- Ultra-portable printer which weighs around one pound (494g) with
- battery. Its size is only 10.4in x 1.18in x 2.17in (255mm x 30mm x
- 55mm). The printer is a direct thermal printer and so it needs
- special thermal paper. Pentax provides so-called "Pentax
- Quality Paper" which is much thicker and not so glossy as fax
- rolls, so one can probably use this printer even for
- correspondence. Due to the thermal printing the only moving part
- in it is the mechanics to advance the paper. this seems to be one
- important fact to get it so small.<p>
-
- The printer is not only intended to be used with notebook
- computers, but also with handhelds and PDAs. It has a parallel
- port built-in and one gets USB, IR, and serial adapters as option,
- and drivers for handhelds and PDAs are available.<p>
-
- This 300-dpi model is made more for notebooks, there is also the
- PocketJet 200 with 200 dpi which is more suitable for
- PDAs.<p>
-
- This printer is light, but not a "Paperweight". Rildo
- Pragana, the author of the "ml85p" driver (for the
- Samsung ML-85P laser winprinter), made a free software driver for
- this printer in cooperation with Pentax. So this you can really
- use this printer with your portable computer running a free
- operating system.
