Description
•
The IBM 4400 is a family of compact, rugged industrial
thermal printers with nominal print widths of six or eight
inches. The Models offer print resolution of 203 dots per
inch (dpi) or 300 dpi, and maximum print speeds up to 10
inches per second (ips).
IBM
ribbons
are
Direct Thermal
During direct thermal printing, the thermal printhead
also selectively heats printhead elements. When these
elements contact the coated thermal paper, the dyes
and developers in the coating react to the heat and
develop an image. This mode of printing is generally
used for short-term labeling applications.
The primary applications are for the production of bar
codes and graphics on labels and tags in an industrial
environment.
Bar Code Printing
Since the maximum noise level for the IBM 4400 was
designed for an industrial environment, this printer is
normally not suitable for office environments.
Printed bar codes meet the requirements of ANSI
Document X3.182-1990, Bar Code Print Quality —
Guideline Grade A .
The following features are standard on all models:
Printer Software
•
Thermal transfer and Direct thermal printing
•
User-replaceable interchangeable 203 dpi and 300 dpi
print heads
•
Windows Drivers
Print drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98 are
included with the printer. The drivers are based on
Serial Matrix emulation.
•
Operator Control panel with two-line LCD with an
easy-to-use menu
•
Media tear bar
•
•
Fanfold media handling
Supplies
•
High resolution printhead for sharp graphics and text
•
Ribbons
•
Peel-off mode for peeling off labels one at a time,
before printing the next label
•
Printheads
•
Tear-off mode for positioning the label at the tear-off
position and detecting its removal before printing the
next label
•
Label Taken Sensor for detecting removal of labels in
Peel-off or Tear-off modes
•
•
Tear-off Strip mode for printing a specified number of
labels and positioning the last label at the tear-off
position
The above items are considered supplies and, as such,
are not available from IBM service or included in the
warranty and maintenance service agreement.
•
Batch and on-demand printing
Thermal Consumables Selection
•
Over 20 types of bar codes
•
4 MB Flash memory/ 8 MB DRAM memory
Since there are two print modes of operation, there are
two kinds of thermal media. These are:
•
Serial RS-232/RS-422 host interface
•
•
Parallel IEEE 1284 host interface
•
One internal I/O option slot
•
Host interface auto-switching
•
Emulations for IGP, Code V, and ASCII
•
Windows drivers
•
Compatibility with IBM Printer Management Utility
(PMU) Software
•
Starter kit that includes print media, a ribbon, and a
CD. The starter kit CD contains the End-User manuals
The printhead must be replaced periodically, and new
printheads are obtained as a supply item. The 300 dpi
printhead may be ordered to upgrade a 203 dpi
machine to 300 dpi.
•
Thermal transfer media
Direct thermal media
Direct thermal media is paper coated with special
chemicals that act as an accelerator, acceptor dye and
binder. During direct thermal mode, the heat from the
thermal printhead contacts the paper and causes a
chemical reaction to take place.
The following is a summary of optional features:
•
Coax/Twinax interface (#4830, #4835)
The Coax/Twinax attachment provides the addition of
both a coax and a twinax interface, in addition to the
ASCII Serial/Parallel interface. This provides support
for ASCII, IGP, Code V, and Coax/Twinax emulations.
With excellent print quality, the IBM 4400 printers use an
inline thermal printhead that allows two modes of
operation. These modes are:
•
Thermal Transfer
Ethernet 10/100BaseT Network Interface Card (NIC)
The Ethernet 10/100BaseT NIC Adapter is available for
new IBM 4400 printers, and for upgrades of existing
IBM 4400 Models 006 and 008 printers.
During thermal transfer printing, the heated thermal
printhead selectively heats elements in the printhead.
When the heated elements contact a thermal ribbon,
the heat reacts with the ribbon and bonds the image
to the paper. This method is used for abrasive,
100-161
Cleaning Pens
Ribbons are available from IBM. Refer to the supplies
section for information.
Thermal Printer Technology
•
Printer Management Utility (PMU) Software
The Ethernet 10/100BaseT NIC is an internal adapter
that connects the printer to an Ethernet network using
-2-
TCP/IP, NetBIOS TCP/IP, and IPX. The ASCII parallel
interface is replaced by this Ethernet Network Interface
Card (NIC).
EuroReady Solutions
IBM considers a solution to be EuroReady when the
solution providers have:
The adapter provides the capability to provide printer
status information via a Web page when the printer′s
IP address is supplied to a standard Web browser.
This is in addition to the function provided by the 4400
Printer Management Utility.
•
•
Analyzed the euro requirements, including the need to
comply with relevant EC rules
•
Built in appropriate function
and can clearly demonstrate this by:
Additional Memory
This feature increases the DRAM and Flash memory
from 4 MB Flash and 8 MB DRAM to a total of 10 MB
Flash memory and 16 MB DRAM memory to support
printing of label media lengths up to a maximum of 99
inches.
•
Feature number 3501 — 300 dpi Printhead (6-inch
Printhead for Model 006) — Initial Order
•
Feature number 3502 — 300 dpi Printhead (8-inch
Printhead for Model 008) — Initial Order
•
Detailing euro related requirements
•
Describing how these will be implemented in the
solution
•
Declaring when the implementation will be generally
available
The euro capabilities of a EuroReady solution will be
clearly identified as features of the Solution specification
as described in the contracts document.
Statement of General Direction
This feature provides a 300 dpi printhead. A 203 dpi
printhead is provided on initial orders if feature
number 3501 or feature number 3502 is not ordered.
IBM plans to enhance the IBM 4400 Thermal Label
printers by:
Resident Fonts

Offering a new model with a nominal 4-inch print width
The following fonts are resident:
•
•
•
•
•
Adding IPDS support as an option for the Models 006
and 008, as well as the 4 inch model.
While this represents IBM′s current plans, IBM reserves
the right to change or modify this plan at any time.

Performance Characteristics
The performance characteristics are shown in the table
below. The print speed is selectable from either the
control panel or the host system, and ranges from 2 ips
to the maximum speed of the printer in 1 ips increments.
Print Length
The print lengths are a function of the DRAM memory
supplied with the printer. The maximum label length
is increased by the installation of the expansion
memory (#5600 or #5601).
Media Handling Modes
The printer operates under two basic modes: batch and
on-demand. Batch mode is used to print and collect
labels for later use.
On-demand mode is used in
applications where labels will be used immediately after
printing.
•
Batch Mode
In batch mode the printer unwinds the media from the
media supply spindle and prints the labels.

In tear-off strip mode, the printer unwinds the media
from the supply spindle and continues printing until the
print buffer is empty. The printer then positions the
last label for removal by aligning the tear point over
the tear-off bar. The label presentation sensor can be
used in the tear-off strip mode to detect when a label
has been removed. When the printer buffer is again
loaded, the printer will retract the media before
resuming printing to prevent the loss of a form.
