IBM 4317 Network Laser Printers
Environment: Fast, flexible printing for medium to large workgroups.
Highlights
Fast and crisp printing. 17 page-per-minute printing, 600 dot-per-inch resolution - Direct attachment to workstations, Local Area Networks (LANs) and IBM hosts
- Network-enabled with compatible PCL5e data stream support standard
- True network paper handling options
- Standard duplex capability for two-sided printing
- Compact and incredibly functional, the IBM® Network Printer 17 is the ideal workhorse for medium to large workgroups. Sophisticated paper handling (including a secure mailbox option), high throughput at up to

17 pages per minute and simultaneous support for LAN and host environments make this printer a top performer for demanding workgroups. - Shared environments
The Network Printer 17 supports PCL5e and optionally, Adobe® PostScript® Level 2, and IBM's traditional AFPTM/IPDSTM as well as SCS. Native support of these data streams allows for consolidation of multiple platform, application-specific printers to one Network Printer 17.
Supports all standard network interfaces. The bi-directional parallel interface is a standard feature, and two of the four additional attachment cards can be installed simultaneously. All of these are active and available for printing. The Network Printer 17 automatically switches among printer data streams, interfaces and networks.
Manage printers remotely. With the installation of IBM's Network Printer Manager (NPM) utility, systems administrators can install, configure, monitor and manage the Network Printer 17 easily from remote locations. The NPM utility was developed using the industry-standard SNMP printer MIB, ensuring future migration support and compatibility.
Flexible paper handling
The Network Printer 17 comes standard with two media input trays expandable to five, providing a maximum input capacity of 1,350 sheets plus 75 envelopes. It also comes standard with an internal duplex capability for two-sided printing. Because this feature is installed inside the printer, there is no increase in space requirements.
Sophisticated output handling options allow easy job separation in shared environments. These include a 500-sheet offset jogger that shifts the printed output between print jobs and a secure 10-bin mailbox. This output stacking option provides individual mailbox bins that are lockable with optional password access codes.
Superior performance
IBM's workhorse Network Printer 17 offers amazingly fast, 17-page-per-minute throughput due to its high-performance, RISC-based controller. The printer maintains top performance in network environments even while switching among multiple connections and data protocols.
