2.1 Printer Overview
The MP- 2005 Mobile Printer is a ruggedized dot matrix
printer designed specically for mobile and portable ap-
plications. It can print in graphics mode along with diffe-
rent character fonts, both in draft ( 150 cps ) and NLQ (
25 cps ) mode. It has both tractor and friction feed me-
chanisms and can print on multi-copy paper
( 1 original and up to 3 copies ).
MP- 2005 is particularly suited for in vehicle applications,
due to its compact size and reduced weight. Power re-
quirements have been kept to a minimum bij means of
two DC motors with integrated optical encoders, and an
integrated driver board for precise positioning rather than
stepping motors.
MP- 2005 has a 2 Kbytes input buffer and comes with
an RS-232 serial interface. The MP 2000 driver software
supports DOS, Windows NT, Windows ‘95 and is compa-
tible to the commandset of EPSON LX 400/800.
