Notes:

Proportional spacing on the coax or twinax attachment changes the characters per inch to approximately 11.5 cpi.

Proportional spacing on the parallel or serial port is a separate attribute and can be used at all cpi settings with each of the character styles listed above.

The above print quality levels and character styles will include all characters defined by the Resident Code Pages described above unless otherwise noted. Any quality level can be printed at either 6 or 8 lines per inch.

Limitations: The 4247-V03 has the following limitations:

Fast Draft print quality mode supports printing at 10 characters per inch only. DP, DP Text, and NLQ print quality modes support 10, 12, 15, 16.7, 17.1, and 20 characters per inch.

The front continuous-forms paper path will handle up to 8-part forms. Forms greater than 4-part should be tested for readability prior to use.

No automatic sheet feed feature is available.

The following ASCII restrictions apply when using IBM 4247 native escape commands to print barcode:

Current barcode applications that use barcode escape commands must be modified to use IBM 4247 native barcode commands.

Barcode printing is limited to picket orientation and 3 to 1 wide to narrow ratio when printed using native 4247 escape commands.

The 4247-V03 has the following additional limitations when emulating previous ASCII printers:

The following commands and functions are not supported when replacing or adding to an existing IBM 4224 (Model 301, 302, 3E3), 4230 (Model 4xx or 5xx), or 4232 Model 302:

The 4247-V03 does not support the following 4247-A00 operator panel settings:

Characters per inch (pitch) = 5, 6, 7.5, 8.5, proportional.

Lines per inch (lpi) = 12, 3L/30mm, 84L/30mm, 6L/30mm, 8L/30mm, 12L/mm.

Maximum page length for cut sheet forms = A5, A4, A3, LGL, LTR.

Parallel interface = 1284 nibble. (Note: Setting id is nonfunctional on A00.)

Data bits = 7.

Left margin alignment = 0 to 13.4 inches. (Model 003 left margin alignment is 0 to 1.875 inches.)

Top margin (top of form) = 0 to 660 lines. (Note: Paper load position range is -0.166 (-24/144) to 2 (+288/144) inches. To set top of form to larger values, the user must move form and press top-of-form key.)
