The GP-50s is a plain paper, dot matrix printer capable of producing up to 40 characters per second, across a maximum of 46 columns of which the middle 32 are being used, giving the output wide margins at either side.
The maximum paper width that can be used is 5″, and the printer came fitted with a ZX Spectrum compatible cable/interface. Being a dot matrix design, it was significantly more noisy in use than the thermal alternatives, but the attached ‘flip-over’ paper cover helped reduce this somewhat during use. A manual paper-feed allows paper to be finely aligned.
