Hanzi Printers
IBM 6400-C05 and 6400-C5P printers have shuttle assemblies, hammer
springs, and software specially designed to print the GB character set and

The microprocessor of the Data Controller unit on the CMX controller
board runs at 25 MHz or 40 MHz, depending on printer model. This means
there are two kinds of CMX controller board for IBM 6400 printers, used as
shown in this table. The 40 MHz controller board, however, is backwards
compatible in all models that use the 25 MHz board.
