CHAPTER 1 FEATURES
The DL9300/9400 printer has a small footprint, is practically maintenance-free, and is designed to provide years
of reliable service. This printer uses a 24-wire dot matrix print head. The DL9300 is an 80-column printer and
the DL9400 is a 136-column printer.
The printer's major features are detailed in the sections which follow.
1.1 Print Quality and Copy Capability
The DL9300/9400 uses a compact print head containing 24 wires, each 0.2 mm (0.008 inch) in diameter.
Its letter-quality printing nearly equals that of daisy wheel printers, thanks to the 360 (h) × 180 (v) dpi print
resolution provided by a single pass of the 24-wire print head. Double-pass unidirectional printing applies up to
360 × 360 dpi for high-resolution graphics. Curves and very fine lines print clearly, enabling bar code printing.
Bidirectional printing increases the print speed, while unidirectional printing maintains precise print alignment.
Three types of print quality are available — letter, correspondence, and draft. Letter quality has the highest
resolution. Draft quality has the lowest resolution but is easy to read and has the highest speed. Each print
quality can be made thicker in multicopy mode which can be easily set from the control panel or by DLMENU.
