Printronix S809

Industry-leading 24-pin price/performance.

The Printronix S809 serial matrix printer combines 900 cps print speed (at 10 CPI) with best-in-class printhead life, workload capacity and reliability — so you can exceed your output requirements while keeping the lowest possible cost of ownership. Its primary and secondary front-feed paths use heavy-duty 6-pin tractors for optimal zero-tear feeding on up to 8-part forms, and the extended-life ribbon delivers 25% more yield than most competitors.
