Product Outline
MP 2000 is an impact dot matrix printer with tractor and friction feed mechanism for
use in mobile environments.
The mechanism is equipped with a ballistic nine needle printing head, it is able to print
at 150 cps in draft mode and 25 cps in NLQ (Near Letter Quality) mode on multi-copy
paper (one original and up to four copies).
Due to its compact size and reduced weight (2.2 kg), the MP 2000 is particularly sui-
ted for portable applications.
Power requirements have been kept to a minimum by means of two DC motors with
integrated optical encoders. Using an integrated driver board, this ensures the same
precision positioning in comparison to stepping motors.
The MP 2000 can print in the graphics mode along with different character fonts, both
in draft and NLQ mode. It has also been developed mainly for portable applications,
e.g. when connected to a lap-top.
MP 2000 comes standard with 2 Kbytes input buffer and comes with the following
choices of interfaces:
- TTL - level serial interface
- RS-232 serial interface
- Parallel interface
- IRDA infra red
The interface flexibility ensures that the MP 2000 can work with almost any computer
system. The MP 2000 is software driven. It is compatible with the driver software of
EPSON LX 400 / LX800 and comes with his own windows '95 and NT drivers.
