Printer Overview

This chapter provides a general overview of your printer and the conventions
used within this manual.

The InfoPrint 6500-V Printer Family

The InfoPrint 6500-V 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
Printronix
emulations. Coax/Twinax, IPDS
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 non-volatile RAM stores configuration, statistics, and internal
parameters.
