The IBM 4245 is a high-speed impact printer that uses an engraved band. IBM proposed it as a replacement for the 1403, 3203 and the 3211/3811. As an example the Montana Department of Administration bought three 4245s (a model 12 and two model 20s) in October 1985 to replace two IBM 1403s and a 3211/3811. [21] [22] There are four consumable items:
The 1404 printer is an IBM impact printer with "all the basic features of the IBM 1403 Printer," with the added ability to print on card documents, such as punched cards. [12] The 1404 can print on continuous forms at 600 lines per minute, and on cards at 800 cards per minute.
IBM 5103 printer in Tekniska museet. The IBM 5103 [43] was the only IBM printer that could be attached to the IBM 5100, an early day portable computer. Printing was 8 DPI, 10 pitch, 6 LPI, and capable of printing bidirectionally from a 128-character set. Two models were offered: [44] 80 and 120 characters per second. [45]
IBM's first commercial computer, the IBM 701, introduced in 1952, used a line printer, the IBM 716, that was based on the type wheel IBM 407 accounting machine. The 716 was incorporated in subsequent mainstream computers in the IBM 700/7000 series. An early drum printer was the "Potter Flying Typewriter", in 1952.
Impact printers create an image by using some mechanism to physically press an inked ribbon against the page, causing the ink to be deposited on the page in the shape desired. These printers are typically loud, but remain in use today because of their unique ability to function with multipart forms.
All printers feature a thermal printing unit for printing receipts onto thermal paper. Some models also feature an Impact printer optionally equipped with a MICR-Reader for cheque processing. The printers closely integrate into the IBM SurePOS point-of-sale systems using their 4690 Operating System, both in software (via means of an API) and ...
Products, services, and subsidiaries have been offered from International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations since the 1890s. [1] This list comprises those offerings and is eclectic; it includes, for example, the AN/FSQ-7, which was not a product in the sense of offered for sale, but was a product in the sense of manufactured—produced by the labor of IBM.
The Honeywell Page Printing System (PPS) announced in 1974, is notable because it was the first commercially successful high speed non-impact printer. [1] It could produce output at up to 18,000 lines per minute, [2] where the earlier Xerox 1200 (the first commercially available electro-static printer) ran at 4000 lines per minute [3] and the contemporary IBM 3211 (which was an impact printer ...
