Line Printing at Warp Speed
The Model 6180 Line Printer boldly goes where no line printer has gone before. The 6180 is the first and only line matrix printer in this galaxy to achieve a print speed of 1800 lines per minute, while maintaining all the versatility, functionality and flexibility Ganson line printers have delivered for many years.
Unprecedented print speed is possible through a combination of innovations specifically geared for maximum throughput. First, the 6180's proprietary controller provides significant advancements in data management. This controller, featuring "Page Segment Architecture’ intelligently arranges data into segments prior to printing. With the need for time-consuming forms reversal eliminated, text and graphics are printed in just one pass. Also, the 6180 features a dual dot row hammer bank. This inherently reliable stored energy hammer bank actually prints two rows of dots simultaneously in the time it takes a conventional printer to print just one. Using the constant density font mode,characters of 10,12, 13, 15 and 17 CPI can all be printed at 1800 lines per minute, even if intermixed on the same line.
In Command of Multi-Part Forms
The 6180 handles 6-part forms and prints a line up to 13.6" wide . A new platen position sensor and high torque dual motor paper drive system boost energy for heavy form control. Stability, tension and high slew speeds are achieved by four tractors-each with six steel pins in contact with paper at all times-a precise forms tension lever, a forms thickness "Helm" wheel, and a new four point shuttle mount. And conductive platen supports, serving as brush replacements, dissipate static for jam-free, unattended operation.
Stellar Print Quality
Sharp text is produced by a proprietary, injection-molded impact element engineered specifically for uniform, solid dot creation. Teamed up with our Read/Right bar code algorithm and an extremely stiff frame, hammer bank carriage and platen, this element also produces the highest quality bar codes and graphics.
No Atmosphere too Alien
The Model 6180 comes standard with auto switching parallel and serial interfaces and easily adapts to a variety of environments. FourPlex (with or without IPDS), LANPlex, and Extended Parallel interfaces equip the 6180 to function fully with PC’s, IBM midrange/mainframe systems or networks. All interfaces are user installable and all ports are hot. Standard graphics features include both QMS Code V and PGL languages as well as POSTNET bar code. And the extremely versatile 1800 emulates twelve popular printer models.
A New Dimension in Reliability
The 6180 is a tribute to engineering ingenuity. A streamlined power system outputs a single voltage. Hammer coils are double-insulated and monitored for current consumption, while a distributed cooling system is monitored by firmware. And besides speed, hammer bank redundancy brings greater reliability to this already highly reliable technology. In the unlikely event of a print element failure, printing can continue with no loss of print quality. And the latest firmware revisions are easily made through FLASH memory via the printer’s I/O.
