There’s support for DEC®ANSI, IBM® ProPrinter® X24e, and Epson® ESC/P2 emulation. The 24-pin print head produces clear, crisp output of texts and graphics. The printer has nineteen resident fonts and eight resident bar code fonts ensuring fast, high quality text and dependable bar code printing. The printer offers simple switching of paper types and auto tear-off functionality. Parking continuous forms makes it easy to switch between continuous forms and single sheets.
