IBM 6400 Line Matrix Printers
The dependable IBM 6400 line matrix printer family is designed for heavy-duty, continuous
use in both system and network environments. Extensive datastream support (SCS, IPDS,
ASCII, Code V, IGP) ensures application compatibility. Speeds range from a low-cost 500
line-per-minute pedestal model to models supporting print speeds up to 1,500 lines per
minute (1125 lpm in data processing mode and 600 lpm in near-letter-quality mode). The
new, integrated EtherNet IPDS enables the IBM 6400 to be placed in an IP network yet retain
all the application function and print management control of a direct-attached AS/400 printer.
The 6400 family of line matrix printers provides heavy-duty, continuous-form impact line
printing with low total cost of operation. A variety of emulations, options, and speeds address
just about any print requirements. IPDS is available (as well as IGP and Code V) to support
graphical print applications (for example, barcoding or image).
There are five models of the 6400 family, which are shown in the following table.
