Heavy-duty, cost-effective, quiet printing with a small footprint.
Highlights
- High-quality, line matrix printing at speeds up to 500, 1000 or 1500 lpm, depending on model
- Pedestal design maximizes forms access and minimizes floor space required
- Cabinet design provides acoustic levels quieter than many laser printers
- Wide range of attachment capabilities
- Full IBM IPDS support, Code V and IGP support
- Integrated network support
- 6400 Printer Management Utility
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 Support
The 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.
IBM Service and Support
IBM offers a full range of service to meet your needs, from top-notch hardware maintenance to software support, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, worldwide.
Summary
The IBM 6400 printers provide these key features and benefits:
- Reliable printing at up to 500, 1000 or 1500 lpm, depending on model
- Open pedestal configuration minimizes floor space requirements and maximizes access to forms
- Enclosed cabinet configuration provides acoustic levels quieter than many laser printers
- Easy-to-use operator panel with an 80-character display
- Streamlined paper-handling functions simplify operations and accommodate application changes
- Bar code support
- Label stock and up to six-part forms capabilities
- Wide variety of system attachments
- Management capabilities provided by 6400 Printer Management Utility
- Multiple graphics options, including IBM IPDS, IGP and Code V emulation features (both Printronix versions)
- EuroReady
- Supported by Infoprint Manager
- Certified by the U.S. Postal Service
- Designed for easy installation
