1. Maximum printing rate is the maximum number of pages of the indicated size and configuration that can be
printed at the constant speed of paper movement shown for each printer. Rates for pages of different sizes and
configuration can be calculated by dividing the form length into the printer speed. Actual printing rate will be less
if the printer cannot reach this rate due to complexity or density of the data or the ability of the system to deliver
data at this rate.
2. Maximum usage is based on operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, at maximum printing rate with normal
maintenance and operations activity. IBM does not recommend reaching this monthly maximum on consistent
basis.
Industrial Impact and Non-Impact Printers
IBM Printing Systems’ industrial impact and non-impact printers are cost-effective, rugged impact and
non-impact printers that print on a wide variety of media. Table 7 and Table 8 on page 10 lists the
characteristics for these printers.
