Service Guide ML520/521
Chapter 1 Product Specifications
1.1.01 General Information
The Microline 520 and Microline 521 are letter quality, nine-pin, dot-matrix printers which utilize
OKISMART
paper handling. Patented Okidata technology does away with the manual head gap
adjustment. The printer actually reads and learns the print medium being used, then automatically adjusts
the head gap to the optimum distance. This autogapping process leads to longer printhead life.
Options include the Bottom Feed Push Tractor, Cut-Sheet Feeder, Pull Tractor and Serial Interface Board.
The Microline 520 is an 80 column printer.
The Microline 521 is a 132 column printer.
Okidata's one year limited warranty covers the parts, labor and printhead on both printers.
The following items are available for the printer.
OKISMART Typer
- software which provides the flexibility for the Microline 590/521 to function like a
typewriter on checks, labels and envelopes.
OKISMART Panel
- a utility program that lets you control selected printer functions from your personal
computer.
Scalable Fonts - 14 scalable fonts, available on diskette.
NOTE:
The OkiSmart software includes three programs.
1. OkiSmart Control
2. OkiSmart Panel Emulator
