1. Maximum printing rate is the maximum number of pages of the indicated size and configuration that can be
printed at the constant speed of paper movement shown for each printer. Rates for pages of different sizes and
configuration can be calculated by dividing the form length into the printer speed. Actual printing rate will be less
if the printer cannot reach this rate due to complexity or density of the data or the ability of the system to deliver
data at this rate.
2. Maximum usage is based on operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, at maximum printing rate with normal
maintenance and operations activity. IBM does not recommend reaching this monthly maximum on consistent
basis.
Printable Area
The printable area depends on the size of the form being used. The Infoprint 3000–ES1 and –ED1/ED2
printers can print from perforation to perforation when using roll forms. However, when printing on folded
forms, the printing may be degraded in areas near a folded perforation, an internal perforation, or any cut
in the form because of the “tenting” (fold memory) of the form.
Figure 25 on page 75 shows an example of the printable area of a standard, letter-size roll form for the
Infoprint 3000. Notice that the media origin is located in different corners for wide and narrow forms.
Although the maximum printable area for narrow forms is 8.5 by 17 inches, and the maximum printable
area for wide forms is 17 by 17 inches, the examples show the printable area for letter-size forms.
