IBM 6400-050 Line Matrix Printer Speed 500 LPM

The IBM 6400 line matrix Cabinet printer attaches to a wide spectrum of IBM systems — from IBM mainframes/parallel servers to PCs. The new models offer the following:

A printspeed of up to 500/375/200 LPM in Draft, DP (Data Processing), and NLQ (Near Letter Quality) print modes respectively.
Support all features currently available on the 6400.
Offer a new internal Ethernet adapter not available on previous IBM 6400 models.
Can be easily managed remotely with the new Printer Management Utility program.
Printer throughput in lines per minute (LPM) is a factor of the selected font. Printing speed is independent of the number of characters configured in the character set repertoire. Print lines containing bold/emphasized (shadow) printing or elongated (double high) attributes will print at approximately one-half the rate shown above.

This model is an extremely versatile, cost-effective printer. It offers as standard the IBM
Proprinter III XL and Epson FX 1050 graphics emulations, as well as the Printronix P-Series, Printronix P-Series XQ Variant, and Printronix Serial Matrix emulations. This model can also be attached via ASCII, coax, twinax, Token Ring, or Ethernet to such diverse hosts as IBM S/390, AS/400, RS/6000, IBM PC and Netfinity servers, IBM-compatible PCs, non-IBM systems supporting the ASCII serial/parallel interface, and LANs.

The following optional features are offered:

IBM coax/twinax attachment to many IBM systems
Ethernet 10BaseT and 10Base2 Adapters
Multi-Platform Interface (MPI) coax/twinax attachment, enabling the 6400 to replace many non-IBM printers that are coax- or twinax-compatible, and attached to IBM systems
IBM Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) support for IBM coax or twinax attachments, providing compatibility with selected IPDS-capable printers

Complements the Existing IBM 6400 Family

The IBM 6400-050 joins the 6400 family in providing reliable impact line printers. The 6400 family has models with maximum print speeds from 500 to 1500 lpm, and with an array of features which can be used to customize the printer for use in many applications, and for many attachments. The breadth of the 6400 Printer Family offers common features across the range of printer speeds, and allows users to select an open pedestal design, when or if that model better meets their needs. This family approach allows customers to fill all line matrix printing requirements from one vendor.
