Refurbished: IBM 6400-P50 Line Matrix Printer 500 LPM, 6400-P50, 6400-P50 IBM
In today's rapidly changing business environment, one of the few constants is the requirement for reliable, cost-effective, high-volume printing. The IBM® 6400 family is a feature-rich suite of impact printers, specifically designed for high- volume printing environments. The printers are also versatile, providing a variety of emulations and options for attaching to virtually any IBM or non-IBM system.
The IBM 6400 family is available in two configurations -- an open pedestal or an enclosed cabinet. The open pedestal design minimizes floor space requirements and maximizes access to forms. The enclosed cabinet models provide acoustic levels quieter than many laser printers, making them suitable for nearly all business environments. User-Friendly Operator Panel The IBM 6400 printer family comes complete with an 80-character display that lets you verify the operational status of the printer in one of seven different languages. This display is complemented by quick-entry command keys that are color-coded to simplify operation. Flexible System SupportThe IBM 6400 family offers a variety of system attachments and printer emulations, allowing it to serve a wide range of computing environments. This provides flexibility during initial installation as well as helping to provide investment protection for the future. Remote Management Capabilities Using the 6400 Printer Management Utility, you can easily manage the IBM 6400 family. This utility provides the ability to access multiple printers remotely from a single database, download software and printer settings from a host computer, and use a virtual operator panel to configure printers. In addition, the optional IBM printer management suite, Infoprint® Manager, now supports the 6400 printer family. Graphics Options Each IBM 6400 printer is capable of printing advanced graphics and bar codes using a variety of graphic features, such as Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS), Code V and IGP. Forms Flexibility The IBM 6400 family streamlines paper handling with a simple, reliable paper path. This design, along with the view function, makes forms loading and alignment fast and efficient. The IBM 6400 family also provides additional control with horizontal and vertical fine-scale adjustments that ensure precise forms alignment. The open style of the pedestal models provides quick access to forms both before and after printing. The two-position lid lets you select whether forms will exit from the rear or, for frequently accessed, short-run applications, from the top.
