New IBM Infoprint 6500

The Infoprint 6500 printers attach to a wide spectrum of IBM systems — from IBM mainframes and parallel servers to PCs. The new Models v5P, v05, v1P, v10, v15, and v20 offer:

  • Print speeds up to 2,000 lines per minute (lpm) for demanding industrial printing applications
  • A newly designed high-function operator interface
  • A new Ultra Capacity ribbon with a 50 million character life
  • Next generation cabinet and pedestal designs for increased appeal and user friendliness
  • An intelligent ribbon system designed to maintain optimum print quality
  • Proactive printer monitoring with the IBM Printer Management Utility
  • High-performance Windows™ Printer Drivers
  • Easier installation with the new Quick Setup Menu
  • A faster printer control unit for improved processing of bar codes, graphics, and overlays
  • A simplified product feature structure for ease of ordering

These new models are extremely versatile, cost-effective printers. They can be attached via Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, Telnet, ASCII, coax, or twinax to such diverse hosts as the IBM iSeries™, zSeries®, and pSeries® servers, IBM PC and Netfinity® servers, IBM-compatible PCs, non-IBM systems supporting the ASCII serial or parallel interface, and LANs.

Optional features include:

  • A Wireless Ethernet option that offers wireless connectivity to the LAN
  • Telnet 3270e and Telnet 5250e to allow present coax SCS and twinax SCS users to migrate to a network without changing the application
  • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 3.64 emulation
  • An optional Pullout Paper Tray that provides a more convenient method to remove printed output from the printer
  • An integrated Ethernet 10/100BaseT Adapter
  • IBM coax and twinax attachment
  • IBM Intelligent Printer Data Stream™ (IPDS™) support for coax, twinax, wireless Ethernet, or LAN Ethernet attachments
  • Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP) or Code V for graphics and bar code applications
  • A Power Stacker on selected cabinet models to increase paper stacking reliability and control
