Amstrad's second printer, the successor to the DMP1 printer.

Technical specs

The built-in font

The font is stored so that each byte is a column of the character. And stored so that the rom is read in incrementing order in order to draw the char.

Pictures

Riteman Plus

There are (at least some) relations to Riteman+ plus printers:

  • The DMP2000 accepts Riteman ribbon cassettes
  • The shape of the case of DMP2xxx/DMP3xxxx series does resemble the Riteman models (although it isn't identical; the front of the Ritemans has a short horizontal edge, then followed by what looks like as a steeper diagonal edge - look at the photos to see for yourself)
  • Unknown if the Riteman's internal PCB, mechanics, and Firmware do have relations to Amstrad models.
  • According to the ACU review: the DMP2000 is "based on" the "Riteman F".
