What the 1000816PAR Offers

Impact dot matrix printing strikes a ribbon, allowing multi-part forms. Product family: Citizen CL-S. Impact printing works with carbon and carbonless multi-part paper used for invoices, delivery notes and receipts. Dot matrix printers are rugged and tolerate dusty or hot environments. Wi-Fi supports wireless printing from laptops and phones. Dot matrix printers use pins striking an ink ribbon to print, so they can print multi-part forms in one pass.

Dot Matrix Advantages

Dot matrix printers have very low running costs, using inexpensive ribbons. Continuous tractor-fed paper supports long print runs without reloading. 24-pin printers give near-letter-quality text, while 9-pin printers are faster for draft output. Mobile print services such as AirPrint and Mopria simplify printing. Duty cycle indicates maximum monthly output. Management tools monitor status and supplies.
