New! 6252 Ethernet conversion kits: ACC-6xe!

The multipurpose 6252 ImpactWriter* offers an exclusive design that features unique right-to-left paper movement and total front access for all printer tasks. This arrangement delivers increased user efficiency and significant floor space savings required to maintain and use the printer. Its unique design offers enhanced versatility, ease of use, superior price performance, and high reliability. ImpactWriter is designed to serve as both a system printer and a shared workstation printer. Models print up to 800 lines per minute (LPM) or up to 1200 LPM with a 48 character set printband. The two speed groups of six models each allow attachment to IBM's mid-range systems, workstation, and personal computer systems as well as non-IBM systems. An IBM 6252 connected to a personal computer may become a print server within a local area network (LAN) or a remote job entry printer. The ImpactWriter also offers optional bar code capability that supports limited bar code applications. Because the printer is based on engraved band technology, it produces fully formed, text characters, page after page. The 6252 has a very low noise level when printing, making it quiet enough for placement virtually anywhere a need for printing exists.

Technical Description

Physical Specifications

The ImpactWriter's two speed groups with six models of each utilize five standard interfaces and have no unique requirements of these interfaces.

The 6252 has vertical spacing capability of 3, 4, 6, and 8 lines per inch on all models and the horizontal spacing is 132 print positions (characters), at ten characters per inch on all models.

  • Width: 1000 mm (39.4 inches)
  • Depth: 750 mm (29.5 inches)
  • Height: 1000 mm (39.4 inches)
  • Weight: 128 kg (286 lbs)
  • Footprint:
    • 8 sq ft (.74 sq m) floor space
    • 18 sq ft (1.7 sq m) for operating and service clearances
  • Paper Handling:
    • Fanfold forms, up to 6 parts
    • Perforation to perforation length: 3 to 18 inches (76-457mm)
    • Fold to fold length: 6 to 18 inches (152-457mm)
    • Width: 3.5 to 19.25* inches (89-489mm)
    • Weight: 15 to 100 lbs. (6.8-45.5 kg)
    • Thickness: 0.020 inches (0.51 mm)

* For forms widths greater than 16.4 inches (416.6mm), limited forms width adjustment exists. The distance from the left centerline of the forms feed holes to the first print position increases from 0.0 inches (0.0mm) on a 16.4 inch (416.6mm) wide form to 2.8 inches (71.1mm) with a maximum 19.25 inch (489mm) wide form. No forms width adjustment exists with the maximum width forms of 19.25 inches (489mm).

OCR Forms

Multiple part forms are not recommended for OCR printing. The quality of the top sheet is affected by the underlying sheets. For best results, use 20-24 lb (75-90 gr/sq.m) OCR bond single-part forms. OCR forms using other papers should be tested for satisfactory results with reading equipment. OCR printing is limited to controlled data processing environments. Refer to appropriate "System Planning Guides".

Software Requirements

ImpactWriter - Bar Coding and Graphics

The 6252 ImpactWriter requires host-based software to create bar codes or graphics data. The software used can consist of user-written programs, commercial application packages, or combinations. The following describes sources for host bar code software:

  • User-Written Programs - refer to the "IBM 6262 Applications Guide to Bar Code Printing" (GA24-4224). This document illustrates bar code data streams and provides programming examples. The examples show ways of working with US Postal Service Zip + 4 Code, and the creation of large graphical characters used primarily in AIAG style labels. Simple label and form designs are also shown.
  • Cooperative Software Program - Lowry Computer Products Inc. offers a bar code and graphics package (BGP) through IBM's Cooperative Software Program (CSP) offering.

BGP Highlights

  • Easy to install
  • Easy to use
  • Uses the industry-standard Code "V" command set (eases migration from non-IBM applications)
  • Wide range of system support (CPF S/38, OS/400, MVS, VM, and VSE) Supports most bar code symbologies

Publications

The following publications are shipped with the machine:

  • GA24-4247 6252 User's Guide
  • GA24-4249 6252 Customer Reference Manual
  • GA24-4246 6252 Site Planning and Preparation Guide
  • GA24-4248 6252 Setup instructions
  • GA24-4296 Attaching 6252 to AS/400, S/3X, etc.

Customer Responsibility: The customer is responsible for providing the following consumables:

  • Print Band
  • Ribbons
  • Bar Code Interposers

The estimated life of available consumables are:

  • Printband - 50,000,000 Lines*
  • Bar Code Printband Life - 20,000,000 AIAG** Labels
  • Ribbon, General Purpose - 30,000,000 Characters***
  • Ribbon, High Contrast Polyester - 1,000,000 Characters***
  • Ribbon, Nylon OCR - 6,000,000 Characters***
  • Bar Code Interposer - 28,000 AIAG** labels
  • Bar Code Ribbon Life (High Contrast Polyester) - 3000 AIAG** labels read with a Visible light scanner, and 1500 AIAG labels read with an Infrared scanner.

* Estimated life derived from IBM testing of text printing with the General Purpose ribbon and using 0.095 inch high font with a 48 character set. Ribbons with high carbon ink may significantly reduce printband life.

** AIAG label formats were 4"x 5" (102 x 127mm), printed 3 up, rotated (landscape orientation).

*** Estimated life derived from IBM testing of text printing using 0.095" font with a 48 character set.

Printband and ribbon life experienced by a user varies significantly depending on printer condition, machine setting, paper quality, printband condition, font height, high usage of small area characters and other factors.

If the customer desires NSD to replace or install any of these items, the time involved is billed to the customer.

Diskettes

A diskette, supplied with the printer, provides the configuration and printband images.
