Introduction
Oki ML590/91 Elite printers are now equipped with the latest Epson printer control
language called ESC/P2. While supporting ESC/P commands as its subset, ESC/P2
also provides:
– Fonts which can be defined by point size and pitch in one command.
– Font scaling between 8 and 64 points (Courier, Roman and Swiss typefaces).
– Enhanced raster graphics mode.
Your Microline 590/591 Elite incorporates INTELLIGENT HEAD TECHNOLOGY,
Oki’s proprietary method for improving paper handling and print quality. It
automatically senses the thickness of the loaded paper and adjusts the head gap prior
to printing. Therefore with awkward media like envelopes, multi part forms etc., it can
compensate for changes in the thickness of paper. Auto head gap technology means
superior print quality, especially on multi-part forms. It is simple to use as no manual
adjustment is necessary when changing paper types.
Other features of the ML590/591 Elite include:
– Zero tear for better forms management.
– Elimination of the bail arm, for a clearer and more versatile paper path.
– Seven resident fonts (including draft).
– Optional colour ribbon kit.
– Optional bottom push tractor unit, with stand and metal tear bar.
– Optional roll paper stand (ML590 Elite only).
– Single and dual bin cut sheet feeder assemblies.
– Eight resident bar code fonts.
– Fast Letter Quality printing at 120 cps and Draft at 360 cps (at 12 CPI).
