fast print speed of 570 characters-per-second (in
SuperSpeed Draft mode).
Then there’s the rugged printhead—with its
200-million character life, powerful samarium cobalt
magnets and stored-energy pins— delivering precise,
sharp characters all the way through to the last
page of a 6-part form. And the patented OKI
closed-loop feedback system that assures character
placement accuracy.
The OKI ML420/421: Just turn ‘em on and
turn ‘em loose.
