Welcome to our line of low-cost, desktop forms printers--the AMT ACCEL-340 series. The series consists of four models: the 85-column ACCEL-342 and -342d, and the 136-column ACCEL-344 and -344d. All models feature a long-life, 24-pin printhead with enough impact force to print through 5-part forms with carbons. And at a brisk 320 cps!

The 342s handle multipart forms up to 12" wide, and the 344s up to 17" wide. All models come with three separate paper paths, automatic forms loading and parking, first- and last-line printing, forms-on-demand without wasting the next form, automatic interface switching, and our patented Select-dial control panel for easy printer setup and configuration.

Only the ACCEL-342d and -344d come with an extra bottom-feed tractor so you can print on two pin-fed forms without reloading. That's in addition to the two-position tractor included with all 340 series models.

All 340s print on cut sheets, card stocks, labels, envelopes, and transparencies.

With all ACCEL-340 models, you get IBM® and Epson® emulations to assure compatibility with all your software applications. Plus, there are optional DEC® emulations available. You also get nine built-in fonts, various character pitches, and even the ability to print nine of the most popular bar code symbologies.

ACCEL-340 series printers offer the speed and quality combination you need for any print job. You get 90 cps in LQ mode, 270 cps in DQ mode, and 320 cps in high-speed DQ mode.

All ACCEL-340 series printers were designed in the U.S. and include a 1-year limited warranty. No matter how demanding your forms printing needs may be, the absolute best choice is the AMT ACCEL-340 printer series!
