Lexmark Forms Printer 4227 plus Dot Matrix

Lexmark Forms Printer 4227 plus

Rugged, high-speed, reliable forms printer for unattended printing.

High Performance

Built for speed, printing at speeds up to 720 cps (150 cps in Near Letter Quality) on continuous form or cut sheet, 8 part multipart forms and labels or envelopes.

The unique 400 million-character printhead life lowers maintenance costs while the 18 pin design extends print head life. Virtually straight paper path eliminates jamming while the new autogap printhead automatically adjusts to form or paper thickness and any size between 3" and 22".

10,000 hour mean time between failure rating (at 50% duty) and 60KB buffer memory. Tractor 2 feed option to load two forms simultaneously and switch between them with one touch of a button.
