Answer: Yes! We have the serial interfaces for several Okidata dot matrix and laser printers. To find it, scroll to the bottom of the dot matrix page under the title of "Accessories and Options for Dot Matrix Printers". Serial interfaces are available for the ML184, ML320, ML320T, ML321, ML321T, ML390T, ML391T, ML420, ML421, ML490, ML491, ML520, ML521, ML590, and ML591. The PM 3410 and PM 4410 come standard with both serial and parallel interfaces.

Answer: Yes you can, BUT... Although dot matrix printers can print almost anything, they are best suited for certain tasks and less suited for others. You must understand, that under Windows, dot matrix printers will default to printing in "graphics mode". In this mode, the computer sends information to the printer dot by dot (pin by pin in other words) and makes the printer print extremely slow but the resulting printout will be very nice and things like pictures and logos will print.

Answer: Yes! We have a serial cable that will work on most serial dot matrix and laser printers. It is a DB9 to DB25 null modem cable. If the communications port on your computer has a DB25 connector, you will also need the 9 to 25 adapter for this cable. We can also provide a DB25 to RJ45 serial adapter if necessary. To find these items, place the word "cable" in the search window (located at the top left side of each web page).

Yes these are called "pinfeed" wristbands many like to print a specific message on the wristband according to the occasion.

Answer: If you are operating your printer under the Windows operating system, you probably already have the driver but in case you can not find it or if you would like a newer driver, browse to this page.

Answer: 24 pin dot matrix printers generally have the ability to print more detailed than 9 pin printers but not to a great degree. Before the days of cheap laser printers, having a 24 pin printer for finely detailed work was important - things have changed now. If you are considering a 9 pin or 24 pin printer, the most important and first consideration should be whether your software requires a 9 pin or 24 pin printer.

The difference lies mainly in speed and noise. Dot-matrix technology prints using a print head that hits the paper directly with a ribbon. You will hear it. A popular dot-matrix printer is the Epson TM-U200. You will need to replace the ribbons every once in a while. Thermal printers print using heat so do not need ribbons. The result is extremely quiet and lightning fast printing. The paper is a bit more expensive but you don't have to buy ribbons.

A000029: The drivers that come with my programs work with many "vintage" printers, if they do not work on your printer, then your printer will probably not work with my programs. Be sure you have installed the proper printer port in the correct driver and used the DOS MODE command to set up your serial ports if needed. DANCAD3D (tm) does not support color dot matrix printers at this time. See the main menu in DANCAD3D (tm)'s [C]hange command and the [H]ardcopy [D]ot [I]nstall command.

A000028: Look at the files with the *.PRN extension that should be on the program disks you have. Try to pick the one that looks like your printer's model name (see the above description of the driver names.) Then run DANCAD3D.COM (tm) and press [C]hange from the main menu and enter the filename of the driver for your printer. If the driver is not installed for the port your printer is connected to you can install the printer port manually with [H] [D] [I] from the main menu.

Dot matrix printers have been around for many years. They use impact printing like a typewriter. Tiny little pins actually shoot out and hit the ribbon against the page to form letters. This works well with the multi-part forms. The drawbacks are that they are extremely slow with Windows and the quality is low compared to today's standards. Bubble jet printers have little jets that squirt ink out on the paper to form the letters on the page.

Answer: Dot matrix printers are impact printers meaning that they have a number of pins that actually strike the paper (hitting the ribbon first of course). This allows the use of carbon or carbonless copies to be made at the time of printing. If you were to use a nonimpact printer such as an inkjet or laser printer then you would have to make a photocopy if copies are needed - not a very professional or timesaving task.

There are many factors that can cause a printer to print slowly from an Operating System, Application. However, there is a small setting in the Lipi Windows 95/98 drivers that may improve the printer's performance. The Lipi Drivers have a default printing matrix set to 360 x 360 dpi (dot per inch) resolution. This resolution value can be reduced easily to 180 x 180 without creating print quality reductions. This 180 x180 resolution will increase the printing speed of each character.

A - In order to be able to calculate a payment there are certain fields that cannot be left 0 (zero) on the left side of the screen. These are: A - The difference is you are being logged in at the lower user level. There are a LOT of functions that you do not have access to when logged in at this level. These are: The Recap screen - This is where you calculate all your profits (back end and front end) and commissions on the deal and actually close the deal.

You need not own one since printers are located near classrooms, in residence halls, in the library, and in computer labs. You may wish to buy a printer for your convenience; however, Rose-Hulman will not be responsible for it in any way.

A driver is required to have a current and valid DOT health card (medical examiner's certificate) if operating a vehicle that is: Of any size operating for-hire in intrastate commerce unless providing transportation described in MN Statute § 221.

Yes, you will need a credit card to play and subscribe to The Matrix Online. However, if you do not have a credit card, you can purchase a 60 day prepaid game card at many software retailers. I have a Switch or Solo card with an 18 digit number, and the system is telling me that the number is invalid. Switch/Solo recently changed their card numbers to allow 18 digits. We are updating our system to accommodate these new cards, and hope to have the update completed soon.

Answer: We sell genuine Okidata items and they have a complete manufacturer's warranty. The printers are warrantied for one year or more. Replacement parts such as gears, levers, etc, are warrantied by Okidata for 90 days in most cases. Under Windows, dot matrix printers will default to printing in "graphics mode".

Prior to July 1st of 2006, there was no official list or record of people who applied pink "DONOR" dot stickers to their licenses or ID cards. Now, the DMV's driver license and ID card application and renewal forms include the question: "Do you wish to register to be an organ and tissue donor?" Checking YES on the form automatically enrolls the applicant in the Donate Life California Registry, and the pink "DONOR" dot symbol is now pre-printed on the applicant's driver license or ID card.

There are three 'popular' options: The Apple Revision C, The Apple Hi- Speed, and the RamFAST. The Revision C is older and a bit slower because it does not utilize direct memory access (DMA), a feature that the Hi-Speed and RamFAST have. The Apple cards are no longer made or supported; but, you may be able to buy one at a swap meet. The Sequential Systems RamFAST has DMA plus an on-board cache of either 256kB or 1MB, making it the fastest interface available.
