1 Maintenance Overview

About the Printer

Printronix P5000 series line matrix printers use PSA (Printronix System

Architecture), which puts all data control and printer control logic on one

circuit board. The use of flash memory on this board permits rapid access to

stored printer emulations and fast processing of print data. A variable-speed

shuttle and half-step paper control enable these printers to print a wide variety

of high-volume jobs with minimum maintenance and maximum reliability.

Although technologically advanced, the P5000 printer is easy to use. The

operator can select every printer function at the printer control panel or by

sending control codes in the data stream from the host computer to the

printer. For greater security and to protect special printer configurations, the

operator can program which key combination locks and unlocks the ENTER

key on the control panel.

This is also an excellent graphics printer, with optional features that simplify

the creation of images. The IGP and Code V Printronix emulations, for

example,

are simple but versatile graphics programming languages that load

into flash memory.

P5000 Printers

The P5000 family consists of machines that print at different speeds. (See

Table 1.) Many models are available in either a floor cabinet or pedestal

housing. P5XKA (Kanji/Hanzi) models are available in pedestal, cabinet, or

“table top” configuration. Despite its name, the table top P5XKA printer is not

intended for use on a table. It is really a pedestal model printer that has been

removed from the pedestal and packaged separately to facilitate shipping to

certain international markets. A “table top” printer is then installed on its

pedestal after it arrives at its destination.

Kanji/Hanzi Printers

P5XKA printers have shuttle assemblies, hammer springs, and software

modified to print the Kanji/Hanzi character sets used in Asia. These printers

support the GB Song and GB

Kai character sets used in the People’s

Republic of China, Singapore, and Hong Kong, and the Big-5

Ming character

set used in Hong Kong and Taiwan. P5XKA printers can mix ASCII and Kanji/

Hanzi characters on the same line, with ASCII characters occupying half the

width of Kanji/Hanzi character cells. Because of the density and complexity of

these character sets, these models print at lower speeds.
