The IBM Infoprint Color 1534 offers
superior color images and business
graphics with 4800 “Color Quality”
capability. The printer uses it’s default
1200 X 600 dpi resolution and 4 bits per
dot (pel) to create a simulated 4800 dpi
image. Two of the four bits are used to
adjust dot size. The other two bits are
used to adjust dot shape. The com-
bined technology of 4800 Color Quality
and advanced toner formulas yields
smooth color transitions, crisp text and
sharp images for your office documents
and professional marketing materials.
This powerful laser printer provides
versatile, cost-effective support that is
an excellent alternative to inkjet printing.
Low device cost, high-end user productivity
Many businesses discover that the
purchase of personal, inkjet printers
and supplies for those printers is
generally not visible in the budgeting
process. As a result, you may have
several of these devices that may not
provide the speed or function that is
required by today’s small and medium
workgroups.
The sharable Infoprint Color 1534
uses a 500 MHz processor to deliver
fast first-page-out times (as fast as
13 seconds1) and fast throughput of
large color jobs to help increase
user productivity.
Easy to use
The exceptionally easy-to-use, intui-
tive operator panel offers bold icons,
an all-points-addressable display,
“show me” graphics and text, and
“tell me more” selections. With
standard ImageQuick TM
function, you
can store forms or critical documents
on a Web site or central server and
print them on demand at the printer.
One push of a button cancels jobs.
Load paper and other supplies from
the front of the printer — it’s all right
in front of you.
Impressive print quality
Automatic calibration and registration
helps provide superior print quality
and consistent color output. In addition,
you can optimize color quality by
using color brightness, contrast and
saturation adjustments. With the toner
saver, color print permissions and
coverage estimator features, you can
manage color output costs.

control of your color output by limiting
access to color printing by user or by
specified times that the device can
be accessed. PIN-based printing can
increase confidentiality for individuals
who print sensitive output. Data encryp-
tion helps protect documents that are
stored on the optional hard disk. Secure
transmission protocols provide another
layer of security.
Simplified connectivity
With wireless connectivity, you can
adapt easily to existing infrastructures
and place printers at the point of need
without waiting for IT to reconfigure or
install new cables. You can also help
reduce installation costs by avoiding
the expense of new Ethernet cabling.
High reliability
Day-to-day maintenance on desktop
printers is generally performed by the
end users. The Infoprint Color 1534
makes it easy for them to load paper,
to replace toner cartridges, and to use
the operator panel for printer status
and to simplify problem resolution. With
improved error codes and better data
reporting, the printer can be available
more often when you need it.
