IBM 6400-i series Shuttle Matrix Printer Call or email for:
The IBM 6400 printers attach to a wide spectrum of IBM systems - from IBM mainframes/parallel servers to PCs. Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 offer:
The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 join the 6400 family in providing professional industrial impact line printers. The 6400 family has models with maximum print speeds from 500 to 2,000 lpm, and with an array of features that can be used to customize the printer for many applications and attachments. The breadth of the 6400 family offers common features across the range of printer speeds. The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 are feature-rich impact printers that offer:
These models are extremely versatile, cost-effective printers. They can be attached via Telnet, ASCII, coax, twinax, token ring, Ethernet, or wireless Ethernet to such diverse hosts as the IBM eServer iSeries, IBM eServer zSeries, IBM eServer pSeries, 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. Other optional features include:
Complements the Existing IBM 6400 Family The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 join the 6400 family in providing professional industrial impact line printers. The 6400 family has models with maximum print speeds from 500 to 2,000 lpm, and with an array of features that can be used to customize the printer for many applications and attachments. The breadth of the 6400 family offers common features across the range of printer speeds. Operational Commonality You can operate the IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 in the same way as the other 6400 models. These models demonstrate a commonality in areas such as operator panel messages, loading and unloading of forms, and the availability of coax, twinax, Ethernet, Code V, IGP, IPDS, Proprinter III XL, Epson FX 1050, Printronix P-Series, and Printronix P-Series XQ Variant emulations. Telnet 3270e/5250e The Telnet 3270e/5250e feature allows printing that is currently performed with coax/twinax attached printers to be easily migrated to network attached printers without changing the existing application. This feature must be used with the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet adapter (#4177, 4178) or the Wireless Ethernet adapter (#4542). The Telnet feature cannot be used with any IPDS feature, the Coax/ Twinax adapter, ANSI, or any Network Print Server. Wireless Ethernet The Wireless Ethernet attachment card (#4542) provides support for either wireless or standard Ethernet cable connections. Wireless operation requires that the customer obtain the Symbol Technologies Spectrum 24 wireless Ethernet PCI radio card. The customer must also furnish the antenna required for wireless operation. The Wireless Ethernet card attaches to the IBM 6400 parallel port, so the parallel port cannot be used when this feature is installed. Also, the Coax/Twinax attachment feature (#4830 or #4835) cannot be installed with the Wireless Ethernet feature. This feature is only available as a factory-installed feature. Wireless Ethernet cannot be added to an installed printer. ANSI 3.64 Emulation The ANSI 3.64 Emulation is available as an optional feature to allow Genicom applications to print on IBM 6400 printers. Three ANSI options are available:
The ANSI emulations can be used with the 10/100 Ethernet attachment, the parallel port, or any of the Network Print Server features. These ANSI features cannot be installed with the Code V/IGP feature (#4841, 4846), any IPDS feature, the Coax/Twinax Attachment, Telnet, or the Wireless Ethernet attachment card. Pullout Rear Paper Tray An optional Pullout Paper Tray (#4540) is now available. This feature provides a convenient tray that pulls out after printed output is stacked on the tray, instead of on the floor. It is easier to remove the printed output from the tray than from the floor inside the printer. The tray is similar to the one used with the power stacker feature. Intelligent Ribbon System and "Clean Hands" Ribbons The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 feature an intelligent ribbon system. When used with the "clean hands" ribbon, the Printer Management Utility, and an Ethernet adapter (#4177, #4178 or #4542), e-mail operator alert messages can be sent automatically to selected individuals. The "clean hands" ribbons have a mylar leader that is 60" (1.52 meters) long so that the user has sufficient leader material to install the ribbon without handling the inked portion of the ribbon. The IBM 6400 Model i20 uses the same ribbon that is used on the Model 020. This ribbon is unique to the dual hammerbank technology on the Models 020 and i20. 6400 Printer Management Utility The IBM 6400 family can be easily managed by the IBM Printer Management Utility. This utility provides the ability to remotely manage multiple printers by organizing the printers in a single database, and downloading software and printer settings from a host computer. A virtual operator panel is provided that can be used to configure printers. The 6400 Printer Management Utility requires that the IBM 6400 be attached to the host system with an internal Ethernet adapter (#4177 or #4178) or the Wireless Ethernet Adapter (#4542). The Printer Management Utility (PMU), when used with the "clean hands" ribbon, now automatically provides alert e-mail notification of printer messages to the appropriate operator(s). The PMU will proactively send a message to alert the appropriate individual(s) for various printer situations that require operator action. For example, when a "ribbon low" message is generated by a printer, an e-mail will be sent. Additionally, printer settings can be downloaded to multiple printers and a virtual operator panel accessed for each printer. This function is included on all 6400 Model i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 printers. IBM 6400 Model i20 Print Quality and Print Speed versus Band Printers The versatility of the line matrix printing is causing a shift from fixed character printing provided by the band printers, such as the IBM 4245 and the IBM 6262, to the more flexible technology of the 6400 printer family. The replacement of band printers by line matrix technology is in addition to the many other IBM 6400 applications. The increased speed of the IBM 6400 Model i20 (up to 2,000 lpm in fast draft mode, and up to 1,800 lpm in data processing mode) increases the opportunity to replace older band printers. Power Stacker This feature provides an optional power stacker for the IBM 6400 Model i20. The power stacker can only be ordered on an initial order for a printer. It cannot be added to an installed printer. The stacker is fully enclosed within the printer cabinet. Forms can have the following characteristics:
During printing, a vertically movable paper guide stacks the printed output. Non-marking pinch rollers allow for varying paper thickness and provide constant tension on the paper. The pinch rollers are conductive to reduce the electrostatic charge buildup on the paper. Two infrared beams sense the paper height and cause the frame position to be controlled as the paper height increases. A paper motion detector mounted at the pinch roller station monitors proper paper movement. If a jam occurs in the stacker, the motion detector senses it and stops the printer. There is a stacker control panel mounted inside the rear of the printer. The operator sets up the stacker operation from the stacker control panel. Two LEDs indicate power on and online conditions. Push buttons are provided for on/off line, form feed, stacker up, and stacker down. The stacker operates by raising and lowering the stacking mechanism to adjust to the stack height. The output stacking capacity is approximately 3,000 sheets of 18-pound, single-part forms. EuroReady The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 are EuroReady, and can print the euro symbol. The host software must be capable of sending the correct euro symbol information to the printer.
The IBM 6400 Models i5P, i05, i1P, i10, i15, and i20 provide increased function and complement the current IBM 6400 Models P50, P10, 010, 015, 020, and 050. These i-models include all the features and functions of the previous models, and provide optional features that include:
