Highlights

• Quality output with 12 page-per-minute printing, 600 dots-per-inch resolution
• Direct attachment to workstations, Local Area Networks (LANs) and IBM hosts
• Compatible PCL5e data stream support standard with optional Adobe Postscript and AFP/IPDS support
• Low-cost duplex option for two-sided printing

The IBM® Network Printer 12 is designed for business professionals who demand high  performance, excellent 600 dots-per-inch print quality and high reliability for personal or small workgroup environments. Compact and robust, the IBM Network  Printer 12 features one of the smallest footprints in its class. Total  connectivity assures quick and easy installation to LAN and host  environments.

Shared Environments

Today's environments require support of  multiple printer data streams. The IBM Network Printer 12 supports PCL5e and,  optionally, Adobe**, PostScript** Level 2, and IBM's traditional AFPTM/IPDSTM as well as SCS. Native support of all these data streams allows for consolidation of multiple platform, application-specific printers to one IBM Network Printer 12.

The IBM Network Printer 12 supports all  standard network interfaces. Ethernet, Token-Ring, Coaxial or Twainaxial are optional. The IBM Network Printer 12 automatically switches among printer data streams, interfaces and networks.

With installation of IBM's Network Printer Manager (NPM) utility, system administrators can easily install, configure,  monitor, and manage the Network Printer 12 from remote locations. The NPM utility was developed using the industry standard SNMP Printer MIB ensuring  future migration support and compatibility.

Forms  Flexibility

User applications require forms  flexibility. The IBM Network Printer 12 supports paper sizes ranging from A6  (4.13"x 5.83") to legal (8.5" x 14") sizes. Additional sizes supported include  letter, A4, A5, B5, statement, and executive. This printer can also print on card stock, envelopes, transparencies, labels, and recycled paper.

The IBM Network Printer 12 comes standard  with two media input sources. It has a maximum input of 830 sheets with an optional input drawer. Adding the duplex option for two-sided printing is quick  and easy. The standard top exit area holds up to 250 sheets and the rear output  tray can hold up to 80 sheets. The rear media exit can provide a straight paper path when using the auxiliary tray as the input source. A straight paper path  optimizes paper feeding reliability for non-standard media.

High Performance

The printer's ability to maintain rated  speed while switching between multiple connections and data streams is critical. The wealth of communication sharing options available on the IBM Network Printer 12 make this possible.

The printer uses a combination of I/O  buffering, memory management, caching of common routines and permanently stored print resources in the flash memory (2MB or 4MB) or hard drive options. An additional number of microcode features keeps the printer running at the highest possible efficiency.

First-rate print quality

The IBM Network Printer 12 features  excellent 600 dpi print quality with TrueRes edge-smoothing technology. Toner  Savings Technology can nearly double the toner cartridge yield by reducing the  amount of toner placed on the printed page, which provides significant supplies  cost savings while maintaining usable output quality.
