About Each Printer
The #FujiNet emulates a wide variety of printers, rendering each into an output format appropriate for each printer type, usually PDF.
The Atari 820 is a printer made by Atari from 1979 until 1982. It was Atari's first released printer, and has styling to match the Atari 810 disk drive, very closely.
It plugs directly into the SIO port, and has a pass-through connector for daisy-chaining other peripherals.
It uses a standard adding-machine roll paper 3 3/4" in diameter, which allows for 40 columns of text in normal orientation.
There is a sideways mode, which prints each character flipped 90 degrees on its side relative to the top of the paper.
The Atari 822 is a thermal printer that Atari licensed from Trendcom from 1980 until 1982. It uses special thermal paper, which reacts with heat emitted from the print head to form the dots on the paper. Because of this, it was very silent, compared to dot matrix and daisy wheel printers.
The Atari 822 was unique of all the Atari printers for its ability to print bitmapped graphics of approximately 280 dots across.
