- Flexible forms handling capabilities
- Very quiet for office use
- Superb reliability
- Backed by IBM's unparalleled service
and support
The IBM® 4230 Impact Matrix Printer family
offers high speed, exceptional reliability and rugged durability that make
it the right choice for the most demanding print environments and applications.
With print speeds of up to 600 characters per second (cps), depending on
the model, and superb reliability, the IBM 4230 Printers outperform other
impact printers.
Enhanced
Productivity
With its auto-forms load, innovative forms
handling features, customizable operator panel and menu selections, IBM
4230 printers will improve productivity and virtually eliminate user frustration,
paper jamming and costly paper loss.
The customizable operator panel option allows
you to easily lock out specific buttons or make them active again depending
on your specific environment. This option can be preconfigured prior to
the shipment of your printer.
The IBM 4230 offers robust benefits and productivity
features in a small package. For example, custom setup profiles allow users
to store and retrieve as many as four different menus of printer setup values.
This means users can switch instantly from one application to another, thereby
improving user productivity and eliminating adjustment errors.
Maximum
Flexibility
In addition, the IBM 4230 prints a wide range
of applications by offering four print speeds and quality modes. The fast
draft quality provides high speed for large print jobs. The near letter
quality (NLQ) mode provides clean, crisp correspondence for word processing
applications. Full all-points-addressable graphics capability exists for
applications such as bar codes, bar charts and pie charts, scanned logos,
forms designs and CAD/CAM drawings.
Quiet
Printing Where You Need It
At only 53 dBA, the IBM 4230 is quieter than
many laser printers, making it suitable for virtually any business environment.
And with its small footprint, the IBM 4230 can be placed wherever a need
for printing exists. The printer offers either a coaxial, twinaxial, coaxial/ASCII
or twinaxial/ASCII attachment, maximizing flexibility while providing a
wide range of printer placement options. The IBM 4230 is well-suited to
serve as either a high-speed office printer; a heavy-duty primary printer
for small systems and LAN installations; or a workstation printer for larger
systems and LANs.
Versatile
Forms Handling
The ability to use cut-sheet paper allows
full advantage of NLQ printing on letter- head paper for business correspondence
applications. The automatic forms- thickness adjustment feature saves users
from having to manually adjust the printhead gap and ensures consistent,
high-quality forms printing and improved printhead reliability.
Additionally, interchangeable paper feed modules
permit the IBM 4230 printer to be easily adapted to a variety of different
forms applications, including preprinted multi-part forms, labels, cardstock,
checks and mailer forms.
