Key Advantages

The Microline 321 Turbo delivers fast and reliable printing performance with speeds reaching 360 cps. Its ability to print multi-part forms up to 6 copies is a vital feature for business environments. Compatibility with different operating systems and interfaces makes it versatile and easy to integrate. Low running costs due to affordable ribbon replacements benefit long-term use. The printer's compact footprint saves valuable office space. Additionally, its robust build quality ensures consistent operation even in demanding conditions.

Limitations

Being a dot matrix printer, the Microline 321 Turbo offers lower print resolution compared to modern inkjet and laser printers. It produces more noise during operation, which may be disruptive in quiet office settings. The limited graphics capability restricts its use for high-quality image printing. Consumables like ribbons need frequent replacement, increasing maintenance effort. Lack of color printing limits versatility for certain document types. Also, it does not support USB connectivity natively, requiring adapters for contemporary computers.
