There's nothing like it in its class. The Microline 520 is measurably faster: it prints faster in any mode, and feeds paper faster, too. And its printhead is designed to last twice as long as those of competitive dot matrix printers.It also has something you won't get with conventional 9-pin dot matrix printers: patented OKISMART Paper Handling for hassle-free switching between different paper types. No more guesswork. No more searching for the owner's manual. No more paper jams or uneven print quality. Instead, the ML520 "reads and learns," automatically adjusting to the paper you feed it. You get perfect output on single sheets, card stock, multi-part forms (up to six parts!) and labels. What's more, envelopes print out flawlessly, with no jams or smears.
Individual pins in the printhead also adjust to the changes in paper, so uneven printing, smears and light spots are things of the past. The printhead lasts longer, and the printer uses less power and works more efficiently. The ML520 can also increase your productivity: paper loading is easier than ever, and its jam-free paper path ensures uninterrupted throughput during long print runs. It can save you money in the long run, as well: the zero tear function of the optional Bottom Push Tractor lets you print on "difficult" media without wasting any forms. You get handsome output and exceptionally fast throughput every time you print with the ML520.
