Introduction Section 1 Your dot-matrix printer is an easy-to-use desktop printer that provides lowcost, high-quality output from your personal computer. It handles cut forms, document-on-demand, and continuous form applications. Your printer is a wire-matrix printer. The printer makes impressions by forcing a hardened wire against an ink ribbon to transfer ink to the paper on impact. A dot is printed each time the wire strikes the ribbon against the paper. This impact printing technology has unique capabilities. The information in this manual enables you to fully use the capabilities of dot-matrix impact printing. This book applies to the Lexmark Forms Printer 2400 Series dot-matrix family of printers. Differences that occur between printer models are noted. The information in this manual is intended primarily for hardware and software programmers, engineers, technicians, and others who require indepth technical information.
