4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Printing for its Era, June 19, 2009

By	Acute Observer (North Jersey Shore) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is a low-cost 24-pin quiet printer designed for the home or small business that needs quality printing. It uses a push tractor for easy paper loading. There is an option to use single sheets from a sheet feeder (KX-PT12). The operator panel and software disk let you control the printer's features. It has 3 draft fonts (Micron, Elite, Pica) and 4 letter-quality fonts (Courier, Prestige, Bold PS, Script). The fonts can be in 10 different character sizes. The factory setting is to emulate the Epson LQ-850. The 11.7" carriage allows either portrait or landscape orientation for its 8" print line. All controls are accessible from the front or top of this unit. The power line cord and printer cable are not in the way of the paper path.

This dot-matrix printer can print the original and up to 3 non-carbon copies. Its 14K buffer can be expanded with the 32K expansion chip (KX-P44). It uses the KX-145 black ribbon cartridge. The KX-P2023 can emulate the Epson LQ-850 or the IBM Proprinter X24E (for software programs that do not have support for this printer). There is a software program to provide drivers for Panasonic dot-matrix printers in Windows 95, 98, and Me. WIN31DMP.exe supports: KX-P1081,KX-P1123, KX-P1124, KX-P1124i, KX-P1150, KX-P1180,KX-P1624, KX-P1695, KX-P2023, KX-P2123, KX-P2124, KX-P2130/2135, KX-P2180, KX-P2624, KX-P3123, KX-P3124, KX-P3624.

You can see how inkjet printers have simplified printing for users since the early 1990s. It is now as easy as dialing (or "buttoning") a telephone.
