Printer Evolution

IBM 6400–050, –P50, –010, –P10, and –015 printers use a redesigned

shuttle frame assembly, hammer bank, and ribbon guides which are not

compatible with earlier models. These models use the CMX 040 controller

board, which has a 40 MHz clock speed on the Data Controller unit.

The model number of the printer indicates printer family, speed, and type of

enclosure. (See Figure 1.)
