Key Advantages

The Okidata 321T excels in durability with its rugged print mechanism ideal for heavy-duty office printing needs. It supports multi-part forms, which is particularly beneficial for invoicing and business documentation. The printer is compatible with multiple operating systems, increasing flexibility for users. Low operating costs are a significant advantage due to affordable consumables and maintenance. The device features user-friendly controls and LED indicators that simplify operation and troubleshooting. Enhanced paper handling capabilities minimize jams and downtime during continuous use.

Limitations

As a dot matrix printer, the Okidata 321T produces lower-resolution output compared to modern inkjet and laser printers. It operates with noticeable noise during printing, which might be disruptive in quiet environments. Print speed, although efficient for its technology, is slower than present-day high-speed printers. Limited graphic printing capabilities restrict usage primarily to text and simple forms. Connectivity is based on legacy interfaces, lacking USB or wireless options common in newer models. The printer design predates energy efficiency standards, resulting in higher power consumption during operation.
