IBM 4247 Model V03 Printer Offers Durability and
Fast Draft Print Speed for Demanding Applications
Support for a Range of Connectivity
Options and Hardware Environments

Overview
A Fast and Reliable Printer for Harsh
Conditions

The IBM 4247 Model V03 is a
professional industrial impact matrix
printer capable of printing at speeds
of up to 1,100 characters per second
(cps) in Fast Draft mode.
The Model V03 is a rugged printer
with metal covers, and is designed
for harsh environments and
demanding applications. It is
compatible with previous IBM 4247
models and offers user-installable
interface cards.
The Model V03 can have either one
or two straight continuous-forms
paper paths for outstanding
paper-feeding reliability. One paper
path is standard, and the second
path is an optional feature.
The printer features quiet operation,
a full-size operator panel similar to
today′s Model 003, and a workload
of up to 64,000 pages per month.
Print-quality choices are Fast Draft
mode, Data Processing mode (DP),
DP Text mode (DP Text), and Near
Letter Quality mode (NLQ). Versatile
paper-handling capability provides
printing on up to 8-part forms.
Typical applications include
transaction processing for invoices,
office or internal business
documents, as well as barcodes,
labels, and multipart forms.

A parallel port for simplified host
attachment capability is standard.
Optional attachments include:
•

Ethernet local area network (LAN)
attachment through the internal
10/100BASE-T Ethernet adapter
or through Network Print Servers
for 10BASE2 Ethernet

Operator Panel

Description
The IBM 4247 Model V03 Printer builds on the strengths
of previous models of the IBM 4247 family while providing
a new Fast Draft mode with a faster print speed.

The 4247-V03 includes the same full-function, full-size
operator panel as today′s Model 003. It includes a 2 line
by 40 character display, making messages and menus
easy to understand.

Print Speed

Printer Data-Stream Emulations

Print speeds (in characters per second) of the 4247-V03
are up to:

Emulation modes to easily replace many older printers
include:

•

1,100 cps at 10 characters per inch (cpi) in Fast Draft
mode

•

ASCII emulation for the IBM Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381
Personal Printer, and Epson FX printers

•

800 cps in DP mode

•

•

480 cps in DP Text mode

Coax emulations for the IBM 3268, IBM 3287, IBM 4224,
and IBM 4230

•

240 cps in NLQ mode

•

Twinax emulations for the IBM 4214, IBM 4224, and
IBM 4230

The print speeds in lines per minute are up to:
•
•

In addition, native IBM 4247 mode is selectable with each
attachment.

500 lines per minute at 40 characters per line
300 lines per minute at 132 characters per line

Parallel Attachment
Heavy-Duty, Reliable Printing
The IBM 4247 Model V03 base printer includes a parallel
port as standard. For the parallel port:

The 4247-V03 is a professional industrial heavy-duty
printer with metal covers and a workload capacity of up
to 64,000 pages per month. The 18-wire print head
provides reliable printing on up to 8-part forms in DP, DP
Text, and NLQ print modes.

•

Printers emulated are Proprinter III XL, IBM 2381
Personal Printer, and Epson FX80 — 1170.

•

Data streams supported are PPDS and Epson FX.

Flexible Forms Handling

Optional Twinax and Coax SCS Attachment
Features

The IBM 4247 Printer provides exceptional forms-handling
flexibility.
The
base
printer
includes
one
continuous-forms
tractor
path,
and
a
second
continuous-forms front tractor paper path is optional. No
rear tractor path is available.

The optional Coax SCS Attachment:

This dual front paper path capability can translate into a
single printer performing work that formerly required two
or more printers. Users can load different forms into each
tractor path and then enable the path that corresponds to
the desired print job.

•

Emulates the IBM 3268/3287, IBM 4224, and IBM 4230
as well as providing native support for the IBM 4247

•

Supports 3270/DSC/DSE and SCS data streams

The optional Twinax SCS Attachment:
•
•

Print Quality Comparison

Emulates the IBM 4214 and IBM 4230
Supports the PDS data stream

Each attachment also supports native IBM 4247 mode.

Fast Draft is a new print quality for the IBM 4247 that is
available only on the Model V03. The Data Processing
(DP), Data Processing Text (DP Text), Near Letter Quality
(NLQ), OCR-A, and OCR-B print qualities on the 4247-V03
are equivalent in character size, shape, and resolution to
the print qualities available on the 4247 Model A00, 001,
002, and 003 printers.

Optional Twinax and Coax IPDS Attachment
Features
With the Coax IPDS Attachment (#4240, #4242) and
Twinax IPDS Attachment (#4220, #4222), the 4247-V03 can
be driven by Advanced Function Presentation (AFP )
applications supported by Print Services Facility  (PSF)
and GDDM .

Direct LAN attachment to Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LANs is
provided via the Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LAN Attachment
features (#4260, #4262).
The Ethernet 10/100BASE-T LAN Attachment features use
both the parallel port and the optional attachment port of
the printer. Therefore, when using these attachments, the
4247-V03 supports only Ethernet 10/100BASE-T. IPDS
support is not provided by these Ethernet LAN features.
For IPDS Ethernet, the Ethernet IPDS RPQ 8B4314 must
be used.

1

Optional Network Print Server and IPDS LAN
Attachment Capability

“Any Attachment” is Twinax IPDS, Twinax SCS, Coax SCS,
Coax IPDS, Serial, or Ethernet LAN, and includes “no
attachment,” which is the standard parallel adapter.

Other LAN attachment capability is available via:
•

The Network Print Server features (#4121, #4124,
#4164, #4165) provide network attachment via the
parallel port for Token-Ring and Ethernet.
The
Network Print Servers plug into the printer parallel
port.

•

The I-Data 7913 (RPQ numbers 8B4313 and 8B4314)
provides either Token-Ring or Ethernet LAN
attachment for IPDS data for twinax and coax printers.

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-V03
features are all customer-installable, 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-V03 MES features, the maximum
order quantity is normally 10, which is greater than the
maximum that can be installed on one printer.

RPQ 8B4313 provides either 4 or 16 MBps Token-Ring
IPDS support. RPQ 8B4314 provides Ethernet IPDS
support.

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

The Network Print Server features plug into the
parallel port of the printer to provide support for the
following environments:
−
−
−
−

IBM 4247-V03 Delivery Dates

Novell NetWare
IBM LAN Server
AIX
Other TCP/IP networks

It is expected that the demand for the Model V03 will
exceed the available supply during fourth quarter 2002.
Orders will be fulfilled sequentially based on order date.

The Network Print Server and the above RPQs provide
the capability for both LAN support and twinax, coax,
or serial support on the same IBM 4247 Printer.

Product Positioning
The IBM 4247-V03 is a professional industrial printer that
offers a faster print speed and a more rugged design than
the current IBM 4247 models of serial matrix printers.

While a Network Print Server and one of the I-Data 7913
RPQs (either RPQ 8B4313 or 8B4314) can both be installed
on the same 4247-V03, only one of either the Network
Print Server or the I-Data 7913 RPQ network attachments
can be active at any time. Manual network switching
between the ASCII (Network Print Server) and IPDS
(I-Data RPQ) is required to switch between the
attachments.

Statement of General Direction
All statements regarding IBM′s plans, directions, and
intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice.

Host selection of the print quality is limited to three of the four qualities (Fast Draft, DP, and NLQ). The host selection of Fast Draft
and DP is dependent on the printer operator panel setting of the “Host Fast Draft enable/disable” switch. Fast Draft and DP are
mutually exclusive in that only one can be active at a time.
