Printer Presentation
This dot-matrix printer is a multi-purpose printer for front office applications. Its compact structure is designed
for integration in an ergonomic environment. The printer provides a high level of reliability, form-handling
accuracy and data integrity.
Its main features are:
o Printing on a wide range of paper media: different types of cut sheets and multi-parts.
o High print pressure for multi-parts documents
o High print quality supplied by a 24 wire print head
o High reliability paper handling
The straight paper path allows the printing on particular documents such as envelopes and multipart
