Key Advantages

The PM230 boasts robust build quality, contributing to long-term reliability in office settings. Its ability to print on multi-part forms is a major advantage for businesses requiring instant duplicates. The dot matrix technology is economical in terms of consumables, with ribbon cartridges being cost-effective and easy to replace. Compatibility with older operating systems makes it suitable for legacy IT infrastructure. The model's low power consumption aligns well with energy-saving office policies. Moreover, straightforward mechanical design simplifies maintenance and repairs.

Limitations

As a dot matrix printer, the PM230 produces lower resolution output compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, resulting in less sharp text and graphics. It operates at relatively slow speeds, making it unsuitable for high-volume printing demands. The device is noisy during operation, which may disrupt quiet office environments. Limited connectivity options restrict integration with current networked systems without additional adapters. The printer lacks support for color printing, limiting document presentation. Finally, replacement parts are becoming scarce due to its age, complicating long-term upkeep.
