Media lengths:
7 inches to 14 inches (178 mm to 356 mm) standard (Infoprint 4000–ID1/ID2 printer); 7 inches to
28 inches (178 mm to 712 mm) standard (Infoprint 4000–ID3/ID4 printer); 17 inches (432 mm) with
post-processing; up to 22 inches (558 mm) with RPQ (additional memory required)

Attachments
The InfoPrint 4000–ID1/ID2 and –ID3/ID4 supports a maximum of two attachments. These attachments
can be:
v ESCON channel
v System/370 parallel channel
v Token Ring (TCP/IP)
v FDDI (TCP/IP)
The two attachments may be the same (e.g., 2 ESCON channels), or mixed (eg., 1 ESCON and 1
Token-Ring). The exception is that the printer can have only 1 TCP/IP attachment of any flavor. You cannot
have 2 Token-Ring or 2 FDDI attachments, or a combination of 1 Token-Ring or 1 FDDI attachments.
When printing in duplex configuration, only one attachment can be active at a time. If both attachments are
to the same system, or to a tightly-coupled system, and the attachments are of the same type (example,
both are ESCON or both are parallel channel), then switching between the two attachments can be
performed dynamically by the host system. If the attachments or host differ, or the hosts are not
tightly-coupled, then the switch must be performed manually by the operator. The printer must be disabled
from the current system and attachment before it can be enabled to the other attachment.
System/370 Parallel Channel
System/370 parallel channel attachment is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing
environments. For S/370 parallel channel attachment, a control unit position on a S/370 parallel block
multiplexer channel is required on an IBM 3090
™
or ES/9000
™
processor. The following processors are
also supported for S370 parallel channel attachments, S/390 Parallel Enterprise Server, and the S/390
Multiprise 2000 servers. Attachment is also supported via the 9034 ESCON Converter Model 1.
ESCON Channel
ESCON channel is supported on PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and PSF/VSE printing environments. The IBM
InfoPrint 4000 may be attached natively to IBM ESCON channels (3090-J, 9021, 9121, 9221, 9672, 2003).
Attachment is also supported via the 9032/9033 ESCON Directors and 9036 ESCON Remote Channel
Extender model 1 and model 2.
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) Attachment
Token-Ring (TCP/IP) attachment is supported on PSF for OS/2 and PSF for AIX printing environments
along with selected RS/6000 and AS/400 models. The Infoprint 4000 is connected to the host Token-Ring
through the IBM Token-Ring cabling via the Token Ring High-performance adapter, which is contained in
the AFCCU. The control unit can be attached to either a 16Mbit/sec or a 4Mbit/sec Token-Ring LAN. The
TCP/IP Token-Ring Attachment will attach to the following devices:
v 8228 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor
v 8230 Token Ring Network Controller Access attached to an AS/400 or RS/6000 processor
v 8228 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to a 3172, 3174, 3745, 3725, or 3720 attached to a
3090, ES/9000, or 308X processor
v 8230 Token Ring Multistation Access Unit attached to a 3172, 3174, 3745, 3725, or 3720 attached to a
3090, ES/9000, or 308X processor
