TVSE’s DMPs

TVSE has launched two 136 column DMPs–MSP 245XL Classic and MSP 345 Classic. These can be used for billing and generating transaction reports by small businesses like superstores and small banks.

You can connect both printers to your computer through the parallel port or serial port (this costs Rs 800). You can load continuous stationery either from the top, rear or bottom. You can also print three carbon copies. The fabric life of the black ribbon is 3 million characters (in draft mode at 10 cpi) and the life of the print head is about 200 million characters. Both printers can be installed on DOS and Windows 3.x/9x/NT4.0.
