FACOM 651
Description

This was the fastest line printer among Fujitsu's models employing the type drum system. Due to the increasing performance of information processing systems and the expanding range of tasks to which they were applied, there was a need to improve line printer speed and performance, particularly reliability, in order to handle the increase in the volume of information output. In response, Fujitsu completed the FACOM 651 in March 1975. This printer was based on the proven technology of the previous FACOM 647 model, and achieved the fastest printing speed using the type drum system among Fujitsu's models.
