Answer: The series builds upon the workhorse tradition of all Printronix line matrix technology and establishes the 6800 as the go-to solution when flexible design, adaptable functionality and manageable savings are required. TallyGenicom’s 6800 series includes a new modular printer; the Tabletop with the smallest footprint and greatest portability in the series. Additional design enhancements include new sheet metal designs that promote improved durability, a new cabinet design for the Enclosed Pedestal, and a new easy to use interface with larger LCD screen, graphical display and intuitive menu navigation. Keeping pace with current technology requirements, the 6800 series added USB 2.0 as a standard feature and expanded its remote diagnostics capabilities for even greater printer control. The 6800 series delivers improved functionality, the broadest flexibility, greatest compatibility and lowest ownership cost of any line matrix printer.

Answer: PowerPrint is a new feature that delivers improved print clarity and print darkness on multi-part forms by increasing impact energy.

Answer: The 6800 Cartridge Printer series of line matrix printers features five distinctive product families and provides more variety to configure just the right solution for any industrial printing challenge. The flagship model in the series, the 6800 Open Pedestal is a dependable line matrix printer that delivers maximum uptime and lowest total cost of ownership. The 6800 Enclose Pedestal is similar to the Open Pedestal but with better acoustics. With the new 6800 Tabletop line matrix printer, you gain the smallest footprint, maximum portability, and low total cost of ownership. The 6800 Cabinet is your choice when reducing noise within your industrial printing environment is an objective. The Cabinet model also offers the most paper loading options. The 8000ZT Zero Tear is the specialized line matrix printer for customers using multipart and serialized documents that require print-on-demand, single-form, tear-off usability. (The 6800ZT will be released mid-2013.)

Answer: Yes. All 6800 printers support the most common serial matrix printer emulations. Our 6800ZT Zero Tear model would be a drop-in-place, print-on-demand replacement with a lower total cost of ownership.

Answer: Line Matrix Cartridge printers offer significant benefits over laser printers in terms of energy savings, cost per page, reliability in industrial environments and media flexibility (multipart forms, oversize media, peel-off labels or card stock). Every aspect of the line matrix printer is designed to deliver higher reliability, faster throughput, and greater resistance to rough handling and hazardous environmental conditions. In addition to energy savings, and substantially lower consumables cost, line matrix printers also have a much longer life cycle then laser printers. When you factor all these elements, line matrix provides a substantially lower total cost of ownership over the life of the product.

Answer: The TallyGenicom 6800 series is built to last for years and years, unlike shorter life-cycle products, such as laser and serial printers. Line matrix printers are engineered with features that promote less energy consumption and generate less waste. The series is ENERGY STAR® qualified, providing operational energy savings compared to laser printers. Additional environmental advantages include waste reduction, less packaging, accommodation of paper with high recycled content, easier recycling of printed paper, ozone reduction and none of the fine particulate emissions found in laser toner cartridges.
