Impressora de agulhas Tally Dascom 043 802 – 24 agulhas, 360 x 360 DPI, até 600 cps, Ethernet/USB/RS-232C/Paralelo

DASCOM Europe 043 802 dot matrix printer offers impact printing with a maximum resolution of 360 x 360 DPI and peak speeds up to 600 characters per second. Designed for continuous duty in environments that require reliable multipart and single-sheet output, it supports standard cut-sheet sizes up to A4 with manual feed and a bidirectional 24‑pin print head rated for long service life.

Advantages

The printer combines relatively high draft speed with fine dot density for legible text and forms printing. Multiple standard interfaces (Ethernet, Parallel, RS‑232C and USB 2.0) provide flexible connectivity in mixed IT environments, and the robust 24‑pin mechanism is built for extended operation with a long mean time between failures.

Suitable for

• Printing multipart forms, invoices and business documents
• Environments requiring durable, continuous-dot printing (warehouses, logistics, finance)
• Systems integration where legacy interfaces (parallel, RS‑232C) are needed alongside Ethernet/USB

When it may not be suitable

This dot matrix printer is not intended for high-resolution photo or graphic printing; its strength is text and form output rather than photographic detail. It may also be slower and louder than modern inkjet or laser printers for single-sheet office printing tasks.

Key specifications

• Maximum resolution: 360 x 360 DPI
• Maximum print speed: up to 600 characters per second (draft modes may vary)
• Print head: 24‑pin, bidirectional
• Print head life expectancy: rated for approximately 400 million characters
• Acoustic level during printing: 55 dB
• Power consumption: 73 W
• Paper handling: manual feed for cut sheets, maximum printable area up to A4 (210 x 297 mm)
• Supported page description languages: Epson ESC/P2, IBM ProPrinter
• Standard interfaces: Ethernet (10/100Base‑T(X)), Parallel, RS‑232C, USB 2.0
• Reliability: mean time between failures (MTBF) approximately 10,000 hours

How to use

Load individual cut sheets or multipart forms into the manual feed path, select the appropriate paper size and form settings in the printer driver or device menu, and choose the required print density and speed mode from software or control panel options. Connect the printer to your network or host using Ethernet, parallel, RS‑232C, or USB 2.0 as needed, install the correct drivers (Epson ESC/P2 or IBM ProPrinter compatible drivers recommended), and perform routine checks on ribbon condition and print head alignment to maintain consistent output quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Need for multipart or continuous impact printing versus modern non-impact alternatives
• Required interfaces and compatibility with existing systems (Ethernet, Parallel, RS‑232C, USB)
• Acceptable noise level for the intended environment (55 dB during printing)
• Expected duty cycle and longevity of the print head and consumables
• Space for manual feed operation and A4 paper handling

Recommendations

For reliable daily operation, use compatible ribbons and perform periodic print head checks; choose draft mode for high-speed, text-only jobs and finer density settings for crisp forms and barcode printing.
