Apple Thermal Transfer printer

Great find. This has got to be one of the earliest apple printers...I've seen it is some early apple ads. Did thermal printer actually have heads? I thought the trick was in the paper. -Chandra -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Jeff Hellige Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2001 5:40 PM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Apple Thermal Transfer printer I walked out my door this afternoon to find an Apple Thermal Transfer printer sitting next to the garbage can outside of our building. It's model# A9M0306 and while I've seen plenty of Imagewriter's and other Apple printers, this is the first time I've come across one of these. I almost passed it up because at first glance it appeared to be just another 80 column dot matrix. Two things that caught my eye were the old multi-color Apple logo and the serial cable attacbed to it. It's missing whatever head/ribbon would be installed and I rescued it just minutes before a thunderstorm moved through. If anyone is interested in it, you're welcome to it for the cost of shipping. Otherwise I'll likely hold on to it. Jeff -- Collector of Classic Microcomputers and Video Game Systems: Home of the TRS-80 Model 2000 FAQ File http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/lakes/6757
