Microplex SOLID_F40 – Spec Sheet
Microplex SOLID F40 Overview
Impact Line Printers are often rated with their high-speed draft mode. The “1500 LPM” Printronix or IBM line printer is 1125 LPM in DP data processing mode. It falls to 600 LPM in Near Letter Quality if printing ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. It is even slower at 459 LPM if printing ‘Mixed Cases’ with Capital and lowercase characters. The Microplex F40 is four times that speed and with excellent 600 DPI clarity. Customers hanging on to the old IBM 6262 can now upgrade. The Microplex SOLID F40 has performed very well as an IBM 6262 replacement, giving that ‘fully formed character’ quality but now for them at 600 dpi.
With a list price of under $25,000, the Microplex F40 is a great entry point to flash fusing printing. It can handle continuous labels, tags and forms, and media such as PE and PVC. It performs address printing and Cheshire Labels with USPS IMb with an affordable laser.
The low price of the Microplex SOLID F40 gives the customer a lot of site flexibility. The F40 is a great backup machine for a higher-speed Microplex like the F90 or F140. Current users appreciate that the Microplex Controller is the same across the product line. Some customers like to buy two of the same unit and split or alternate the workload. With the Microplex F40, the initial investment is much lower.
