CHAPTER INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
The
series (M3040, M3041, M3042, and M3043) is Fujitsu's latest
introduction of highly cost-effective line printers using a print band and
designed for
applications.
The printing speeds of
series models are
390, 750, 1090, and 1420
for a 48-character set, and
600, 900, and
1200
for a 64-character set respectively.
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
series models, minimizing parts inventory and reducing maintenance
training costs.
Low Sound Level:
By using a soundproofing structure, a sound pressure level of
55
A (in the
condition) has been attained for all models.
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.
Wide Variety of Options:
