Highlights
Fast & Tough
The Printronix S809 Serial Matrix Printer combines 900 cps print speed performance (@ 10 CPI) with best in class printhead life, workload capacity, and reliability (MTBF) so you can meet & exceed your output requirements while maintaining the lowest possible cost of ownership. In addition, the primary & secondary front feed forms paths use heavy-duty 6-pin tractors for optimal zero-tear forms feeding reliability on up to 8 part forms, and the extended life ribbon delivers 25% more yield than most competitive offerings.
Quiet
At 54dBa the S809 delivers best in class acoustics. Around 50% quieter than leading competitors, it is unrivaled in noise reduction. The S809 also boosts ease of use through a high-function, multi-lingual operator interface, and minimizes user intervention through fully automated & customizable forms handling – auto load, eject
& restore, park, and forms thickness adjust. Additionally, standard Ethernet, USB, Serial & Parallel allow for flexible placement. To assist IT with managing larger install bases of distributed printers, the S809 also includes a powerful remote printer management utility for real-time status updates, remote configuration of multiple printers, and access to a fully functional virtual operator panel.
