INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

The

M304x

series (M3040, M3041, M3042, and M3043) is Fujitsu's latest

introduction of highly cost-effective line printers using a print band and

designed for OKM applications. The printing speeds of

M304:x

series models are

390, 750, 1090, and 1420

lpm

for a 48-character set, and

3013,

600, 900, and

1200

lpm

for a 64-character set respectively.

The

M304x series provides the following features:

Superb Print-quality:

Improved print hammers assure excellent print quality on

up to six-part forms.

High Reliability_: By using simplified mechanical design, reduced adjustment

requirements,

and self-diagnosis function, high reliability is consistently

guaranteed.

compactness:

Since the mechanical unit is divided into modules and control

unit is controlled by microprocessors, operability has be improved and printer

size has been reduced,

resulting in compact installation space.

Commonality:

Almost all mechanical and electric components are used in common

in all M304x series models, minimizing parts inventory and reducing maintenance

training costs.

Low Sound Level:

By using a soundproofing structure, a sound pressure level of

A (in the

ECM@.

condition) has been attained for all models.

-zlf-diagnosis:

Thanks to the incorporation of microprocessors and sensors,

diagnosis is performed immediately after power-on. Errors during printing are

automatically indicated, enabling the operator to determine if the error is

operator-correctable or requires customer engineer service. The microprocessor

can also test printers offline.

Simple Print Band Interchange: Each printer can use up to four print band;

three standard ones,

and one optional one.
