Key Advantages

The OKI MICROLINE 390 TURBO offers high-speed printing up to 550 characters per second in Turbo mode, making it suitable for high-volume printing environments. It supports multi-part forms up to 6 copies, enhancing its utility for invoice and receipt printing. The sturdy build quality and metal chassis ensure durability and longevity in demanding office settings. Compatibility with a wide range of paper types and sizes provides great flexibility. Its user-friendly interface and maintenance alerts reduce downtime and service complexities. Energy-efficient operation helps minimize operational costs while maintaining performance.

Limitations

Being a dot matrix impact printer, the MICROLINE 390 TURBO produces lower print quality compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, resulting in less sharp text and graphics. Noise levels during printing are comparatively higher, which can be disruptive in quiet office environments. The printer's dependency on parallel and serial ports limits connectivity with contemporary computer hardware lacking these interfaces. Its relatively heavy and bulky design reduces portability and requires significant desk space. The availability of spare parts and consumables may decrease due to its status as a discontinued model. Additionally, printing speed in standard mode is slower than contemporary alternatives.
