User questions & answers

Question:	Does the printer come with all of the drivers
Answer:	A disc is included with all the drivers.
Question:	How this printer connects to the host computer? is it via usb, parallel cable, serial rs232 or ethernet? please i need to know before i buy
Answer:	A cable was not provided in the box to connect the printer to host computer. Apparently, you will need to order this item separately. The setup guide indicates you can use any of the three following types of cables: a parallel adapter (IEEE1284); a serial Adapter cable (EIA-232D) or a USB cable. The USB cable would need to be an A Male to B Male cable. All three outlets are on the printer, so you can choose (and obtain separately) the cord you will need to connect it to your computer. The power cable is provided.
Question:	Will it work with Windows
Answer:	No, sorry. Windows 8 is most recent OS.
Question:	The printer sometimes stopped in the middle of a job. I wold just turn it off and reprint. Now it won't print at all
Answer:	Did you clear the job que first?

OKI MICROLINE 320 Turbo Mono Dot Matrix Printer (9 Pin) (435 cpm) (64 KB) (240 x 216 dpi) (120V) (Max Duty Cycle 20 000 Pages) (USB) (Parallel).

From the Manufacturer

The Microline 320/321 Turbo builds on the OKI Tank-Tough heritage. This 9-pin printer is now engineered even tougher for dedicated printing in the most demanding point-of-sale, automation and utility applications. It can easily run twice as long as most printers in its class! And it's economical enough to put wherever you need data on the spot.

The ML320/321 Turbo puts the "work" in workstations for financial departments, wholesale or retail sales counters, even for harsh or warehouse or manufacturing environments. Its relentless performance comes from the rugged printhead design—the lighter, stronger, more efficient motor; the long-lasting rack-and-pinion drive system; a protective, impact-resistant chassis; and a high performance that goes the distance.

The printer can accommodate multi-part forms and stock that are up to twice as thick as those that fit our nearest competitor. The printhead delivers a stronger punch—right to the last page of a six-part form! A patented optical sensor accurately positions the printhead for the precise output, and the auto-tear feature accurately positions your continuous forms for a clean tear right at the perforation—eliminating wasted forms.

The ML320/321 Turbo can meet your needs today and in the future. It's exactly the same size as the legendary ML320/321 and it's compatible with virtually all custom and off-the-shelf software, making it the perfect replacement. This machine has all the Tank-Tough reliability and high performance you need.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use track paper with this printer
Answer:	Yes, you can use narrow track paper with the model. Fan fold 8.5x11 inch pages with the tracks added. You can also load various types of labels within the width specs.
Question:	Does this printer have a power cord and UBS plug
Answer:	USB had not been invented when this printer was made. There is a single PARALLEL 25-pin connector on the printer, suitable for connecting it to vintage PCs that have a parallel printer output connector. Look at the product pictures. There is only a single parallel printer connector. You may be able to find an adaptor, but you may find it VERY hard to obtain drivers, especially for W10.
Question:	Is there a Windows 10 driver for this printer
Answer:	All I have is a not new printer that works fine with W7 in my office. It is not new. W10 is brand new.I am not a dealer, nor a W expert. In the past one had to look in W to see if they have the driver, not the other way around. Sorry, ?????
Question:	Why do people still use these
Answer:	Because so many companies/governments have failed to change with the times and develop innovative solutions. Just read through the list of reasons included here. Multiple copies? Running records? It doesn't sound like most of these companies/governments need printers, let alone dot matrix printers. Dot matrix ink is cheap and lasts forever? It's cheaper not to print at all. With the ability to store online, scan/image paper and store online, sign online, and email, printers are obsolete for the vast majority of processes. In my line of work, many people from many orgs use the same electronic copy stored in the same location. If we can do it, anyone can (unless your information is classified).

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this printer quieter than older models
Answer:	YES, BUT NOT BY MUCH. IT DOES A BETTER JOB. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS TYPE PRINTER, OKI, FOR OVER 18 YEARS AND WILL NOT CHANGE.
Question:	How wide a form can it carry
Answer:	Be sure to measure the pin feed tracks on the continuous forms also for the total width. Continuous paper: Width 3.0-10.0“ (76.2-254.0mm) x Length 3.0-14.0“ (76.2-355.6mm) Single part paper: Width 3.9-8.5“ (99.1-216.0mm) x Length 3.9-14.02“ (99.1-356.0mm) Multi part paper: Width 3.0-10.0“ (76.2-254.0mm) x Length 3.0-14.0“ (76.2-355.6mm)
Question:	Can this printer print a label with both horizontal AND vertical text
Answer:	Yes, the printer can do this, but it isn't the printer that makes the decision, it is the label program you use that has that ability or not ie: Avery Labels, or the word processor program you use ie: MSWord 2003 or 2007...
Question:	is this printer wireless
Answer:	The Okidata ML 420 does not come with wireless printing.

Phone Stands

Phone stands are very handy if you want to watch a video without holding your phone. There are two designs in this project. The first is a pocket-sized phone stand that doubles as a key ring. The second is based on a shark's jaws and is big enough to hold a tablet computer.

Turtle Key Ring and Phone Stand

This phone stand is based on a turtle shape but you can adapt it into a dragon or a ladybug. You'll need to measure the thickness of your phone (including any case) to get the size of the slot right. Take care to get all dimensions correct so you can make a sturdy stand that won't fall over.

Now Try This

You can adapt this model to make different kinds of animals. Try using spheres to make a ladybug for instance. You can even turn your turtle into a dragon by adding spikes, but don't make them too sharp!
