 IBM 4000 MICR
For high-speed, MICR printing at either 240 or 300-dpi resolution.
4000 MICR 
Highlights
- Consistent high-quality MICR printing
- Cost-effective, continuous-forms printing with 17-inch wide print line
- 240/300-dpi switchable resolution
- Speeds up to 501 two-up 8.5 x 11 inch or 472 two-up A4 impressions per minute
- Powerful control unit with advanced operator interface and flexible attachment capabilities
The IBM® InfoprintTM 4000 Advanced Function MICR Printing System is a high-speed, high-volume,
continuous-forms printer that provides you with exceptional reliability, excellent print quality and cost-effective Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) printing. With this printing system, you can
choose your resolution: 240, 300 or optionally switchable between 240 and 300-dots per inch (dpi).
The Infoprint MICR Printing System prints at speeds of up to 501impressions per minute (ipm) for 2-up
printing on 8.5 x 11 inch paper or up to 472 ipm for 2-up printing on A4 paper (8.33 x 11.67 inches).
Reliable MICR Printing
MICR describes the special typeface and ink used to encode the numbers and symbols used on the bottom line of checks and other documents that can be recognized by high-speed magnetic or optical
readers, such as the IBM 3890 and 3895 check processors.
The Infoprint 4000 MICR Printer uses magnetic toner to provide output that is highly durable and
readable with very high-read rates. The printing system also features a MICR test font with outline characters that you can use to ensure that MICR applications are developed safely without loss of font
security. This high-performance MICR printing allows financial institutions to reduce costs and improve their customer responsiveness by eliminating the need for expensive, preprinted forms.
Application Flexibility
Based on the proven IBM Advanced Function Printer technology, the IBM Infoprint 4000 MICR Printing
System offers all-points-addressable printing. The system supports vertical and horizontal perf-to-perf printing with roll-feed paper. In addition, pinless roll-feed paper can be loaded for maximum efficiency
and greater paper savings.
Bar codes and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications also are well-suited to this MICR printer's ability to accurately register exact print placement on continuous forms.
In addition, by combining IBM's exclusive Page Positioning capabilities with the control unit, you can print up to four logical pages on a sheet. Each page can be a distinct size and sequenced, rotated and
positioned as you wish. This can be done easily outside of your application programs.
Leading-Edge Controller
The new, more powerful Advanced Function Common Control UnitTM (AFCCUTM) uses IBM's
renowned RISC System/6000® (RS/6000TM) technology. The enhanced control unit gives you the flexibility of switching the resolution to either 240 or 300-dpi. This IBM exclusive moves high-production
printers one step closer to the industry-wide, open-system objectives. Error recovery is another key function enabled by IBM's leading-edge technology. For example, the control unit manages paper jam
recovery for the entire system, including the post-processing equipment.
Excellent Print Quality
The IBM Infoprint 4000 MICR Printing System provides leading-edge print quality. Together the
developer system and IBM's exclusive Print Quality Enhancement provide darker black fill, smoother edges and boldness control. Both enhance the overall image you project with your documents.
Pre- and Post-processing Capabilities
The pre- and post-processing interfaces provide added input and output capabilities beyond the
standard input source and output stacker. By adding roll-feed input and automated output options, long print jobs can be printed with little operator intervention. Depending on size, one roll can last up to six
hours, which is ideal for a "lights out" environment.
Advanced Function Printing
The IBM Infoprint 4000 MICR Printing System takes full advantage of IBM's Advanced Function
PrintingTM (AFPTM) software to bring enhanced printing capabilities that include:
- Printing up to four logical pages on a sheet
- Printing vector graphics, compressed images and text anywhere on the page
- Printing with multiple character sets or fonts
- Application flexibility including electronic forms and bar codes
- WYSIWYG viewing of the document, either before or after printing
Summary
The IBM Infoprint 4000 MICR Printing System offers these key features and benefits:
- Excellent MICR print quality
- A choice of resolutions: 240, 300 or an option to switch between 240 and 300-dpi
- AFP capabilities, including compressed images and vector graphics
- High-quality, high-speed, continuous-forms printing for high-volume applications
- Exceptional reliability
- Operator productivity enhancements such as the ability to add toner while printing
