Introduction
Your IBM 4232 Printer Model 302 is a wire-matrix printer with many
features to help you perform your work efficiently. Your printer
combines excellent print quality along with the ability to print in
several print styles and graphics.
Your printer receives some instructions from you and some
instructions from the
computer system
. The computer does the
processing
; the printer prints the result. It is important that you
communicate with the people who operate and program the
computer so that you know when any changes are made that could
affect your printer.
The printer can use one of four different
forms devices
to move
paper through the printer. Each device does a different type of print
job, depending on the type of forms you use: continuous forms for
large printouts, tear-off forms such as retail invoices, or cut sheet
forms. See “Forms Handling Devices” on page 2-16 for more
information.
The printer has four different
print quality
settings:
DP (Data Processing) Quality
Fast Draft Quality
DP Text Quality
Near Letter Quality.
You can set the
character spacing
on the printer to the following
characters per inch (CPI):
| 20 (Fast Draft and DP Quality only).
| 17.1 (Fast Draft and DP Quality only).
16.7 (Fast Draft and DP Quality only).
