Printer Overview
This chapter provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions
used within this manual.
The InfoPrint 6500-D Printer Family
The InfoPrint 6500-D series consist of 300, 600, and 800 lines per minute
(lpm) models and are packaged in various configurations. All of the models
offer software versatility and the latest refinements in line matrix printing
technology. The print mechanisms are housed in sound-insulated cabinets
which make the printer family among the quietest printers in the world.
Additionally, your printer has a flexible architecture that allows you to add new
features and emulations as they become available.
LQ-1600K, KS, or KSSM will be the standard emulation. No matter what
emulation is installed, your printer is easy to use. The message display and
lights on the control panel communicate with you directly and clearly. You can
select every function on your printer at the control panel, or you can send
commands from the host computer.
The printer combines the use of Flash, RAM, and nonvolatile RAM for
program execution. The Flash is used for all program, font, and emulation
storage. New fonts, emulations, or program updates can be downloaded to
Flash memory via the parallel or serial interface, or through the Ethernet
interface. The RAM is used for buffers, print image storage, and execution
variables. The non-volatile RAM stores configuration, statistics, and internal
parameters.
