Wow that's fast, something like that can be very usefull as long as any kind of graphics are not needed.

I used to run an IBM 4245. It had a similar ribbon and chain arrangement. It ran all through the night printing labels only 3" wide or so. Since it would only use up the one end of the ribbon, I'd flip it around to use the end side. :) The only time it ever broke down: a microswitch broke, it was the one that sensed that the ribbon carriage was closed. The tech oncall was 3 hours away, so I swapped it with the one that turned on the vacuum cleaner hose when you plugged it in.

I still work on all of those and more. Units that have date of manufacture of 1987 and up.

I ran a 6262 and before that, a 4245.

I work the 5262, 6262, 6400 and all kinds of Printek, Printronics, Genicoms, Datasouths, other IBM models, etc all the time - the industry wants these to get junked but they just last too long and for places that need duplicates a laserjet means running two copies. Impact printing in business and industry is still very much alive. Many of the large impact printers are serial and twinaxial inputs as well and still out perform laser many times.

I use an IBM 6262 along with some HP9000s Laserjets. Company wants to go all laser. Damn laserjets jam, hang, mis-align forms etc. I say keep the 6262. Thing prints millions of pages, never breaks!

I once saw an IBM 5262 band printer from the mid-80s at a DAV thrift store. A beast of a machine rated at 650LPM and had rear-firing hammers. I started it up in test mode and it ran quite nicely.
