The most cost-effective choice where noise is not a concern.

The P8000 Open Pedestal is the most cost-effective printer in the P8000 line matrix series, built for environments where noise is not a concern. Its smaller footprint and easy forms retrieval make it a preferred choice for manufacturing and transportation, and it is a direct replacement for the end-of-life Printronix P5000/P7000 and IBM 6400/6500 series.
