DASCOM 1225

The Tally Dascom 1225 is a 24 pin, 136 column serial dot matrix printer with USB and parallel interfaces as standard. The wide carriage printer is perfect for industrial environments and front and back office applications.

With low running costs, high quality output and an easy to use control panel it‘s ideal for low volume listing reports, invoices and other critical documents, as well as dispatch notes and labels.

In addition to these applications, the 1225 is also well suited for measurement and control systems.

Amongst the lowest priced matrix printers available today the 1225 also offers a long life ribbon which means fewer ribbon changes, less downtime and lower running costs.

Colour:

These are mono-only machines.

Control:

Pushbuttons and LEDs in a recess to guard against accidental operation. Power switch on the right front. Platen knob to assist manual feed.

Print Speed:

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.

Print Speed:- 10 cpi: 375 cps (HSD), 250 cps (Draft), 83 cps (LQ)

Throughput (ECMA 132) 336 pages per hour.

Print Resolution:

up to 360 x 360 dots per inch

Character Density: 10, 12, 15, 17.1, 20 cpi. Proportional Spacing

Line Density: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 lpi.

Duty Cycle:

Workload: 6,000 pages per month (?).

Printhead Life: 400 million strokes per pin.

Consumables: Black ribbon life 7 million characters.

MTBF: 10,000 hours.

Standard Paper Handling:

Standard Paper Handling: Push tractor and single sheet tray.

Number of Copies: 1 original + 4 copies. (5-part forms)

Paper Type: Cut sheets, continuous forms, mulit-part forms.

Paper Weight: 52-100 g/m2.

The 1125 also has RS232 serial. RS232 is still widely used in instrumentation, labelling and weighing tasks.

Network:

Only a few dot matrix printers are available with built-in Ethernet however they can use parallel or USB print servers. DASCOM can provide the TallyCom III series of external print servers.

Environment:

Temperature: +5°C to +40°C.

10% to 80% (not condensing).

Acoustics:

Acoustic: 55 dB(A)

Dot matrix printer are inherently quite noisy; their dominant uses are in factory and logitics environment where that is not an issue. Put them in a separate room if nise is a problem.

Dimensions:

Physical Size 6.8“x23.1“x13.1“ (H x W x D)

Physical Weight: Approximately 18lbs.

Consumables:

The only consumeable is a ribbon with a typical life of xxx million characters.

Black ribbon

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.
