4247
prints a wide range of applications by offering fast print speeds at
three quality modes. Data Processing quality provides high speed for
large print jobs. Data Processing Text mode provides mid-speed, higher-quality
printing. Near Letter Quality (NLQ) produces sharp, crisp documents
for word processing, business graphics or other quality-critical applications.
All-points-addressable
graphics capability enables applications to print bar codes, bar charts,
pie charts, scanned logos, forms and CAD/CAM drawings. Your investment
in applications software and forms inventory is protected because the
IBM®
4247
offers a wide variety of emulations, including the popular IBM Proprinter*
and Epson printers.
