Operating Simplicity
Significantly more reliable than its IBM predecessor models, the IBM 6262 offers new levels of operating simplicity and ease of use. Its swing gate allows operators to load forms faster and more easily, and its four forms-feed tractors (which can be adjusted with a single knob) permit routine processing of prenumbered forms.
The 6262 Printer has a low noise level, making it quieter than almost any other printer in its performance range and suitable for placement virtually anywhere a printing need exists.

Flexible System Attachments
Depending upon the model you choose, the 6262 can attach to a wide variety of IBM systems including the IBM Personal System/2 (PS/2), Application System/400(AS/400), including the Advanced 36, System/36, System/38, System/390, Enterprise System/9000, (S/9000), and IBM 3270 Information System. The 6262 family also includes the 6262 A22, which enable attachment to a variety of non-IBM and IBM ASCII hosts that interface with personal computers, workstations and LAN print stations. The 6262 P22 will attach to non-IBM system hosts using the Dataproducts** parallel system printer interface. Other attachment conversions or model changes are also available.

Advanced Diagnostics for High Availability
The IBM 6262 provides a number of sophisticated diagnostic capabilities including an 80 character, plain language diagnostic and test message display. Internal processors constantly monitor operations, maintaining high throughput and decreasing the need for operator intervention. Add operator-initiated problem analysis and resolution procedures and you have a printer that seldom requires a service call.

Enhanced Operator Capabilities
With the improved IBM 6262 operator panel, operators can change print contrast, page length and vertical spacing, as well as specify the forms control buffer from the host processor. By monitoring a ribbon pass counter, operators can manage ribbon life during critical print quaility operations. In addition, operators can intiate an electronic flight-timing routine that maintains optimum print quality without a service call. A highly visible attention light alerts operators to those situations when the printer does require attention. Also, a convenience vacuum is included to make routine printer cleaning quick and easy.
