Highlights
High throughput--24 pages per minute printing 600 dots per inch
resolution using TrueRes image enhancement technology
"Total connectivity"-direct attachment to workstations, Local
Area Networks (LANs), and traditional IBM hosts
Network enabled with compatible PCL5e data stream support
standard. PostScript level 2 by Adobe (standard on 24PS model),
IBM AFP/IPDS, and SNA (SCS) data stream support are optional
Extremely fast, high volume printing with large input media
capacities and optional high-capacity output finisher
IBM's top of the line workgroup printer offers incredibly fast
24 pages per minute throughput for high-volume document
environments. The IBM Network Printer 24 provides up to 3100
sheets of input capacity. It supports letter/A4, legal, and
ledger/A3 sized media plus duplex and finishing options.
Simultaneous network and host connections, combined with
auto-port and data stream sensing make this the printer of
choice for large workgroups.
Shared Environments
Today's environments require support of multiple printer data
streams. The Network Printer 24 supports PCL**5e and,
optionally, PostScript** Level 2, and IBM's traditional AFP/IPDS
as well as SCS. The Network Printer 24PS is PostScript ready.
This model comes standard with Adobe PostScript and 12 MB of
memory. Native support of all these data streams allows for
consolidation of multiple platform/application-specific printers
to one Network Printer 24.
Connectivity requirements are changing as well. The Network
Printer 24 supports bi-directional parallel,Ethernet,
Token-Ring, Coaxial, and Twinaxial interfaces.
The bi-directional parallel interface comes standard, and two of
the four optional attachment cards can be simultaneously
installed. The Network Printer 24 automatically switches among
printer data streams, interfaces, and networks.
With the installation of IBM's Network Printer Manager (NPM)
utility, system administrators can easily install, configure,
monitor, and manage the Network Printer 24 from remote
locations. The NPM utility has been developed using the industry
standard SNMP Printer MIB ensuring future migration support and
compatibility.

Replacement
Product Information: There are two replacement solutions for the
Network Printer 24 & 24PS. These include the IBM 3130 and IBM
InfoPrint (TM) 20. Both models handle A3 format paper and have
paper input capacities comparable to the Network Printer 24 &
24PS.
The 3130 is a
higher speed (30 pages per minute), higher duty cycle (200,000
impressions) and a higher priced printer than the NP 24 & 24PS.
The 3130 comes in two models: Model 02D that has duplex
capability and Model 03S that is simplex only but can be
upgraded to the Model 02D. Both models come in low voltage
(100/115V, 50/60 Hz) and high voltage (220/230/240V, 50 Hz)
versions. The 3130 has a PostScript feature available.
The other
replacement option, the InfoPrint 20, is a slightly lower speed
printer (20 pages per minute), slightly lower duty cycle (75,000
impressions) but priced lower than the NP 24 & 24PS. The
InfoPrint 20 does not support a stacker/stapler feature like the
Network Printer 24 & 24PS does. The InfoPrint 20 has 3 models:
Model 001 (120V), Model 002 (220V) and Model 3 (100V-Japan).
