Chapter 1 P5000 Printers
H-Series Printers
The “H-Series” of Kanji/Hanzi/Hangul printers replaces the P5XKA printers
formerly used to print Asian character sets. The H-Series consists of four
models: P5006H, P5206H, P5003H, and P5203H. These printers use the
CFX controller board, a specially designed platen, and a unique single
hammer bank shuttle frame assembly. The new controller, platen, and shuttle
assembly are unique to the H-Series, and are not interchangeable with earlier
P5XKA models or any other P5000 series printers.
H-Series models print the character sets used in China, Hong Kong, South
Korea, and Taiwan, as shown below:
Make Sure You Order The Correct Spares
If you replace worn or damaged printer components, make sure you order the
correct spares for the model you are servicing. The next section explains how
to identify a P5000 series printer.
How To Identify A Printer
A P5000 printer is identified by its model number. The model number is coded
to indicate the printer type, family, maximum rated speed, housing, and
certain options. Figure 1 shows how to interpret a model number.
Table 1 lists the latest models the P5000 family. The speeds listed in Table 1
are the highest rated speeds attainable under controlled test conditions.
Actual printing speed is determined by the interaction of many variables and
varies from print job to print job. (For more information, see “Printing Rates”
on page 256.)
