Limitations
As a dot matrix printer, the Okidata Microline 132017603131 has lower print resolution compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, affecting graphics quality. It produces noticeable noise during operation, which may be disruptive in quiet office environments. The speed, while sufficient for many tasks, is slower than most contemporary printers, especially for complex documents. Its design limits color printing capabilities, being primarily focused on monochrome output. Replacement parts for this older model may be difficult to source, increasing maintenance challenges. The reliance on impact printing technology causes more wear on consumables such as ribbons compared to non-impact printers.
