draft quality.

Large print buffer. 64 Kbytes are available in total for storing input data and

downloading fonts. A large input data buffer allows you to send files to the print-

er and return quickly to work in your application. A large download buffer allows

you to use custom fonts.

for printing in landscape mode using letter or A4 size paper.136-column printers

are the most suitable for printing in landscpe mode using legal or standardsize

computer forms.

Simple switching of paper types. The ability to "park" continuous forms makes

it easy to switch between continuous forms and single sheets.

Auto tear-off. Continuous forms are fed automatically up to the tear-off position

at the end of each job.

Maintenance-free. The printer only requires periodic cleaning and changing of

the ribbon cartridge.
