IBM Info Print 1222 Laser Printer
Chip (FLASH memory) support for the IP 1222 is only required when the printer
will be connected by the network port using the cable that looks like a telephone
cord. If the printer is connected by the fat parallel cable with the wire
latches, even if it is available over the network, this printer is best supported
by the SmartBOX.
Flash memory is installed inside the printer. Please ensure that the
printer is powered off and unplugged before opening the cover. Place the
extra stickers on the outside of the printer to remind anyone who needs to
replace the printer that there is a chip inside that should be removed. If
the printer is sent for service it is very unlikely that any chip in the
printer can be recovered. Also the sticker that is actually on the chip should
NOT be removed so that in a case where there are two chips installed, it
will be easier to identify and remove the correct one.
Please do NOT do this if you want to print your
registrations on plain white paper, or if you want to manually load the
Registration Keypacket stock, on demand, from the front (pull down)
tray.
This is only for the large, legal
sized, Registration Keypacket users who will load BOTH plain paper and
keypacket stock into the printer at the same time and want the system to
automatically select the correct stock for the item being printed:
If you do setup the 1222 for the keypacket and later decide not to load
keypackets into the lower tray, or if you are a Homewood Suites transitioning
to the new small registration keypacket, you will need to reset the
printer to factory defaults (the 10 numbered steps below) and then NOT run
the Reg/Key tray setting program. |
Since this printer has no front panel menus, and no paper size sensors in
the main (lower) tray, there is no easy way to tell it that it has the larger
stock in the lower tray. A file has been provided to us by the manufacturer
that will reset the printer as needed if you can copy it out to the printer
from the workstation that it is connected to. We have converted that into
a little program that sends the settings out to the printer for you:
With luck, your printer will not have to be factory reset before the tray
setup program will work and you will be finished in just a few steps. If
this doesn't work the first time, just continue on with the rest of the steps
in this list.
-
First, click here to activate the Reg/Key
tray setting program
-
When asked, tell the computer to open the file (no need to save it)
-
Next, tell the computer to "install" or run this from it's current
location.
-
A black window with white letters will appear and ask you to Click
any key to continue
-
The program will run and you will be returned to the instruction screen.
-
A configuration page should print. Verify that the following
settings have changed in the PAPER MENU section:
-
Paper Source should be MP Feeder (near the top left of the
page)
-
Configure MP should be Cassette (just above the PAPER TEXTURE
subsection, about 4 inches down on the left)
If these settings are not correct... Well, you need to continue on
here and do the printer reset sequence. If it is correct skip to the next
section.

-
Next, tell the computer to "install" or run this from it's current
location.
-
A black window with white letters will appear and ask you to Click
any key to continue
-
The program will run and you will be returned to the instruction screen.
-
A configuration page should print. Verify that the following
settings have changed in the PAPER MENU section:
-
Paper Source should be MP Feeder
-
Configure MP (last item in the PAPER MENU) should be Cassette
If these settings are not correct... Well, you just have to try again. Please
try not to loose patience and simply start over at the printer reset
sequence.
Please do NOT do this unless you have purchased
the optional, second, lower paper tray. |
Optional Tray
If you have purchased a second tray, you can now click here to activate
the optional tray setting program This will
allow you to move the plain white paper from the multipurpose feeder to the
new tray. The key packet stock must still be loaded in the first tray, but
you can close the multipurpose feeder since the plain paper will be in the
optional tray.
Please do NOT do this until the PAPER MENU options
are correct. |
Load the keypacket stock:
-
Remove the lower tray from the printer.
-
Empty any paper out of the tray
-
Squeeze the "wavey" tab at the back of the tray and pull the tray
stop ("Length guide") out as far as it will go. Make sure you can see
"Legal" through the hole in the slide.
-
Load the keypacket stock face down with the registration slip towards
the front of the tray.
A very common cause of jamming is a rear stop that is set too tight against
the stock. Press the stock all the way down in the tray so that the
spring locks down, then adjust the rear stop to just touch the paper.
Note that the tray may now extend 2 inches beyond the rear of the printer.
Check for anything that may jam against the rear stop.
-
Pull
down the "Manual Feed" tray at the front of the printer below the toner
door and above the lower tray. Extend the paper support and load
it with plain letter paper.
Note: The supports on this tray are delicate and easy to break. Please
try to push the printer back as far as possible so that people will not walk
into the tray as they move around behind the desk. IBM is now providing a
metal tray support. This support reinforces the tray to help prevent damage
if the tray is hit from above. This support does NOT re-inforce the tray
against being hit from the side. If you have not recieved this metal support
and are interested, please contact IBM via your help desk.
