      			   Okidata Pacemark 2410
                 Heavy-Duty, High-Speed Dot Matrix Printer

This is a high-speed printer that is built like a tank.  It is designed for
continuous operation at up to 350 cps (data processing mode).  Its
heavy-duty construction makes most dot matrix printers look like toys.

Specifications:

Print Speed
	Data Processing Mode	350 cps
	Draft Mode		175 cps
	Correspondence Quality	87.5 cps (2 pass)

Other Features:
	Graphics (all points addressable at 72x72 and 144x144 dpi)
	Subscripts, Superscripts, Underlining
	Downline loadable characters
	Multiple character sets (US, Dutch, German, Spanish, Norweigian,...)
	Printronix, TI 810, and Data Products M-200 compatibility modes
	Programmable horizontal and vertical tabs
	Programmable line spacing (1/144" increments)

Print Technique:
	9-pin dot matrix (printhead life of 500 million characters)
	bidirectional, short-line seeking, (unidirectional in CQ mode)

Paper Feed:
	Tractor feed (accepts 4-part forms, 5-16" wide)
	Friction feed (for individual sheets)
	
Interface:
	RS232C (up to 19,200 baud)
	Centronics parallel (requires extra cable to access internal connector
	    I've never tried the parallel interface, but it should work.)
	
Physical:
	23.5" W x 22.4" D x 9.1" H
	74 pounds (I said it was heavy-duty!)

The printer is essentially unused.  It is about 1-1/2 years old and has
printed less than 1/2 a box of paper.  I'm selling it because I just don't
need (or use) such a heavy-duty printer.  It currently sells for ~$2300 new
(Printers Plus price).  

Asking: $550 + shipping (or best offer)

Please EMail offers or inquiries to: dpm@cs.cmu.edu

Thanks,
David
