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:
- ANSI 3.64 Emulation
- ANSI 3.64 Emulation with with Code V
- ANSI 3.64 Emulation with IGP
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:
- Single-part forms can have weights from
15 to 100 lbs.
- Multi-part forms can be up to 6 part,
with or without carbons.
- Form width can be from 3 inches to 16
inches.
- Form height (length) can be from 5 to
12 inches.
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.

Performance
Printer throughput in lines per minute
(lpm) is a factor of the
selected font. Printing speed is independent of the number of
characters
configured in the character set repertoire. Print lines containing
bold/emphasized (shadow) printing or elongated (double high) attributes
will print at approximately one-half the rate shown in the tables.
Nominal print speeds for the IBM 6400 at 6 lines per inch (lpi) is
shown
in the following tables.

backing, or forms
with
see-through plastic or cellophane-covered openings or windows, may give
false End-of-Forms (EOF) signals.
- Downloaded characters are not supported in
Proprinter, Epson,
P-series, P-series XQ Variant or Printronix Serial Matrix emulations.
- Due to the variation in carbonless forms' type and
age,
readability
of more than 4-part forms should be assured before using for critical
applications.
- Compatibility differences may exist when replacing or
coexisting
with
older printers due to technology differences, product and application
customization, and emulation differences.
- The coaxial portion of the IBM coax/twinax feature of
the IBM
6400 is
subject to the following limitations, and the following features are
not
supported:
- Minimum dot matrix of 9 wide by 8 high.
- Minimum dot matrix of 4 or 7 wide by 8 high.
- IBM 3287 Models 1C and 2C.
- Programmed symbols 2 and 4, 190 character
downloadable fonts.
For
SCS/DSC/DSE mode only.
- Data analysis = APL feature.
- Graphic escape.
- The twinaxial portion of the IBM coax/twinax feature

- Print lines greater than 198 characters
- IBM 6400 vs 4234 IPDS Comparisons -- 4234 Emulation
Differences
- The 4234 emulation will not support Load Symbol
Sets (LSS).
- The 4234 emulation will use Courier for all Near
Letter
Quality (NLQ)
mode printing, whereas 4234 NLQ mode was Gothic for 13.3, 16.7 and 18
cpi.
- The dot sizes are different. Also, the 6400 has a
single dot
size
versus three with the 4234. For bar code applications, some
combinations
of unit module width, wide-to-narrow ratio, and element height may
affect
read rates.
- The 4234 emulation will report image and font
resolution of
120 x 144
pel, compared to 144 x 144 pel in the 4234. This will cause images to
change size in the vertical dimension.
- Proportional Space Mode (PSM) is not the same.
See the
Compatibility
charts.
- IBM 6400 vs 4234 IPDS Comparisons -- 6400 Deviations
- The 6400 will report Loaded Font command set
(LF2) in the
Sense Type
Module (STM), but will not support Load Symbol Set (LSS).
- The 6400 will support Page Continuation Actions
(PCA) without
highlighting.
- The 6400 cannot detect Human-readable
Interpretations (HRI)
outside
of the Bar Code Presentation space under all circumstances.

(#4895) Power Stacker - Initial Order Only
This feature provides an optional power stacker for the IBM 6400 Model
or
20 or i20 . The power stacker cannot be ordered as an MES, and
installed
in the field. It can only be ordered on an initial order for a new
printer.
The stacker is fully enclosed within the printer
cabinet.
During printing, a vertically movable paper guide stacks
the printed
output. Non-marking pinch rollers allow for varying paper thickness and
provides 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 in-creases. 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 on-line 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.

