should be avoided. Columns with low data content should be placed to the right of the form. Consideration should be given to print density; 10 or 15 cpi. By redesigning the form for 15 cpi, two-up output may be achieved, thereby improving final throughput.

The 5224 Printer uses an internal print management feature to guard against damaging the printer due to the quantity of dots in a print line. When printing a dense line (a line with a large number of dots), this safeguard may cause the print mechanism to print the line by using multiple passes of the print head. When the printer operates in multi-pass mode, each print line requiring multiple passes is considered to be full length 33.5cm (13.2 inches). The nominal print speed in multi-pass mode for the Model 1 is 20 lpm at 10 cpi and 15 lpm at 15 cpi. The additional time required for multi-pass printing lowers the overall throughput proportionally to the frequency of the dense lines printed.

Although some print lines may contain large quantities of dots (forcing multi-pass printing), usually only repetitive printing of the same character causes multi-pass printing. For example, a series of asterisks or dashes, normally used for highlighting are printed at a lower speed. In printing operations where speed is a primary concern, special techniques can be used to avoid multi-pass printing. For example:

Use of the Load Alternate Character (LAC) command on S/34 or S/36 via the Advanced Printer Function PRPQ, Bar Code Print FDP, or other user-generated programs may result in the use of graphics which will result in multi-pass printing. Since print time may vary with each line printed, as line length varies, or due to skipping and spacing, typical customer documents should be benchmarked if specific throughput rates are desired.

The following charts show the relationship of these variable factors in determining print speed.

Problem Determination Procedures

Model Description 5224-002

Three character sets are available.

Character set selection has no effect on print speed. Uppercase and lowercase is provided in all character sets. Horizontal print density of 10 or 15 characters per inch (cpi) is operator-selectable. Line spacing of six or eight lines per inch (lpi) is similarly selectable. S/34, S/36, and S/38 Programming supports programmable control of print density and line spacing. Operator selection of density and spacing can optionally be exercised. See "System Attachment" below. The 33.5cm (13.2 inch) print line provides for a maximum of 132 characters at 10 cpi and 198 characters at 15 cpi. Oversize and special characters, logos, business graphics, OCR-A, and bar-code printing can be printed dependent upon host program support. An audible alarm provides an indication to the operator when manual intervention is required due to one of nine printer error conditions. Cable-through provides the capability of connecting a total of seven multiple 5219s, 5224s, 5225s, 5251 Model 1 or 11, 5252s, and to a single twinaxial or shielded twisted-pair cable. All cable-through devices on a single cable must use the same cable type. The 5251-1 and 5252 devices require twinaxial cable. Each unit on the cable, except the last, requires this feature.

Only one additional printer may be attached via Cable-Through if coax cable is used. The cartridge ribbon provides for fast, easy and clean ribbon changes. One cartridge ribbon and a ribbon shield, to prevent smudging, are provided with the 5224. A fully adjustable forms tractor provides for feeding margin-punched continuous forms. Up to 4-part forms may be utilized. Forms greater than four parts should be tested for customer acceptance. See "Forms Design Reference Guide for Printers" (GA24-3488) for forms design considerations. Forms skipping and vertical spacing are under program control.

Throughput Considerations

Six factors determine print speed:

The Model of the 5224.
The print position of the right-most character in the line being printed.
The print density (10 cpi or 15 cpi).
Vertical spacing and skipping.
Communications and programming considerations.
Density (quantity of dots) in each line printed.

The 5224 maximizes throughput by taking advantage of short line lengths prevalent in most printing. Throughput of Model 2 is line-length dependent as indicated by the position of the right-most character printed, except for the left-most 18.8cm (7.4 inches) of the print line. Any print line 18.8cm (7.4 inches) long or less, as measured from the left, will print at the rate of 240 lines per minute at 10 cpi or 170 lines per minute at 15 cpi. Lines longer than 18.8cm (7.4 inches) will print at a rate reduced in proportion to the number of characters printed beyond 18.8cm (7.4 inches). The Model 2 has a "design point" of 18.8cm (7.4 inches).

Care in forms design can significantly improve printer throughput. Unnecessary blanks between vertical columns should be avoided. Columns with low data content should be placed to the right of the form. Consideration should be given to print density; 10 or 15 cpi. By redesigning the form for 15 cpi, two-up output may be achieved, thereby improving final throughput.

The 5224 Printer uses an internal print management feature to guard against damaging the printer due to the quantity of dots in a print line. When printing a dense line (a line with a large number of dots), this safeguard may cause the print mechanism to print the line by using multiple passes of the print head. When the printer operates in multi-pass mode, each print line requiring multiple passes is considered to be full length 33.5cm (13.2 inches). The Model 2 in multi-pass mode operates at 25 lpm at 10 cpi and 20 lpm at 15 cpi. The additional time required for multi-pass printing lowers the overall throughput proportionally to the frequency of the dense lines printed.

