Core functionalities:

• Printing Method: Dot-matrix technology, using an ink ribbon to create characters by impacting the paper with tiny pins. While not known for high-resolution graphics, it offers durability and affordability. (Ribbons required, not included).
• Print Speed: Up to 2.5 lines per second (depending on print mode). This translates to speeds suitable for basic receipt printing but might be slower for complex graphics.
• Print Resolution: Limited resolution compared to thermal printers. While exact specifications might not be readily available, dot-matrix printers typically offer resolutions around 180 dpi (dots per inch).
• Print Width: Maximum printable width of around 40 columns (depending on character size). This is suitable for standard receipts with text and basic barcodes.

Compact Design and Portability:

• Lightweight and Palm-Sized: The CBM-910II is known for its compact design, making it easily portable for mobile use cases.
• Optional Wall Mountable: A hook on the bottom allows for wall mounting, saving counter space (mounting hardware might need separate purchase).

Usability and Interface:

• Simple Controls: Limited controls might be present for basic operations like paper feed and power.

Connectivity Options:

• Standard: Parallel port for connection to a computer (a legacy interface, some models might require a separate adapter for use with modern PCs).
• Optional: Serial port (RS-232) might be available on some models for connection to older equipment.
