Flexible Forms Handling:
The IBM 4247 Printer provides exceptional forms handling flexibility with one continuous form tractor
path and manual cutsheet being standard. Another continuous forms tractor may be added to provide
two continuous forms paper paths. The second path may be used by simply tearing off and parking
the paper from the first path. Another forms handling option allows for up to 3 bins of cutsheet paper
in an automatic sheet feed (ASF).
For customers, this remarkable forms handling flexibility can translate into a single printer performing
work which formerly required two printers or more. Customers can load different forms into each
tractor path and then enable the path which corresponds to the desired print job. Alternatively, the
tractor paths can be parked to allow the use of the ASF or manual cut sheet functions.
Model Description 4247-A00
The Model A00 is a 700 characters per second, heavy-duty serial matrix printer.
The IBM 4247 Model A00 Serial Matrix Printer provides a high function, heavy-duty solution to impact
printer applications requiring speed and flexible forms handling features. The IBM 4247 Printer is
capable of printing at 700 characters per second (CPS) in data processing (DP) print quality. The IBM
4247 offers exceptional forms handling flexibility with standard co-resident push tractor and manual

cut sheet paper paths as well as an optional second tractor path and a three-input bin Auto Sheet
Feed (ASF) device. The IBM 4247-A00 Printer offers outstanding serial and parallel connectivity with
automatic interface switching, native drivers, and support for popular emulations: IBM 2381, IBM
4202 Proprinter III XL, and Epson FX (FX 80 through FX 1050, DFX-5000 and DFX-8000).
Back to top
The IBM 4247-A00 Printer fulfills the requirements of a dedicated, highly reliable continuous forms
impact printer in grand fashion. In fact, in multi-part form applications the 4247 handles up to 8-part
forms. The ability to add and configure the optional dual tractor paths into a 4 tractor (push/pull)
combination, providing a straight tractor path for stiff or heavy forms, gives customers the most
reliable forms feeding. In addition, the optional Automatic Sheet Feeder (ASF) provides up to three
input bins each with a capacity of 120 sheets for cut sheet. The first bin of the ASF will also handle
envelopes.
With automatic attachment switching between the parallel and serial port and the ability to switch
between tractor paths manually or via software commands (with dual tractor configuration),
customers can load each of the tractor paths with a different form type and alternately send a job to
either one. As compared to existing IBM serial matrix printers, the IBM 4247 provides advantages and
additional solutions with respect to print speed, duty cycle, forms handling, and datastream support.
The new IBM 4247 is a complementary product to the existing IBM 4232-302. Choose the IBM 4232
when the primary focus is price or IBM 4224/4230 compatibility. However, if the primary focus is
paper handling or performance, you should choose the IBM 4247.