Use of the Load Alternate Character (LAC) command on S/34 or S/36 via the Advanced Printer Function PRPQ, Bar Code Print FDP, or other user-generated programs may result in the use of graphics which will result in multi-pass printing. Since print time may vary with each line printed, as line length varies, or due to skipping and spacing, typical customer documents should be benchmarked if specific throughput rates are desired.

The following charts show the relationship of these variable factors in determining print speed.

Description

The IBM 5224 Printer is a table-top impact matrix line printer for the 5280 Distributed Data System, S/1, S/34, S/36, and S/38.

Problem Determination Procedures

Problem determination is aided by significant off-line verification tests which have been designed into the printer control unit to provide greater printer availability to the customer. See "IBM 5224 Printer Operator's Guide" (GA34-0092) for procedures.

Model Description 5224-012

The 5224 Model 12 Printer is an impact matrix line printer of table-top design with characteristics and function similar to the 5225 Models 11 and 12. A table is not provided with the printer. Two character sizes are offered. In alphameric mode at 10 characters per inch (cpi), the character matrix is eight dots high by seven dots wide. In ideographic mode at five cpi, the character matrix is 18 dots high by 18 dots wide. Alphameric and ideographic characters may be mixed on the same print line. The print mode is program selectable. Vertical spacing of four or six lines per inch (lpi) is program or operator-selectable.

The 5224 Model 12 can store 3,707 ideographic characters in Read Only Storage (ROS). In addition, 256 additional ideographic characters of the customer's selection can be stored in a program loadable buffer. This is in addition to the standard language group of Katakana or English. The number of characters in ROS, the buffer and the character sets have no effect on print speed.

A 33.5cm print line provides for 132 characters in alphameric mode or 66 characters in ideographic mode. An adjustable forms tractor facilitates feeding of continuous, margin punched forms. Forms with more than six parts should be tested for customer acceptance. See "Form Design Reference Guide for Printers" (GA24-3488) for forms design considerations. An audible alarm provides an indication to the operator when manual intervention is required due to an error condition. Cable-Through provides the capability of connecting multiple printers in a multi-drop manner on a single twinaxial cable. A cartridge ribbon provides for fast, easy and clean ribbon changes. One cartridge ribbon and a ribbon shield, to prevent ink smudging, are provided with the 5224.

Throughput Considerations

The following factors determine print speed:

Print position of the right-most character in the line being printed.
Mix of lines containing alphameric and ideographic characters.
Vertical spacing and skipping.
Programming considerations.
Density (quantity of dots) of each line printed.

Maximum throughput is achieved when printing lines up to 21.3cm long as measured from the left. Lines longer than 21.3cm will print at a rate reduced in proportion to the number of print positions utilized beyond 21.3cm. The following chart portrays these relationships to print speed:

PRINT LINE LENGTH

Mode CPS* 21.3cm 33.5cm
---------- ---- -------- --------
Alphameric 440 190 lpm 115 lpm
(only) 84-char. 132-char.
Ideographic 55 50 lpm 30 lpm
(only) 42-char. 66-char

* Characters per second is in terms of a calculated instantaneous rate. Any printed line containing one or more ideographic characters will print at the rate of "Ideographic Mode only."

Care in forms design can significantly improve printer throughput. Unnecessary blanks between vertical columns should be avoided. Columns with low data content should be placed to the right of the form. Since print time may vary with each line printed, as line length varies, or due to spacing and skipping, typical customer documents should be benchmarked if specific throughput rates are desired. The 5224 Printer uses an internal print management feature to guard against damaging the printer due to the quantity of dots in a print line. When printing a dense line (a line with a large number of dots), this safeguard may cause the print mechanism to print the line by using multiple passes of the print head. When the printer operates in multi-pass mode, each print line requiring multiple passes is considered to be full length 33.5cm (13.2 inches). The additional time required for multi-pass printing lowers the overall throughput proportionally to the frequency of the dense lines printed.

Model 5224-012

The speeds listed are the maximum rated speeds for a 18.8cm (7.4 inch) print line (throughput speeds) and 21.3cm print line (alphanumeric/
ideographic modes).

Customer Setup (CSU)

The 5224 is a Customer Setup machine. Customer responsibilities are set forth in "Information Bulletin for Customers - Customer Setup" (G120-2743). CSU instructions are included with the 5224.

For Attachment to S/34

The 5224 Printer may be attached to S/34 as follows:

When designated as the system printer, the 5224 connects to Work Station Control Expansion C (#4902) via one of the four twinaxial cable connectors on the 5340 System Unit. A 6m cable is provided with the 5340. Specify #9308 on the 5340.
When designated as a local work station printer, the 5224 attached in a manner similar to 5250 Information Display System devices via Work Station Control Expansion C (#4902) on the 5340. A maximum of 16 of these devices may be attached to S/34.

For Attachment to S/36

5224 Model 12 Printer may be attached to a S/36 having Work Station Controller Expansion feature.

For Direct Attachment to S/38
