• Multiple fonts. The printer has nineteen resident fonts: Ten bit-map
fonts -- Courier 10, Pica 10, Prestige Elite 12, Boldface PS, OCR-B 10,
OCR-A 10, Correspondence, Compressed, Draft, and High-speed Draft
and nine outline fonts -- Timeless, Nimbus Sans, and Courier, each in
upright, italic, and bold.
• High-speed printing. At 10 cpi, print speed ranges from 113 cps for
letter quality to 400 cps (80-column printer) or 448cps (136-column
printer) for high-speed draft quality.
• Large print buffer. 128K bytes are available in total for storing input
data and downloading fonts. A large input data buffer allows you to send
files to the printer and return quickly to work in your application. A large
download buffer allows you to use custom fonts.
• 80-column or 136-column print line. 80-column printers are the most
suitable for printing in landscape mode using letter- or A4- size paper.
136-column printers are the most suitable for printing in landscpe mode
using legal- or standard-size computer forms.
• Simple switching of paper types. The ability to "park" continuous forms
makes it easy to switch between continuous forms and single sheets.
• Auto tearoff. Continuous forms are fed automatically up to the tear-off
position at the end of each job.
• Maintenance-free. The printer only requires periodic cleaning and
changing of the ribbon cartridge.
A LAN card is available as a printer add-on option. A user installable
function, the LAN card can be installed only on printer models with the
Centronics parallel + USB interfaces.
