Tally Line Matrix T6218

Advantages: Quick reliable dot matrix printer
Disadvantages: Just remember it is a dot matrix

...with the printer are as follows, Windows support - tends to push the printer into graphics mode which slows it down - no problem with our package! and also the rise of cheap lasers and laser printed stationary. This is not a long review as there is not really a lot to say. Noise level is not too bad - foam lined inside but you still won't want to sit next to one on a long run of delivery notes....

For most users though the Online and Print buttons are the ones that will get the most use! This dot-matrix printer can produce a fairly quick printing speed, although it can’t compare to the speed of a laser printer as it is still reliant on technology similar to that of a typewriter! The response time for print requests is pretty quick. This is due to the fact that the printer can only deal with text only requests, so there are no large graphics for the printer... Read review
