The new products from Timex Computers are starting to roll. True to their company policy, quality has been the concern of all involved. The new printer, the Timex Sinclair 2040 (reviewed on page 30 of this issue), is a good example of that attitude. This printer reproduces any character on the T/S1000,ZX81 keyboard. And it does so on plain white or blue paper (no electrosensitive paper required).
Whatever you can put on the screen, the 2040 printer can put onto paper. It prints 32 columns wide at two lines per second. Its full graphics capability is based on a dot matrix print mechanism. It’s not only quiet, but it also is efficient. The clear print-out can be program controlled to allow you to custom-control the print format. It is completely compatible with the ZX81 and sells for only $99.95. That’s a bargain. The Timex 2040 is a fine printer.
