The ML321 Turbo/D continues to build on the heritage of Tank Tough reliability established by Okidata's previous lines of dot matrix printers, said Patrick Steffen, vice president and general manager. No matter what your needs are for forms printing, the ML320/321 Turbo/D line can handle them. We are very pleased to add this version for our customers in DEC ANSI environments.
The ML321 Turbo/D's 9-pin printhead enables it to print razor-sharp images for a 200-million character life, twice as long as any other dot matrix printer on the market. Made of a lightweight samarium cobalt magnet and powerful spring-activated pins, the 9-pin printhead clearly prints through on all pages of multi-part forms. A patented optical sensor accurately positions the printhead on every page, ensuring that output is precisely formed.
Greater Paper-Handling Flexibility! With an expanded head gap, the MICROLINE 320/321 Turbo/D line can accommodate multi-part forms and stock up to twice as thick as other dot matrix printers. Using the optional pull or push tractor and the bottom feed feature, the ML321 Turbo/D line maintains a short and straight paper path to easily run stiff card stocks or labels. Additionally, the new auto-tear feature accurately positions continuous forms for clean tears at the perforation — eliminating wasted forms.
The MICROLINE 321 Turbo/D line includes two resident fonts — Courier and Gothic, plus NLQ, utility, high speed draft and super speed draft for any printing need. It also has eight scaleable resident bar codes, including: Code 39, UPC A, UPC E, EAN 8, EAN 13, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128 (A, B, C) and PostNet.
The MICROLINE 321 Turbo/D line has a motor that is lighter, stronger and more efficient, reducing friction, heat build-up and wear. The rack and pinion drive system maintains accuracy longer than belt or cable systems, giving users better print quality over time. And the entire printer is protected from the harsh environments by a rugged UV coated impact resistant cabinet.
