T2155/T2170 Family of High Speed Dot Matrix Printers

At top speeds of 1,050 and 825 CPS the T2170 and T2155 keep pace with printing environments where production of multi-part invoices, shipping documents or bar code labels is time sensitive and critical. Engineered for relentless production under adverse conditions, and rated at workloads of 45,000 and 35,000 pages per month respectively, these printers are ideal for industrial and point-of-sale applications.

Despite the growth of the non-impact printer market, the demand for high speed serial impact dot matrix forms printers remains quite strong. The user of these printers today requires much more than the low-cost output and multi-part forms handling this technology has offered historically. This market demands that we push the envelope on speed, provide multiple input tractors, expand functionality and deliver superior reliability for operation in harsh environments. The T2155 and T2170 provide a solution to these issues that is both comprehensive and cost-effective.


Superior Price/Performance in the Triple Tractor Market

The T2155 and T2170 employ a straight paper path on the front push tractors to create flawless 24-wire impressions on 6-part (T2155) or 7-part (T2170) forms. Optionally configured with three input tractors, the T2170 is priced almost 50% lower than the nearest alternative. For applications where purchase price is a major concern, the T2155 is expandable to two input tractors and provides a powerful solution at a slightly lower speed.

Automated Features for Unattended Operation

For environments where productivity is key, user intervention must be kept to a minimum. To this end, the T2155 and T2170 deliver fully automated performance with auto gap adjustment which adjusts for forms thickness, paper parking, and loading. On multiple tractor configurations, paper input capacities can be doubled or even tripled via auto-tractor switching. When paper runs out on one tractor, the printer automatically switches to the next.

In the unlikely event of a jam, an automatic paper motion sensor not only stops printing but also retains data. Once forms are re-loaded, printing resumes where the interruption occurred.

FLASH controller: A Modern Convenience on a Time-Tested Technology

Equipped with a Flash ROM to enable easy upgrade of alternative features and character sets, these printers include a broad range of industry standard emulations, fonts and 15 bar codes.

Comprehensive Connectivity

With an extensive range of interfaces, the T2155 and T2170 connect seamlessly to any network, midrange or mainframe. Auto-switching serial and parallel I/O’s are standard with optional Ethernet.
