Description
The Infoprint 1372 printer supports a robust line of networking options that includes Fast Ethernet, Token-Ring, Twinax, and Coax. All models have a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port standard for local connections and optional parallel, and serial connections are available. The base model additionally comes with parallel standard. In terms of datastreams, the capability to integrate PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulation, Page Printer Data Stream (PPDS), and PDF v1.2 and v1.3 come standard; Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) is optional.
The Infoprint 1372 is a monochrome printer that supports up to A4/Letter-size media at up to 45 pages per minute (PPM).
The printer comes in base models, and network models.
- Base Models:
The base models come standard with 64 MB of memory, a 100-sheet auxiliary tray, and one 500-sheet drawer. Standard input capacity is 600 sheets and standard output capacity is 500 sheets. Model 001 is the low-voltage model and 002 is the high-voltage model.
- Network Models:
The network models come standard with 80 MB of memory, a 100-sheet auxiliary tray, one 500-sheet drawer, and 10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet card. Standard input capacity is 600 sheets and standard output capacity is 500 sheets. Model N01 is the low-voltage model and N02 is the high-voltage model.
All models have a maximum input capacity of 4,100 sheets and a maximum output capacity of 3,000 sheets.
The Infoprint 1372 has special models for the U.S. government. Model 004 is the base low-voltage model and 005 is the base high-voltage model. Model N04 is the network low-voltage model and N05 is the network high-voltage model.
High Performance Controller
The Infoprint 1372 controller comes with a 500 MHz processor. It comes with PostScript 3 and PCL 6 emulation, PDF v1.2 and v1.3 as standard data streams and a PPDS migration tool.
- Memory:
The controller has two slots for memory DIMMs, two slots for flash memory cards or application solution cards, and two slots for internal network adapters, local adapters or hard drives.
The base models come with 64 MB of memory soldered onboard and can support a maximum of 320 MB of memory with two 128 MB DIMMs installed. The network models come with 80 MB of memory soldered onboard and can support a maximum of 336 MB of memory with two 128 MB DIMMs installed. A 20+ GB hard disk with adapter feature is available.
Flash memory up to 32 MB is supported using the flash memory cards. Flash memory cards can be installed in either option card slot, but the controller supports only one flash memory card.
- Printer System Attachment Interfaces:
The base models come with an IEEE 1284 Parallel interface with a type B connector and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface as standard.The network models come with a USB interface, and a 10/100BaseTX Fast Ethernet interface as standard. They do not have a Parallel interface. The standard Fast Ethernet interface does not take up the network adapter slot. Wireless Ethernet is supported through the wired Ethernet on either the base models with the Ethernet option installed or the network models.

Additional Media Guidelines
Follow the media guidelines below for successful printing:
Paper
- Rough, highly textured, limp, or pre-curled papers will result in lower print quality and more frequent paper feed failures.
- Colored papers must be able to withstand 190 deg C (400 deg F) fusing temperature.
- Preprinted forms and letterheads should be selected using guidelines found in the printer User's Guide. The chemical process used in preprinting may render some papers unsuitable for use with the Infoprint 1372.
- Unsuitable papers include multipart forms and documents; chemically treated papers; coated, synthetic and thermal papers; and preprinted papers requiring a high degree of registration.
- Recycled paper less than 80g/sqm may cause unacceptable results.
Envelopes
- All envelopes should be new, unused, and without package damage.
- Envelopes with excessive curl or twist exceeding 6 mm, those stuck together, those with bent corners or nicked edges, or those that interlock should not be used.
- Minimum weight: 75 g/m2 (20 lb.)
- The following envelopes should not be used:
- Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or deep embossing.
- Envelopes with metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
- Envelopes with exposed flap adhesive when the flap is in the closed position.
- For best results, printing on new 90 g/m2 (24 lb.) sulfite or 25% cotton bond envelopes is recommended.
- Under high humidity conditions (over 60%), envelopes may seal during printing.
Transparencies
- Use letter or A4-size sheets only.
- Transparencies specifically designed for xerographic copy machines or laser printers may be used with the Infoprint 1372.
Labels
Labels should be selected using guidelines found in the User's Reference, Complete Printer Reference, and tested for acceptability. VINYL AND POLYESTER LABELS ARE NOT SUPPORTED.
Printer Stand Recommendations
- To minimize the possibility of tipping when the printer is configured with three or more paper drawers, the use of a printer stand is recommended.
- Under no circumstances should the bottom of the base printer or the bottom of the duplex unit, if installed, be higher than 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) above the printer stand side shelves.

Management Solutions (MarkVision**)
MarkVision Professional, MarkVision Messenger, NetPnP and Software Installation and Distribution tools are provided on Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CDs.
MarkVision Professional
MarkVision Professional is a cross-platform print management solution that enables IT administrators to proactively monitor and manage network devises in an enterprise environment via a Web browser. It provides IT administrators with realtime device status and information, centralized device setup, remote printer monitoring and management, and asset management capabilities.
MarkVision Messenger
MarkVision Messenger provides real-time notification of printer conditions via e-mail, paging, or other applications and facilitates automated responses to these conditions before they become critical and disruptive to user productivity. MarkVision Messenger enhances administrators' quality for service and improves end-user productivity and satisfaction.
NetPnP (Provided on CD)
NetPnP senses when a new IBM printer is attached to the network and automatically creates a shared printer object on the Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 system. Furthermore, NetPnP notifies end-users via e-mail that the network printer is available for printing. Designed for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 environments, Net PnP makes the Infoprint 1372 printers available to end-users within seconds of network attachment.
Software Installation and Distribution Tools (Provided on CD)
In Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 environments, these tools enable administrators to push printer software installation to other Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstations or to write a script that will install specified printer software on specified Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstations on the network. In Windows 9X environments, it enables administrators to write installation scripts that can then be distributed to other workstations. When executed, these scripts will silently install all specified IBM software.
Solaris Ready for Sun Customers
These printers are certified Solaris Ready by Sun and include Infoprint 1372 Enhanced Printer Drivers for Sun Systems and Sun specific documentation seamless installation and use in Sun Solaris environments. The IBM network printers are Ethernet-ready for use in Sun networks.
The IBM printers with USB interfaces are certified for USB attachment to Sun Blade workstations and Sun Ray appliances. MarkVision Professional is available from the IBM Web site.
