load, the ML184 Turbo sets an
impressive pace.

Select any of four speed 

settings and get a quality product
in less time. Fastest is the blazing
300 cps “Super Speed” Draft
mode, followed by the
240 cps High-Speed
Draft, 200 cps
Utility, and
the Near-
Letter Quality
of 50 cps.

If you process

your information
over long distances,
the ML184 Turbo
can save you time and needless
additional expense. With its fast
RS-232C serial interface you can
boost productivity at a 19.2K
baud rate, and support XON/ -
XOFF and Ready/Busy protocols.

The printer has a small foot-

print that makes it ideal for use in
your system configuration. It also

offers the ultimate in ease-of-use,
with up-front control of type
size, print quality and other 

frequently used functions.

A “lockout” feature

prevents

abuse by 

disabling the

printer’s front 

panel pitch and

mode selectors.

OKI provides the

edge in quality and 

reliability no competing

printer can claim. It’s

the reassurance that comes

with years of innovation

and dependable service. And the
backing of a full-year warranty
and a network of authorized 
OKI Dealer Service Centers 
and Service Depots.
