# Dot-Matrix Printer Review: Panasonic KX-P2023

### Panasonic KX-P2023

If you are planning on buying a printer consider this one. I purchased it about 9 months ago and I am very satisfied with it. I have been using it for the [ZXir QLive Alive!](http://localhost/periodical/zxir-qlive-alive/) Newsletter. 24-pin, the quietest of its kind and an excellent value for less than $200 at discount stores.

Epson and IBM emulation, Centronics parallel port, tractor and single sheet feed, fan-fold paper Park, auto paper load, etc. The only drawback is its smallish ribbon cartridge.

3 Draft fonts at 240 cps.  
4 Letter Quality fonts at 80 cps.  
Pitch of 10 to 20 CPI., 10 CHARACTERS per inch, 20 characters per inch.  
Draft — Pica, Elite and Micron  
LQ — Courier, Prestige, Script and Bold Bold PS

Service is the best I have encountered, five 800 phone numbers. Check with [RMG](http://localhost/company/rmg-enterprises/) and [Mechanical Affinity](http://localhost/company/mechanical-affinity/) for availability.

It worked just fine with my [MSCRIPT](http://localhost/product/mscript-2/) and [TASWORD](http://localhost/product/tasword-two/) through [LarKen](http://localhost/company/larken-electronics/)/[AERCO](http://localhost/company/aerco/) interface. No print code imbedding is required, fonts selection, emulation, etc. is all done from the top panel. (Picture 180X360)

Resolution up to 360 X 360 dots/inch.