(#4841) IGP and Code V (Printronix Emulations) -
Initial Order
(#4846) IGP and Code V (Printronix Emulations) - MES
IGP (Printronix Emulation)
The IGP (Intelligent Graphics Processor) feature is a
simple to use
programming language for creating graphics in printers equipped with
the
IGP board. IGP Printronix emulation (also sometimes called PGL) creates
on-line forms, bar codes, and has a variety of alphanumeric
text-generation capabilities. These capabilities are detailed below:
IGP is an emulation that allows you to print
sophisticated graphics
and bar codes. Depending on what the printer is doing, it is always in
a
particular Mode, which is transparent to the user.
When the printer is receiving text, or printing text, it
is in
Normal
Mode. Any time the printer is on and is not processing IGP commands, it
is in Normal Mode. When a Create Form command is issued, the printer
moves from the Normal Mode to the Create Form Mode. During this phase,
the user sends text, images, and bar code data to the IGP. All of this
data is stored in memory. An End statement terminates the IGP data
string and the printer returns to Normal Mode.
You can create as many forms as you wish and store them
in your
host.
You can also save the forms in the emulation memory. All forms have
file
names. You may want to print the form, label it, and store it for
future
reference. Or, you may devise another method for easy retrieval. These
forms can then be downloaded from your host to the printer. When you
Execute a form, you can print it as many times as you wish. This saves
time from downloading the form each time you want to print it.
The IGP - Printronix Emulation Programmers Reference
Manual
(S246-0151) is included with this feature and explains the Modes and
Commands of IGP in detail.
Code V (Printronix Emulation)
The Code V feature is the QMS(TM)-compatable Intelligent
Graphics
Processor software designated for the IBM 64XX family of impact line
matrix printers. Code V emulates the QMS Code V Version II programming
language to produce on-line forms, bar code, and supports many
alphanumeric text-generation capabilities. Code V Printronix emulation
(also sometimes called VGL) graphics processing features are detailed
below:
- ON-LINE FORM AND LABEL GENERATION - makes it easy to
create forms
or
labels with the "pre-printed" look for each application. Code V
Printronix emulation programs control all graphics functions,
dramatically reducing host computer programming and processing time.
Graphics capabilities include boxes, vertical and horizontal, solid and
dashed lines with a variety of thicknesses, logos, and special
alphanumeric print features. Forms and graphic designs can be
duplicated
horizontally and vertically.
- VARIABLE BAR CODES - allows bar codes for your
applications to
print
easily with standard and user-defined ratios in vertical and horizontal
orientations. Available bar codes are:
- Codabar
- Code 39 (also called Code 3 of 9)
- Code 128
- Code 128-UCC with Subsets A, B and C
- Interleaved 2 of 5
- UPC-A
- UPC-E
- UPC Shipping
- POSTNET
- EAN-8
- EAN-13
- MSI
- Royal Mail
The IBARC bar code command prints bar codes in four
orientations;
horizontal, rotated 90, rotated 180, or rotated 270 degrees.
- EXPANDED AND COMPRESSED PRINT - draws attention where
needed.
Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a
tremendous range of character sizes, up to 9.9 inches wide and tall.
Five compressed print sizes are available - 12, 13.33, 15, 17.41 and 20
characters per inch (CPI); permitting up to 170 columns in an 8.5 inch
printed area (20 CPI).
- ROTATED ALPHANUMERICS - permits new concepts in form
design.
Normal,
expanded, and compressed character strings can be rotated 90 degrees
clockwise, counterclockwise, or printed upside down.
- LOGOS - are easy to create using alphanumeric
commands and a
variety
of print and shading features, for a "customized" appearance to forms,
reports and labels. Additionally, the registered trademark (R),
copyright (C), TUV, GS-Mark, UL, and CSA symbols are provided as
standard
designs. Custom symbols can also be defined.
- REVERSED AND SHADED PRINT - permits highlighting and
contrasting
by
"printing" white characters on a dark background, or white characters
on
a gray shaded background. Various levels or patterns of gray shading
and
reverse printing can be combined with the many other print features to
create distinctive designs.
- AUTOMATIC INCREMENT / DECREMENT CAPABILITY - Allows
batch form
processing. Individual numeric and bar code data fields can be
identified and automatically incremented or decremented by any amount
beginning from any specified number.
- MULTINATIONAL CHARACTER SETS - Provides 32 sets; each
96
characters
in length. This feature also allows you to create your own character
sets using characters defined and stored in the font memory.
