The IBM 1132 was the last printer manufactured by IBM to use this technology. IBM 1403 printer opened up as it would be to change paper. The print chain is behind the wide black ribbon, hinged open to the right, which is the width of the paper. Also note carriage control tape in upper right.
Released in 1959, the IBM 1403 Model 1 is the first hammer based printer produced by IBM. It uses type slugs on a chain and is the first IBM printer to do so. In 1967 the IBM 1403 Model N1 is the first IBM printer to use a train rather than a chain. This change is made because it is not possible to achieve higher speeds using a chain.
IBM 1403 line printer, the classic line printer of the mainframe era. A line printer prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line. [1] Most early line printers were impact printers. Line printers are mostly associated with unit record equipment and the early days
Line printer: IBM 1443 Printer (00B) or IBM 1403 Printer (00E) Disk storage: IBM 2311 Magnetic Disk Drives (190 & 191) or IBM 2314 Direct Access Storage Facility Tape storage: IBM 2401 Magnetic Tape Units (180 & 181 for 7-track, and 182 & 183 for 9-track) Telecommunications controller (If used in a telecommunications environment)
A card reader, card punch and line printer were usually included, but magnetic tape drives could be substituted. [ 23 ] : p.10 A typical configuration might consist of a S/360 model 30 with 32KB memory and the decimal instruction set, an IBM 2540 card reader/card punch, an IBM 1403 printer, two or three IBM 2311 disks, two IBM 2415 magnetic ...
In such installations, with an IBM 7090 for example, the mainframe computers used only magnetic tape for input-output. It was the 1401 that transferred input data from slow peripherals (such as the IBM 1402 Card Read-Punch) to tape, and transferred output data from tape to the card punch, the IBM 1403 Printer, or other peripherals. This allowed ...
IBM 5203 printer for System/3. A smaller (IBM 5203) printer was attached to the main system. The 5203 was a chain printer with interchangeable cartridges. It could run at 100 or 200 lines per minute, based on model. [9] Later on, IBM offered multiple models of the existing IBM 1403 printer line, which had been originally built for the IBM 1401 ...
Early mainframe printers were usually line printers. Line printers provide a limited set of commands to control how the paper is advanced when print lines are printed. The application writing reports, list, etc. to be printed has to include those commands in the print data. These single character print commands are called printer control ...
