construction designed
specifically for the
IBM 4247-V03′s footprint,
weight, and printing action
(vibration)

•

Contains a separator guide to
ensure the separation of each
continuous form

Improved configurability and print throughput for the IBM 4247-003 Impact
Matrix Printer

Enhancements for the 4247-003 printer include:
•

Configuration flexibility to enable all interface cards to be user-installable
(Customer Setup) and switchable

•

In addition, the Coax IPDS adapter can now be field
installed to replace the following adapters:

Replacement, addition, and installation of attachment
cards for installed 4247-003 printers

The following table shows the allowable replacements and
additions of attachment cards for installed IBM 4247-003
Printers and the feature to order to replace or add an
adapter.
This table only applies to 4247-003 printers shipped after
August 26, 2003, with Internal Base Code Level 6.05 or
above. If Code 6.05 is required on a 4247-003 printer that
shipped with earlier code, an RPQ must be submitted.
A procedure to determine the level of code installed in a
printer is explained in the Supplementary information in
this letter.
For easy identification of boxed printers that have code
level 6.05 and higher, the printer part number printed on
the box label has been changed from 01PXXXX to
75PXXXX (where XXXX can be any number).
The
01PXXXX numbers were used on printers shipped prior to
6.05 code.
IBM 4247-V03 Printer Stand

All of these replacements and additions are easily
installed by customers, and do not require IBM Field
Engineering for installation.

The IBM 4247-V03 Printer Stand has three main sections:
•

A flat table surface to hold the printer

•

An input paper tray to hold forms before they are fed
through the printer

•

An output paper tray for stacking forms after they are
printed

The table is designed specifically to support the features
of the IBM 4247-V03, and since this stand accommodates
the footprint and weight of the 4247-V03, printer vibration
is minimized.

Bulk order for optional features

For most products, the quantity of any feature that can
be ordered is the same as the maximum number of the
feature allowed per machine. Since the IBM 4247-003
features are now all customer setup (for 4247 Model 003
with Licensed Internal Code Level 6.05 or higher), in
some cases it is desirable to bulk order certain features
so that machines can be easily reconfigured by Business
Partners and end users. Thus, for 4247-003 MES features,
the maximum order quantity is normally 10, which is
greater than the maximum that can be installed on one
printer.

When dual continuous forms are used, one form rests on
the input paper tray and the other form rests on the floor
underneath the input tray.
The printer stand is customer set-up and can be easily
assembled in about 30 minutes.
The original higher-priced enclosed cabinet style printer
stand (#4462) is still available.
Improved configurability for the IBM 4247-V03 Printer

A field-installable option to install Coax SCS (#4232) is
now available. Previously, Coax SCS was available as an
initial order feature only. This new feature is easily
installed by a customers, and can be used to field replace
the following adapters:

The maximum number of initial-order attachment features
that can be ordered is one. Use the MES feature numbers
for bulk orders.

The print speed of the IBM 4247-003 has been improved
slightly for models with internal base code level 6.05 and
higher. The improved code provides approximately a 5%
greater throughput performance.
