Printer Evolution; How To Identify The Printer - IBM 6400 series Maintenance Manual

Printer Evolution

IBM 6400–050, –P50, –010, –P10, and –015 printers use a redesigned
shuttle frame assembly, hammer bank, and ribbon guides which are not
compatible with earlier models. These models use the CMX 040 controller
board, which has a 40 MHz clock speed on the Data Controller unit.

How to Identify the Printer

The model number of the printer indicates printer family, speed, and type of
enclosure. (See Figure 1.)
