Dascom Say:

The Tally Dascom 1125 is a 24 pin, 80 column serial dot matrix printer with USB, parallel and serial interfaces as standard. Compact in size, the 1125 is perfect for industrial environments and front and back office applications where space is limited.

With low running costs, high quality output and an easy to use control panel it's ideal for small business, low volume listings and reports, as well as dispatch notes and labels.

In addition to these applications, the 1125 is also well suited to measurement and control systems.

Amongst the lowest priced matrix printers available today the 1125 also offers a long life ribbon giving this printer very low running costs.

For draft printing its considerably less expensive running costs make it a viable alternative to low cost inkjet.

Colour:

These are mono-only machines. Most dot matrix machines are, although a few can take colour ribbons for highlighting.

Control:

Pushbuttons and LEDs. Power switch on the right side. Platen knob to assist manual feed.

Print speed up to 375 characters per second.

As usual with dot-matrix printers there is a substantial trade-off between speed, print quality and resolution.

Spares:

Dot matrix printers ultimately wear out their printheads. Using a new ribbon when print begins to fade is often said to reduce wear, as the ink acts as a lublicant between the pins and the print jewel. Although printheads do not normally count as a consumable they are replaceable.

Other parts that wear out are the carriage trailing cable and carriage belt
