DMP 430  (260-1277)               Features             Faxback Doc. # 4574

The DMP-430 is a high-density dot matrix printer which can perform a 
variety of different printing operations. For instance, it can print:

* Proportional spaced characters
* Monospaced characters (normal, condensed, compressed)
* Correspondence quality characters
* Graphics characters

For maximum efficiency, the DMP-430 operates in three modes:

* Data Processing Mode for fastest output of program listings or data.
* Word Processing Mode for letter-writing or the creation of any text  
  documentation.
* Graphics mode for drawing pictures, figures, or graphs.

For word processing, you'll find the DMP-430's proportionally spaced 
characters (created on a variable 18 x 18 dot matrix) can produce 
letter-quality results.

If, however, you need a printout that is produced faster, monospaced 
characters (created on a 9 x 8 dot matrix) are just the thing for you!

In Graphics mode, you can use graphic data to draw just about any type of 
graphic configuration you desire.

You can use two types of paper with the DMP-430:

* Standard (4 to 15" wide) computer fanfold forms with guide holes. The  
  Printer can print one original and up to two carbon copies. The improved  
  tractor mechanism included with your DMP-430 provides more efficient  
  maneuverability of these fanfold forms.

* Standard (4 to 15" wide) typewriter paper.

Other software controlled features include:

* Bidirectional minimum-distance access carriage motion.
* Full or Half line forward and reverse (for printing above or below the    
  current line) and 3/4 line feed.
* Underline capability
* Super/Subscript capability
* More fonts than ever before

and much more!
