I used to feed the output back thru the bottom and tape it in a loop. Then print the entire Websters dictionary. 👍😎
Just cuz its old doesn't mean it can't be fun!
Ever seen a dot matrix printer head burst into flames? 🤣

Hey - don't knock the Old Iron. Here's one I used to operate and work on when I was in the Air Force back in the '80s. Used to print payroll checks (before Direct Deposit), LESs, mid-month pay notices, assignment rips, you name it.

It would print about 3 pages per minute with the cover open, but you could hear it over the mainframes in the next building over. Close the cover and it would rip through a 5000-page box of flat-fold in 10 minutes at 20ppm... providing it didn't jam up, of course.

Good times.

That reminds me of print shop in high school. But those printing presses were ancient. Fun stuff though getting them running and seeing them run.
