1027 LQ Printer Emulation?


Recommended Posts

I had an Atari 1027 printer back in the day, and it quickly broke. In fact, I recall probably only successfully printing a handful of pages, something which was very annoying and apparently common.

 

I remember the letters were slightly offset from each other and didn't quite line up. It also made a terrible noise when printing. Were these faults or usual behaviour?

 

Is there any sort of emulation? Maybe a true type fonts of the pseudo-daisy wheel character set? Or a way of printing them to a PDF under emulation or real hardware?

If you have a FujiNet then it can emulate a 1027 output style (just like with 1025 and 1029). Probably all original 1027s are dead so far due to desintegration the printing heads.

when working perfectly, the 1027 lined up very well, but still made a heck of a noise as it smacked the paper into the print head. The noise was normal.

If not well maintained the 1027 could look like a serial killer as the characters would be above or below registration all over the place! clean and oil the beast! Adjust it!
