Chapter 1. Printer Overview
This section provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions used
within this manual.
The InfoPrint 6500 Printer Family
The InfoPrint Solutions Company's InfoPrint 6500 series consist of 500, 1000, 1500,
and 2000 lines per minute (lpm) models and are packaged in various
configurations. All of the models offer software versatility and the latest
refinements in line matrix printing technology. The print mechanisms are housed
in sound-insulated cabinets which make the printer family among the quietest
printers in the world. Additionally, your printer has a flexible architecture that
allows you to add new features and emulations as they become available.
ASCII is the standard emulation. ASCII includes the Epson FX-1050, Printronix
pSeries, pSeries XQ, Serial Matrix and Proprinter III XL emulations. Coax/Twinax,
IPDS , ANSI and the IGP/PGL and IGP/VGL graphics enhancement emulations
are available as optional upgrades. No matter what emulation is installed, your
printer is easy to use. The message display and lights on the control panel
communicate with you directly and clearly. You can select every function on your
printer at the control panel, or you can send commands from the host computer.
The printer combines the use of Flash, RAM, and nonvolatile RAM for program
execution. The Flash is used for all program, font, and emulation storage. New
fonts, emulations, or program updates can be downloaded to Flash memory via
the parallel or serial interface, or through the Ethernet interface. The RAM is used
for buffers, print image storage, and execution variables. The nonvolatile RAM
stores configuration, statistics, and internal parameters.
