Highlights
High-speed draft printing at 550 cps
Maximum graphics resolution of 240 x 216 dpi
Long print runs -- data processing, report generation, spreadsheet printouts
Supports multi-part forms
Capable of printing labels and bar code fonts




Overview
The Pacemark® 3410 is a dependable, heavy-duty, high-speed printer from OKI. The strike force of its printhead carries through 8-part forms with clarity and provides better print quality on any surface. Two available paper paths make the 3410 more flexible -- the standard bottom-feed or rear-feed push tractors and single bin cut sheet feeder. The Pacemark 3410 performs reliably with applications that call for heavy duty throughput. It comes with resident bar code fonts and graphic capabilities, and lets you create personalized characters and symbols with the ASCII 96-character sets. For point-of-sale applications, the 3410 has the capability of printing to the top edge of the form. While in back-office applications, the power and speed of the 3410 make light work of the thickest forms. The Pacemark 3410 is ideally suited for large-volume applications.

It actually is good for corporate use, when printing PO, invoice and such.

It can create carbon copy, which is great, something that laser printer can't;)

Yes, you are right. But I think @ this price, it is much better/cheaper to go with a line printer.

Don't try to enlighten people... we won't even get started on legacy systems and such.

Speaking from personal experience, if you guys saw the applications that actually process daily things such as property tax, water billing, parking tickets etc etc etc, you'd think Widows 3.1 was light years ahead of its time.

guys can't you see this is a steal? check out the dpi: 240x216 !!! :cheesygri

on a more serious note, this is a pretty lame printer. I've seen a washing-machine sized IBM dot-matrix; the mechanics inside the printer were moving so fast I was afraid to go near that thing.

COLD. -1.

Yes. This is not as odd as it sounds. We have something similar in our office because the application we develop has to print delivery "tickets", which is traditionally done using feeded forms. I actually think printing the tickets using the 'ol dot matrix is faster than the fastest of lasers and a hell of a lot cheaper for the company (blank form wise).

Isn't it early for April Fools? I don't get it. Dell showcasing their sense of humour or the handy work of a hacker?

FWIW a lot of companies still use these, especially in mainframe environments.

Not really :lol: I still have 2 dot matrix printers, an IBM PS1 printer and the other is Samsung. If I can still find ink ribbons, I would be still printing my docs with my ancient 286 PS1.

Iv been to two major companies which still use these printers. Both use them for printing carbon copy invoices/ sales records.

My work still supports this printer. In fact you would be suprised where you would find it. Many car dealerships still use it. It serves a purpose. Not made for home use obviously.
