The Revolutionary 240 Magnetic Printer

The new one.Data Interface introduces the strong, silent lowcost DI-240 Magnetic Printer. The non-impactline printer which prints up to 240 charactersper second, magnetically. It's fast. It's quiet. Itperforms. Designed small enough to carry. Designed reliable enough to print data at

rates up to 240 characters per second, serialor parallel, all day.

Designed simple enough for a secretary tooperate. Styled smart enough to sit on your mahogany

desk.

Economica l .The DI-240 Magnetic Printer is economical tooperateultra-reasonable is the wordbecause no special paper is required. In fact,

the DI-240 Magnetic Printer uses anything fromnewsprint to bond; cloth will work beautifully.Buy a 400 foot roll of paper for under $1.00anywhere and get perfect print out.

Legible.The letters on the DI-240 Magnetic Printer arequickly discernible, easily readable, both

upper and lower case. There's no straining yoeyes, no deciphering characters. The Vdoesnlook like a U. The O is not the same as zero.

S w ift .

The entire cycle of the DI-240 Magnetic Printerfrom data input to visible print out is donein a split-second. SNAP! Like that, in less than330 milliseconds. Quickly. Quietly. Cleanly.

Powerful.DI-240 Magnetic Printer accepts input dataasynchronously at bursts up to 5,000 cps; orserial data at rates up to 240 cps.

Versat i le.The DI-240 Magnetic Printer is versatile. Itpermits remote switching from print mode tographics mode right in the middle of trans-mission without graphic transmission lagthroughout the whole message. It'll interspaceschematics, graphics, maps, even signaturesinserted anywhere in the print out. Talkabout convenience, performance....

The DI-240 Magnetic Printer has a switchselector for the serial mode capable of threeselected speeds. For example: 10, 30 or 240characters per second. The serial input meetsEIA Standard RS 232. The parallel input iscompatible with TTL Logic.
