The PC-200 Printer is a dot-matrix thermal printer designed for use with the TI-66 and BA-55 calculators. 

PC-200_PCB.jpg (119027 Byte)The printer operates by moving an electronic print-head across a special heat-sensitive paper. Characters are formed on the paper from small dots produced by heated elements on the print-head. The two microcomputers of the TP0456 series inside the PC-200 are known from the TI-55 II calculator.

Capabilities:

• Prints up to 16 characters per line at 2.2 lines per second
• Prints the contents of the calculators display at any time
• Lists the contents of program or data memory on command
• In trace mode each step is recorded

 



The PC-200 is featured in the Texas Instruments Incorporated leaflet CL-199M dated 1983 and in the Texas Instruments Incorporated bulletin CL-837E dated 1985.
