Ganson Low Cost Commercial Matrix Printers

2140 Series

Fast, Functional, Frugal

Printing invoices, shipping bills, car code labels and reports can be critical to the bottom line, and demande no-nonsense performance. The 2040 and 2140 serial matrix printers from Ganson deliver much more than their price tag implies. At 480 CPS – 400 pages per hour – and workloads to 16,000 pages per month they’ll meet the toughest deadlines.

Load Up to Three Different Forms

Every feature of this powerful pair has been calibrated for optimum "mission critical" printing. For starters, three different forms can be loaded simultaneously. A standard front push tractor and straight paper path load robust 6-part forms with zero waste...zero skewing...zero jams. Optionally, a second front and rear tractor can handle 6-part and 2-part forms respectively.

At Home just about Anywhere

Whether the situation requires the small 80-column footprint of the 2040 or the 136 column capacity of the 2140, their rugged design and quiet 53dB(A) operation make them suited for the warehouse, the shipping dock or the Accounting department. These printers offer back-room durability – a hefty 10,000 hours MTBF and rugged design – combined with front office, 24 wire print quality.

With 8 resident fonts, 15 industry standard bar codes, two hot auto-switching interfaces, auto gap adjustment and much more, the 2040 and 2140 serial matrix printers are suffering from delusions of grandeur, and we couldn’t be more pleased. As long as they act like the high-priced guys, why should we tell them the truth?
