The superior performance 9-pin dot matrix printer for multiple paper-handling applications There's nothing like it in its class. The Microline 520 is measurably faster: it prints faster in any mode, and feeds paper faster, too. And its printhead is designed to last twice as long as those of competitive dot matrix printers. It also has something you won't get with conventional 9-pin dot matrix printers: patented OKISMART Paper Handling for hassle-free switching between different paper types. No more guesswork. No more searching for the owner's manual. No more paper jams or uneven print quality. Instead, the ML520 "reads and learns," automatically adjusting to the paper you feed it. You get perfect output on single sheets, card stock, multi-part forms (up to six parts!) and labels. What's more, envelopes print out flawlessly, with no jams or smears. Individual pins in the printhead also adjust to the changes in paper, so uneven printing, smears and light spots are things of the past. The printhead lasts longer, and the printer uses less power and works more efficiently. The ML520 can also increase your productivity: paper loading is easier than ever, and its jam-free paper path ensures uninterrupted throughput during long print runs. It can save you money in the long run, as well: the zero tear function of the optional Bottom Push Tractor lets you print on "difficult" media without wasting any forms. You get handsome output and exceptionally fast throughput every time you print with the ML520. Productivity enhancing features When it comes to sheer print speed, the ML520 turns out a blazing 430 characters per second (cps) in high speed draft print mode, 320 cps in utility mode, and 80 cps in near-letter quality mode. The ML520 has 8 resident bar code fonts, including USPS-certified PostNet, for envelopes and labels. Plus, to get the most out of your software without extra cost, select from Epson, IBM and Microline emulations, all of which are resident standard. The ML520 is so reliable, it comes with a 1-year Oki Data warranty on parts, labor and printhead. In addition, the ML520 printhead has a life expectancy of over 200 million characters, so you know it can do the job when you need it. The ML520 also has several OKI-engineered accessories to help you make the most of your work day including a Bottom Feed Push Tractor kit for thick forms; a Pull Tractor for multi-part forms, card stock and labels; a Serial Interface that lets you connect easily to a variety of systems and increase the productivity of your work environment; a 4-million character long-life ribbon; and a Cut Sheet Feeder that gives you more time for other work during long, unsupervised print runs. For reliability you can count on, it's the ML520. |
