What Is a DOT Mobile Printer?
When computers were first available to the public, the early printers used dots to create the image on the page. These first printers, dot matrix printers, operated on the same techniques as did print head typewriters and though the printed images weren’t as good as laser or inkjet printers used currently, they did the job. For the contractor or businessperson who operates from a vehicle or on the go a lot, a dot mobile printer provides her with the business flexibility she needs.

Dot Matrix Mobile Printers

The dot matrix printer uses impact technology and a series of dots to create the image – which makes it a good printer when needed to print multilayered paper. Because the dot matrix print head impacts against the page through an inked ribbon, carbonless multisheet paper fed through the printer on toothed sprockets provides up to four copies of needed documentation for business transactions. The carbonless multisheet continuous feed paper breaks apart at the edges and at the bottom of the sheet.
Made for Trucks

Dot Matrix prints copies in situations where the printed material takes precedence over the print quality. The impact head prints through an ink ribbon, stored in casing that doesn’t dry the ribbon out. Because of the way the printer is made, it can be used in environments where other printers can’t go. Some dot matrix mobile printers mount in trucks with a solid steel and self-enclosed case that stores the paper inside the unit, keeping it safe from the elements. When closed, these made-for-truck mounting dot matrix printers look like just another toolbox.

Multiple Hookup Capabilities
-
The new workhorses for the businessperson on the go, the mobile dot matrix printers wirelessly bond with your laptop and don’t require a cable connected from the laptop to the printer to operate. Employing the use of Bluetooth functionality, the printer can operate up to 30 feet away from the laptop with which it pairs, as per Bluetooth standards. Most dot matrix mobile printers besides using Bluetooth have a serial and parallel port as well as an infrared interface.
Sizes and Uses
-
Mobile dot matrix printers come in “pocket-sized” models that measure roughly 4-by-4-by-2 inches to ones capable of printing up to 90 columns that stand roughly 9 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and nearly 3 inches deep. Mobile dot matrix printers are used by patrolling law enforcement, businesses that offers field services, such as landscapers, waste management, transportation services, mobile mechanics or pet groomers and delivery services.
