We currently have a Okidata 320 Turbo Tractor Feed Printer. This says it is the newer one. Does it print faster and is it compatiable?

The 320 has 3 speeds that can be controlled with the buttons on the face or by the program. HSD is the fastest. UTL is in the middle. NLQ (near letter quality) is the slowest.The ML420 is a little faster and has 4 speeds.The other 2 responses are right on with their comments.If you are printing a lot of pages one page after another a laser printer is faster and quitter but the cost per page and the time of maintaining the printer will go up dramatically. The life of a laser printer is less then a forth of the life of a ML.

Dear Lori,The printer uses the same ribbon (9-Pin) as the 320 Turbo but the construction is more robust. I can print through 5-6 page documents with ease. I am a Commercial Account Manager in the Automotive Business. To get more utility out of a dot matrix printer, I would have to to spend three times as much moneyas I did on the Okidata 420. Hope this helps you make a decision!Regards, Jim E.

We only use ours once in a blue moon and it seems fast in my view. As far as the compatibility is concern, I have no idea. Thanks

Yes, the 420 is faster, quieter and compatible with both 320 software and hardware.
1862219
i would say yes a little faster. we have 7 420's and love them. they are work horses requiring very little attention and are easy to set up. well you know you got a 320.

J, I contacted Brother and then Buffalo Technologies directly. I found that the Buffalo/Techworks part number had changed. It is now PM133-512 and can be found using the memory configuator on the middle of the page at: http://www.buffalotech.com/products/memory/ It costs about $114.75 plus shipping there. However, after MUCH searching (including EBay, Amazon, Newegg & MANY others), I also found a guaranteed compatible memory module for about 1/2 the price. goto: http://www.oempcworld.com Then search for 512M-SO133 or (all on one line) its: http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=144pin&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=512M-SO133 There its about $69.85 plus $1 insurance and free shipping. Before ordering, I spoke to OEMPCWORLD and they guaranteed that their chip would work or my money back. I ordered it, got it a few days later, installed it and it worked PERFECTLY. I even called Brother to see how I could be POSITIVE it was working and after several tries, they figured out the instructions to get the printer to print out its memory report. Prior to installation it showed 128mb (on lower right of page at bottom - hard to find, but its there) and after installation, it showed 640mb so the machine recognized the new 512mb SODIMM module and its been fine ever since. By the way, the Brother 9840cdw is a really GREAT Machine, too. I love using it and the print quality is pretty awesome.

I have the wf-3540, but as far as I know, they share the same hardware.It works perfect once it is installed but given that the catridges-heads assembly is not fixed, you will have to find the best path to route the ink tubiings, so they doesn't interfere.If you don't already have the printer, I suggest you get one with non-moving cartridges (some Brother models). It is much easier to install. Check reviews on Amazon.

It seems that XP 310 will reject at least some of the generics. I'm experimenting with the ink and the printer does not seem to recognize the new cartridge. We shall see how it pans out later... One thing for sure is that this does not seem to be plug-n-play. :(

I don't have that printer. I have a brothers printer and it works fine. If it doesn't work for you, you can return it.

Just to confirm. It does NOT work with any other Epson scanners than what is listed in the prior post. Even the newer Epson scanners replacing those discontinued models are NOT compatible. I mistakenly purchased a V500 with the feeder, and it didn't recognize it. A long call to Epson support confirmed that they do not have any models for the feeder at this time, and recommended I keep watching their site in case that changes.

The one I had (has since been thrown away) always had a slow printing/copying speed. I am not a techi-person, but it sounds like it is inherent in this particular make/model. I also had a problem with the print heads which would have been more costly to replace than to just get a whole new unit (which I originally paid big bucks for) so I ultimately just threw it out, sad to say. I had high hopes for this unit, but like so many things like this, they often disappoint. And, it was not overly used or abused either. Sorry I can't tell you more.

I have the MG5220 printer and it works very well with mine. It's the best deal available today..... I love it and it last me a good while..

I have a C309g-m, which was cheaper and is a grotesque piece of garbage, in every way possible. I don't know anything about yours, so can't offer an opinion except to say I'll never buy an HP printer again. I had to get rid of a great Cannon printer that was perfect, but could not attach it to my new HP. Always a new rip off just around the corner. Good luck keeping that pig in ink.

I am not sure if it is the proper one for your printer; however, I strongly suggest that you go through Kodak to reorder your printhead. The one I ordered online didn't work and was ten dollars more expensive. I went straight to Kodak paid ten dollars less and my printer was up and running within 24 hours of placing the order.

It shouldn't make a difference. I personally use a cartridge fed printer but don't see why it wouldn't work on a straight pull or direct feed printer.

I think they made some upgrades and this is the old version. Upgrade has a guide tube for the extruder that this one doesn't have. I've noticed if the filament isn't kept strait on mine it can stop feeding.

Marisa: I was concerned as I read comments about paper feed problems with Brother printers. I have two printers and they have been wonderful with no paper feed problems. I buy cartridges on ebay (5 for a little over $5.00) and they work well, so printing is very cheap. I really like the printers and recommend them.Bill

The paper feed is really good. However I suggest that if you are printing on cheaper 20lb copy paper you should fan the paper stack before placing it in the feed tray. Most paper feed problems are not the fault of the printer but rather the fault of the paper - such as the leading feed edge becoming wavy (for want of a better word....) from humidity. We have many Brother printers and they all perform flawlessly. We use isopropyl alcohol to clean the input feed/roller/s every 2-3months by swabbing it with a clean cloth. Don't use a cotton bud or any paper towels as they can leave small fibers on the corona wires, fuse rollers etc. Hope this helps.M The paper feed is really good.

Yes it is. If the disc the software comes on doesn't show so, which it should, then just download the software straight from the Hp website where you will find it for sure. I use it on Dp and 7 but it States it will run on 8. But if you want to be 100% sure just call Hp tech support and ask or if you can find this same model in a store you can check its compatibility thereAlso I have never had a problem with the paper feed or any aspect of this printer. Treat you machines right and they work just fine for you↓↓

Can not say exactly as we are still on the original starter cartridge which seems to be lasting a long time. Seems longer than the 12A on our old HP1020. I realize this is not an exact answer. However, we are super pleased with the overall quality and service of our MF3010. Nice scanner and copier also. Hope this belays some doubts. Thanks for listening.
