Highlights
High
throughput--24 pages per minute printing 600 dots per inch
resolution using TrueRes image enhancement technology "Total
connectivity"-direct attachment to workstations, Local Area
Networks (LANs), and traditional IBM hosts Network enabled
with compatible PCL5e data stream support standard. PostScript
level 2 by Adobe (standard on 24PS model), IBM AFP/IPDS, and
SNA (SCS) data stream support are optional Extremely fast,
high volume printing with large input media capacities and
optional high-capacity output finisher IBM's top of the line
workgroup printer offers incredibly fast 24 pages per minute
throughput for high-volume document environments. The IBM
Network Printer 24 provides up to 3100 sheets of input capacity.
It supports letter/A4, legal, and ledger/A3 sized media plus
duplex and finishing options. Simultaneous network and host
connections, combined with auto-port and data stream sensing
make this the printer of choice for large workgroups.
Shared
Environments Today's
environments require support of multiple printer data streams.
The Network Printer 24 supports PCL**5e and, optionally, PostScript**
Level 2, and IBM's traditional AFP/IPDS as well as SCS. The
Network Printer 24PS is PostScript ready. This model comes
standard with Adobe PostScript and 12 MB of memory. Native
support of all these data streams allows for consolidation
of multiple platform/application-specific printers to one
Network Printer 24. The bi-directional parallel interface
comes standard, and two of the four optional attachment cards
can be simultaneously installed. The Network Printer 24 automatically
switches among printer data streams, interfaces, and networks.
With the installation of IBM's Network Printer Manager (NPM)
utility, system administrators can easily install, configure,
monitor, and manage the Network Printer 24 from remote locations.
The NPM utility has been developed using the industry standard
SNMP Printer MIB ensuring future migration support and compatibility.
Connectivity requirements are changing as well. The Network
Printer 24 supports bi-directional parallel,Ethernet, Token-Ring,
Coaxial, and Twinaxial interfaces.
Performance
IBM's
high-speed workgroup printer offers fast throughput at 24
pages per minute for large workgroups. At the heart of the
Network Printer 24 is an exceptionally powerful controller
utilizing a 66 MHz processor - the fastest in its class.
Large
Workgroup Paper Handling Large
workgroups sharing a network printer require heavy-duty, high-
volume printing with maximum forms handling flexibility. The
Network Printer 24 is clearly the network printer of choice
to meet these requirements. The Network Printer 24 supports
paper sizes from B5 all the way up to ledger/A3. In addition
to the broad range of paper sizes, output support can be expanded
to 2500 sheets with the addition of the high-capacity finishing
option. With the combination of the large input and output
capacities, printing solutions exist for large print volumes
and unattended environments. Besides the large-capacity stacking
capability provided with the finisher, two additional features
are provided: offset jogging and stapling. These additional
capabilities provide productivity advantages and make sending
multi-copy jobs to the printer easier than ever. For example,
the existing multi-step process of print, copy, and finish
can be transformed into an efficient print and finish one
step operation.
