IBM 4247 Model V03 Printer Offers Durability and
Fast Draft Print Speed for Demanding Applications
Overview
A Fast and Reliable Printer for Harsh
Conditions
The IBM 4247 Model V03 is a
professional industrial impact matrix
printer capable of printing at speeds
of up to 1,100 characters per second
(cps) in Fast Draft mode.
The Model V03 is a rugged printer
with metal covers, and is designed
for harsh environments and
demanding applications. It is
compatible with previous IBM 4247
models and offers user-installable
interface cards.
The Model V03 can have either one
or two straight continuous-forms
paper paths for outstanding
paper-feeding reliability. One paper
path is standard, and the second
path is an optional feature.
The printer features quiet operation,
a full-size operator panel similar to
today′s Model 003, and a workload
of up to 64,000 pages per month.
Print-quality choices are Fast Draft
mode, Data Processing mode (DP),
DP Text mode (DP Text), and Near
Letter Quality mode (NLQ). Versatile
paper-handling capability provides
printing on up to 8-part forms.
Typical applications include
transaction processing for invoices,
office or internal business
documents, as well as barcodes,
labels, and multipart forms.
Support for a Range of Connectivity
Options and Hardware Environments
A parallel port for simplified host
attachment capability is standard.
Optional attachments include:
• Ethernet local area network (LAN)
attachment through the internal
10/100BASE-T Ethernet adapter
or through Network Print Servers
for 10BASE2 Ethernet
• Coax and twinax SNA Character
Set (SCS)
• Coax and twinax Intelligent
Printer Data Stream
(IPDS )
• Token-Ring Types 1 and 3 through
Network Print Servers
• Ethernet IPDS LAN attachment
