Oki ML391, ML390 User Manual

On the fast track of impact printers, the MICROLINE

®

390/391 Turbo is in the passing lane. Its Tank-Tough

®

endurance in the OKI®tradition will keep you
productive long after most of the other printers
in its class have retired. And its combination of
versatile paper handling, performance and speed
can’t be matched.

Whether it’s called on to handle long print runs
or a single piece of letterhead, an envelope or
a spreadsheet, in the office or on a counter, the
ML390/391 Turbo is the way to go. This 24-pin
dynamo excels in dedicated forms printing, turning
it out equally fast and precise with pin feed or cut
sheet stock.

In time trials, the ML390/391 Turbo clocks speeds
up to 30% faster than its closest competitor —

Powerful performance

and smooth handling

with a Utility mode that can kick out reports at an
impressive 390 characters per second. Even the
Letter Quality mode is 30% faster than the
competition!

The ML390/391 Turbo printhead’s lightweight
samarium cobalt magnet and powerful, spring­activated pins deliver a stronger punch, and the
expandable gap between the printhead and platen
easily seats 4-part forms. In fact, it can accept stock
that’s up to twice the thickness its nearest competitor
can accommodate. For stiff card stock or labels, its
bottom feed

provides a short, straight paper path to

keep even the most difficult jobs running smoothly.

Reliable forms printing for increased productivity
in general office and utility applications.

Turn Your Documents Into Winners.

The ML390/391 Turbo is a dedicated forms printer
that also turns out professional-looking presentations,
proposals and correspondence.

With three scalable fonts, you can express yourself in
8- to 64-point type. And you can be confident that
your mailing envelopes will be equally presentable—
and scannable—when you select any of the eight
resident bar code fonts, including PostNet

®

. The
printer’s 24-pin printhead design will keep your print
images—text and graphics—sharply defined over its
200-million character life.

In addition to superior-looking output, you want a
printer that won’t waste a sheet of paper or a single
form. The ML390/391 Turbo has an auto-tear feature
that accurately positions continuous forms for a clean
tear at the perforation—eliminating wasted forms.

You’ll also look good in any environment: the
ML390/391 Turbo supports Windows

®

95 and 98,

Windows®3.x, Windows NT®4.0, UNIX®and Novell

®

NetWare®, so it’s compatible with virtually all custom
and off-the-shelf software.

Drive your office productivity further, with the printer
that performs and handles like a champion and
delivers output that makes you feel like a winner, too.
The ML390/391 Turbo from OKI.
