- Symbiote 5y agoI saw a dot matrix printer logging the chemical composition of the flue gas at a chemical research place in about 2002. That kind of thing is probably fairly common in the industry.
- cameron_b 5y agoDot matrix printers still make up a lot of the flight manifest printers at airport gates. Listen for them right before they close the doors. They print off the list of passengers checked in as boarded
- h2odragon 5y agoI want to say it was probably installed in '85 and I saw it in '94; but i wouldn't swear to those dates. I'm pretty sure it was the only dot matrix printer with a serial port i ever saw. Even daisy wheels were parallel port by the time this went in; but they had a like 50ft cable to move it to the other room. Someone worked hard and paid large to set that up originally.
