Chapter Overview
This chapter describes the characteristics, functions, features, and components
of the 3130.
General Description
The 3130 is a cut-sheet, intermediate speed, non-impact, all-points-addressable
printer. It uses low-power laser, electrophotographic print technology, and is
capable of a volume-capacity of up to 200 000 impressions per month at speeds of
up to 30 impressions per minute.
The 3130 can print at a resolution of either 240 x 240 or 300 x 300 picture
elements (pels), and can be used for text, graphics, optical character recognition
(OCR), and bar code printing. Text, images, and electronic overlays can be placed
at any defined point on the page areas on which the 3130 can print.
The 3130 also features a high-speed RISC/6000-based control unit, which provides
the following benefits:
The ability to process complex print jobs at high speed
Expanded network attachment capability
