Why does OTC use dot matrix technology in its family of line printers?
OTC’s TriMatrix® design reliably delivers line printer performance with lower cost dot matrix mechanisms. Our approach was to build a high speed machine at a matrix printer price that operates 100% of the business day. Our 4200 (EuroLine) Series Model 4280 line printer, for example, produces 800 lines per minute and up to 180,000 pages of output per month, performance which is consistent with mid-range line printers industry-wide.
