In May 1984, I bought a Toshiba P-1351 dot matrix printer for use on my IBM PC. At the time, the printer listed for around $2200, but the price has now dropped to around $1250 from discount suppliers. This printer has a 24-pin print head, yielding 180 dots/inch in graphics mode. I have developed both a <PLOT79> device driver and a TeX DVI translator for it. It has resident Courier 10 cpi and Elite 12 cpi fonts, which print at about 100 cps, plus a draft mode which prints at 195 cps. Samples of print with the Courier and Elite fonts have recently been approved by the University of Utah Graduate School for theses. Printers of similar resolution and speed have since been introduced by Fujitsu, NEC, Epson, and AMT. A year ago, this printer was very attractive because of its high resolution, and at today's discount price, probably still is a good buy. It is a poor second when compared with the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, which is faster and quieter, and has sharper graphics output. Its one advantage over the LaserJet is that when it is used for printer output on the IBM PC, it is possible to see each line as it is typed, rather than having to wait for the entire page to be printed. Its main misfeature is the extreme difficulty of changing options like data bits and baud rates; the switches are buried deep inside the printer, and it is a fifteen minute disassembly job to get at them. This is really dreadful, and I would suggest that anyone contemplating a printer of this type look seriously at offerings from the other vendors noted above.
