Oki Microline 320 Turbo, Microline 321 Turbo User Manual

MICROLINE® 320/321 Turbo Series

Optimize your business performance
with reliable, low-cost impact printing

Legendary reliability, expanded head gap, and zero-tear capability
for dedicated forms printing

The MICROLINE® 320/321 Turbo builds on
the OKI Printing Solutions heritage of rugged
reliability. This 9-pin printer is engineered to
be tough enough for dedicated printing in the
most demanding point-of-sale, automation
and utility applications. It can easily run twice
as long as most printers in its class. And it’s
economical enough to put wherever you need
data on the spot.

Getting the job done, day in and day out

The ML320/321 Turbo puts the “work” in
workstations for financial departments,
wholesale or retail sales counters, even
for harsh or warehouse or manufacturing
environments. Its relentless performance
comes from the design of its printhead;
a light, strong, efficient motor; the long­lasting rack-and-pinion drive system; and
a protective, impact-resistant chassis.

The printer can accommodate multipart
forms and stock that are up to twice as thick
as those that fit our nearest competitor.

The printhead delivers a stronger punch—
right to the last page of a 6-part form.

A patented optical sensor accurately
positions the printhead for precise output,
and the auto-tear feature accurately positions
your continuous forms for a clean tear right at
the perforation—eliminating wasted forms.

Accommodating your growing business

The ML320/321 Turbo can meet your needs
today and in the future. It’s exactly the same
size as the legendary ML320/321 and it’s
compatible with virtually all custom and
off-the-shelf software, making it the perfect
replacement.

MICROLINE 320/321 Turbo Series: all the
reliability and high performance you need.
