Can anyone identify this printer? Here's what I remember about it. All of this is fuzzy: * Bought around 1990. I think I purchased it from DAK. * Daisy wheel printer * It had a left-edge of paper sensor, so you could just drop in a piece of paper and it figured where the edge was. * Cool dual-font daisy wheel. I think it contained normal and italics on one print wheel. * The name *might* read "Advantage D80." That rings a faint bell in my head, but I can't find any info about it. Thanks!

Maybe a Diablo 630? They were very popular. The manual single sheet feeder would do what you're describing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_630 On Mon, Aug 24, 2026 at 11:47 AM David Hayden via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Thanks. I don't think it's a 630 because that has the buttons on the front and mine had the little button panel on the top. Dave On 8/24/2026 11:54 AM, Dave Shevett wrote:
