Refurbished: IBM 6400-050, Line Matrix Printer 500 LPM, 6400-050, 6400-050 IBM
The IBM 6400 Model 050 has a print speed of up to 500/375/200 LPM in Draft, DP (Data Processing), and NLQ (Near Letter Quality) print modes, respectively. This model is a cabinet design.
The IBM 6400 Models 050, P50 are feature-rich impact printers designed to complement the current IBM 6400 line printer offerings. These models:
These models are extremely versatile, cost-effective printers. They offer 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. These models 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.
