6400 Printer 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.
