The IBM 4230 Printer family offers speed, reliability and durability that make it the right choice for the most demanding print environments and applications. With print speeds of up to 600 characters per second (cps), depending on model, and superb reliability, the IBM 4230 Printers out perform other impact printers.

Depending on model, the IBM 4230 Printers offer either a coaxial, twinaxial, coaxial/ASCII, or twinaxial/ASCII attachment. This flexibility provides a wide range of printer placement options.

The IBM 4230's compact size and low noise level make it well-suited to serve as either a high-speed office printer; a heavy-duty primary printer for small systems and LAN installations; or a workstation printer for larger systems and LANs.

Improved Productivity

The IBM 4230 Printer, with its auto-forms load, innovative forms handling features, and easy-to-use operator controls and menu selections, will improve productivity and virtually eliminate user frustration, paper jamming, and costly paper loss.

The IBM 4230 prints a wide range of applications by offering four print speeds and quality modes. The fast draft quality provides high speed for large print jobs. The near letter quality (NLQ) mode provides clean, crisp correspondence for word processing applications required in today's electronic office. Full all-points-addressable graphics capability exists for applications such as bar codes, bar charts and pie charts, scanned logos, forms designs, and CAD/CAM drawings.

User Benefits

The IBM 4230 Printer is a rugged, heavy-duty dot matrix impact printer that offers excellent price/performance. It brings the benefits and productivity features usually provided by higher-cost system printers down to the workstation environment. For example, custom setup profiles allow users to store and to retrieve as many as four different collections of printer setup values. This means users can switch instantly from one application to another and thereby improve user productivity and eliminate adjustment errors.

Printing Where You Need It

At only 53 dBA, the IBM 4230 is one of the quietest printers in its speed and price range - making it suitable for virtually any business environment. And with its small footprint, the IBM 4230 can be placed wherever a need for printing exists.

Versatile Forms Handling

The ability to use cutsheet paper allows full advantage of NLQ printing on letter-head paper for business correspondence applications. The automatic forms-thickness adjustment feature saves users from having to manually adjust the printhead gap and ensures consistent, high-quality forms printing and improved printhead reliability.

Additionally, interchangeable paper feed modules permit the IBM 4230 printer to be easily adapted to a variety of different forms applications including preprinted multi-part forms, labels, cardstock, checks, and mailer forms to name a few.
