Doing without dot matrix line printer

New CDK contract wants to remove all dot matrix line printers. We would only have laser printers. Can you print all necessary reports to a laser? I am referring to 132 character wide reports like MSR and month end job stack reports, etc.

YES TO EVERYTHING. I still am dumbfounded at finding these slow, unreliable dinosaurs in parts and service departments. The laser printers are 10-20 times faster than the line printers with much better print quality. The first time you run a report ifit prints with the right side data missing, a quick service chat request will have it corrected. Don't wait.

We made the laser printer our main printer, but we saved 1 dot matrix printer. We are on pay per click so if I have a very large report that I want to print I use the dot matrix so we don't have to pay for it.

LONG ago, in a store far, far away, I rid our store of the "greenbar" printers.

We create not only a STORE-S and STORE-I DSDA cabinet, but we also have STOREJOB-I and STOREJOB-S (as well as accounting and F&I), and we point ALL jobstacks at those cabinets. I have not physically printed a jobstack in almost 20 years.

You can also change your temp or perm printer to those dsda cabinets and archive every single report, ever..
