2. Characteristics The MX-82 and MX-82 F/T have been designed as a printer with versatile functions to meet a wide range of applications from small business to home uses and even for hobbies. The following is a brief summary of their major characteristics. (1) Plotter print Horizontal dot space is equal to the vertical dot space. Similar figure in propotion to that of CRT screen could be printed out onto the paper. (2) Both text printing for general data processing and Bit Image printing for graphic data processing are freely available. In the Bit Image printing, both normal density (576 dots/line in horizontal direction) and dual density (1152 dots/line in horizontal direction) modes are selectable under software control. (3) Wide variation of printing widths and character sizes. (a) 48 characters/line (enlarged character) (b) 79 characters/line (enlarged-condensed character) (c) 96 characters/line (normal character) (d) 159 characters/line (condensed character) (e) Programmable column length (4) Versatile functions to meet various business applications (a) Top of Form - page length setting in line or inch units is possible, with initial setting to 11 or 12 inches. (b) Skip-over perforation - 1 inch automatic skip-over function selectable by DIP switch setting or variable under software control. (c) Programmable line spacing. (d) Vertical tabulation and horizontal tabulation. (e) Buzzer, printer select/deselect function. (5) High throughput by bidirectional printing with logic seeking capability. (6) Easy-to-replace "throwaway" print head. The print head has a life expectancy of approx. 100 x 10s characters. (7) 8 international character sets are selectable by DIP switch setting or software. (8) Complete with standard equipment including paper end detector, custom cartridge ribbon, etc. -2-

2. Characteristics
The MX-82 and MX-82 F/T have been designed as a printer with versatile functions
to meet a wide range of applications from small business to home uses and even for
hobbies. The following is a brief summary of their major characteristics.
(1) Plotter print
Horizontal dot space is equal to the vertical dot space. Similar figure in propotion
to that of CRT screen could be printed out onto the paper.
(2) Both text printing for general data processing and Bit Image printing for graphic
data processing are freely available.
In the Bit Image printing, both normal density (576 dots/line in horizontal direc-
tion) and dual density (1152 dots/line in horizontal direction) modes are select-
able under software control.
(3) Wide variation of printing widths and character sizes.
(a) 48 characters/line (enlarged character)
(b) 79 characters/line (enlarged-condensed character)
(c) 96 characters/line (normal character)
(d) 159 characters/line (condensed character)
(e) Programmable column length
(4) Versatile functions to meet various business applications
(a) Top of Form - page length setting in line or inch units is possible, with initial
setting to 11 or 12 inches.
(b) Skip-over perforation - 1 inch automatic skip-over function selectable by DIP
switch setting or variable under software control.
(c) Programmable line spacing.
(d) Vertical tabulation and horizontal tabulation.
(e) Buzzer, printer select/deselect function.
(5) High throughput by bidirectional printing with logic seeking capability.
(6) Easy-to-replace “throwaway” print head. The print head has a life expectancy of
approx. 100 x
10s
characters.
(7) 8 international character sets are selectable by DIP switch setting or software.
(8) Complete with standard equipment including paper end detector, custom
cartridge ribbon, etc.
