4227-300 1. General information Description The Lexmark™ Form Printer 4227-300 is a dot matrix, electromechanical printer that forms characters on a print media using a printhead and fabric ribbon. The printhead is composed of 18 miniature solenoids containing print wires and operates on electromagnetic principles. When a solenoid is energized, the small print wire pin is "fired" toward the ribbon to make a dot on the paper. The printer receives commands in the form of an electronic data stream from the PC through the parallel or serial port connector. The printer logic receives and translates the electronic data stream into carrier returns, line spacing, characters, or graphics as instructed. This is a versatile printer that combines excellent print quality along with the ability to print several print styles and graphics. Some of the features and functions included with this printer are: Feature Multi-speed Printing Resident Fonts Forms Handling Cut Sheets Multiple Part Forms Interface Connection Auto Gap Function FastDraft -720 cps Draft - 600 cps Courier and Gothic (NLQ) - 150 cps FastDraft, Draft, Courier, and Gothic Forms (straight paper path) Automatic tear-off Automatic paper loading/unloading Manual Optional Auto Sheet Feeder 6-part Forms (carbon and carbonless) (4227-300 - up to 8-part Forms) Parallel, Serial RS-422, Serial RS-232 When Auto Gap is set to On, the printer automatically adjusts to the thickness of paper you are using.
