IBM 6400 Line Matrix Printers
The dependable IBM 6400 line matrix printer family is
designed for heavy-duty, continuous use in both system and
network environments. Extensive datastream support (SCS,
IPDS, ASCII, Code V, IGP) ensures application compatibility.
Speeds range from a low-cost 500 line-per-minute pedestal
model to models supporting print speeds up to 1,500 lines
per minute (1125 lpm in data processing mode and 600 lpm
in near-letter-quality mode). The new, integrated Ethernet
IPDS enables the IBM 6400 to be placed in an IP network,
yet retain all the application function and print management
control of a direct-attached iSeries printer.
The 6400 family of line matrix printers provides heavy-duty,
continuous-form impact line printing with low total cost of
operation. A variety of emulations, options, and speeds
address just about any print requirements. IPDS is available
(as well as IGP and Code V) to support graphical print applications (for example, barcoding or
image).
There are five models of the 6400 family as shown in this table.
Connection options include direct attachment to the system using twinax or serial/parallel
cabling, ASCII LAN attachment using the Network Print Server (NPS) feature or integrated
Ethernet feature, or IPDS LAN attachment using the 7913 LAN attachment.
