Impressora matricial Tally Dascom 043 379 — 24 agulhas, 360 x 360 DPI, até 600 cps, A4, USB/Série/Paralelo

The Tally Dascom 043 379 is a 24-pin dot matrix printer designed for reliable, high-volume impact printing. With a maximum resolution of 360 x 360 DPI and speeds up to 600 characters per second, it handles A4 cut sheets and a wide range of media including multi-part forms, passbooks, cheques and receipts. The unit includes USB 2.0, serial and parallel interfaces as standard and offers optional Ethernet connectivity. Its flatbed design, automatic gap adjustment and automatic alignment features provide stable paper handling and consistent print quality for transaction-driven environments.

Advantages

The printer combines a long-life 24-pin print head and serial impact technology to deliver durable, low-maintenance operation suitable for continuous industrial use. Automatic gap adjustment and automatic edge detection simplify setup across different media thicknesses and forms. Multiple host connection options (USB, serial, parallel and optional Ethernet) and the ability to connect to more than one host simultaneously increase deployment flexibility. Typical transaction times are optimised for passbooks and similar applications.

Suitable for

• Banks and financial institutions printing passbooks, cheques and transaction logs
• Retail and point-of-sale locations requiring multi-part receipts or A5/A4 printouts
• Industrial environments needing durable, continuous impact printing on multipart forms
• Offices or service desks that require reliable A4 cut-sheet printing with legacy host systems

When it may not be suitable

This dot matrix printer is intended for impact printing tasks and is not designed for high-quality photo or continuous-tone graphics; laser or inkjet devices are better suited for those needs. If network connectivity is required as standard, confirm whether the optional Ethernet module is included, as the base configuration provides USB, serial and parallel interfaces.

Key specifications

• Print technology: 24-pin dot matrix (serial impact)
• Maximum resolution: 360 x 360 DPI
• Maximum speed: up to 600 characters per second (cps)
• Supported media: A4 cut sheets, passbooks, cheques, multi-part forms, receipts
• Paper handling: flatbed design with automatic paper alignment and auto gap adjustment
• Interfaces: USB 2.0, Serial, Parallel (optional Ethernet available)
• Typical weight: 9.8 kg

How to use

Load media according to the flatbed feed instructions, ensuring forms or passbooks are aligned for the automatic edge detection and alignment systems to operate correctly. Select the appropriate host interface (USB, serial or parallel) and install any necessary drivers or configure the host to use Epson ESC/P2 or IBM ProPrinter command emulations. Use the printer settings to adjust print density and line spacing as required for multi-part forms. For multi-host setups, connect additional hosts via parallel or USB and, if required, install the optional second serial port or Ethernet module to integrate the printer into existing workflows.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether optional Ethernet or a second serial interface is required for your network or multi-host setup
• Verify compatibility with your host systems and software using Epson ESC/P2 or IBM ProPrinter emulation
• Assess the types and thicknesses of media you will use to ensure automatic gap adjustment and flatbed handling meet requirements
• Consider expected duty cycle and maintenance for continuous, high-volume environments

Recommendations

Use the Tally Dascom 043 379 for transaction printing where reliable, low-cost impact output and multi-part form handling are essential. Regularly check and, if necessary, replace consumables according to usage to maintain consistent print quality and uptime.
