Page of GC20-1807-7 As Updated April 1, 1981 by TNL GN25-0829 IBM 3800 Pri nting Subsystem
The IBM3800 printinq Subsystem is a high-speed, nonimpact printer that
combines electrophotographic and laser technology. The3800 printer can
achieve speeds of up to20,040 lines/minute, while several unique
features give the user the ability to control the characteristics of
printed output.
The features of the3800 printer include: • Forms control buffer -controls the amount of vertical space between
printed lines. The user can specify vertical spacing of 6, 8, or 12
lines/inch.• Multiple copy printing -allows the user to request multiple copies
without the use of carbon paper. The3800 uses its hiqh speed to
repeat-print the specified number of oriqinals.• Copy modification -allows the user to print or suppress predefined
information on specified copies of a page. For example, a different
name and address can be printed on each copy of a page.• Forms overlay -allows
printed (flashed) from
inside the form.

Using the3800 Printer as a Dedicated Device VM/370 allows a virtual machine that is configured to support a real 3800 to attach the 3800 for that machine's exclusive use. When used as
a dedicated device,VM/370 supports all of the facilities of the 3800. 226 System Guide
