Talk:Page printer

too PC-centric
This article seems very PC-centric, talking only about the little page printers used with PC's, while ignoring the 10 year history of mainframe page printers. Like the Xerox 8700 (released in 1977) or the IBM 3800 (announced in 1976, but not actually delivered until later in 1977. T-bonham (talk) 23:38, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I've added this article to AfD because it seems to not meet Wikipedia is not a dictionary. See the AfD page--Wikiwriter706 01:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC).

Improving
I'll try to expand, improve, and er... destub it. Pål Jensen (talk) 10:18, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

The term "page printer" has another usage. This article contrasts devices like laser printers with computer line printers. However, such devices as the Model 19 Teletype were also called "page printers", to contrast them with printing telegraphs that printed a continuous single line of text on a narrow ribbon of paper. -- Quadibloc (talk) 17:08, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * While it used the name Teletype Model 19 KSR Page Printer, it is not a page printer in the current sense, that is; a printer that prints an entire page at a time and no less. The Model 19 is a serial printer in that it prints one character after the other. --  Gadget850talk 17:23, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I edited this article, mostly trying to improve syntax and add a few links, but I also made some deletions (mostly redundancies) and a few additions. Peter Flass (talk) 00:12, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Sterling Morton and Howard Krum
I deleted the following unreferenced statement The page printer was jointly developed (circa 1900) and patented in 1924 by Sterling Morton and Howard Krum. I think Morton and Krum were founders of Teletype, but surely 1900 is far too early. Peter Flass (talk) 00:21, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
