Printronix T6200 Technical Features & Benefits, Line Matrix Printers Tally innovation at its best

Tally’s T6200 Series

Line Matrix Printers: Tally innovation at its best.

Tally firsts...

•We invented the Line Impact Dot Matrix printer (1970)

•Developed first quietized line printer

•Developed and patented a low-weight, high- inertia shuttle

•Developed first printers with auto-switching I/O ports

•Developed first printers with embedded industrial graphics languages

•First manufacturer to achieve ISO 9000 certification

•First manufacturer to develop a Quality

Assurance system using real-time data collection & feedback

•Developed and patented the Smart Ribbon® system that provides uniform print density over the ribbon’s life

Modular hammers and coils are easily replaced in the field

•Reduces downtime

•Lowers service costs

Forms Handling Benefits

Independent forms thickness and forms loading settings

•Correct platen position is remembered when loading new box of forms

Constant platen gap location

• Reduces possibility of smudging

Infinitely variable forms thickness adjustment

• Permits optimum forms thickness setting

Technical

Features & Benefits

Hammer Bank Benefits

Stored energy technology using robust hammer spring

• Offers inherent high reliability

•Generates high energy for multi-part forms

•Provides uniform dot density

New, high-efficiency coil uses 40% less power, returns flyback energy to power supply

•Produces less heat

•Yields higher reliability

Hammer drivers mounted on hammer bank to greatly reduce cabling needs

•Higher reliability

•Improved diagnostic capability

Four-tractor system

•Allows high slew speeds

•Accurate forms tensioning

•Forms reversal capability

•Steel tractor pins in upper tractors for reduced wear, longer life

Straight-through paper path

• Excellent forms handling

High-speed, high-torque paper drive

•Greater throughput

•Accurate handling of heavy forms

Hinged, self-closing upper paper guide

• Easy forms loading

Smart Ribbon System Benefits

Provides a constant supply of ink to the print mechanism

•Exhibits a uniformly high contrast over the ribbon’s life. Other ribbons fade rapidly and in proportion to use

Intelligent Ribbon Software (IRS) examines data stream en route to the print mechanism

•Permits real-time control of ribbon to precisely match ink supply to ink demand

Ribbon fault detection

•Ensures that ribbon is correctly installed and free of jams

Weld detection for reinking ribbons prevents printing on ribbon weld

•Eliminates possibility of poor print quality as a result of printing directly on the fabric weld

•Increases life of the ribbon
