High performance serial printers with exceptional paper handling versatility.


A Heavy Duty Designed Printer
Designed for heavy duty requirements, the 3811 serial matrix printer delivers outstanding performance at speeds up to 1100 CPS. Designed for the general data processing market, this new model is an extension of GENICOM's well-known 3800 serial printer family.

Simplicity Meets Advanced Technology
The simplicity of design incorporates advanced print head technology, with a head life of two (2) times that of other products. Dual paper path with optional second tractors make light work of even your largest print runs. The advanced paper handling, two forms loaded up to 1+7-part, and resident barcode fonts make it the ideal choice for multiple-part form printing on both the manufacturing floor and in warehouse applications. Other markets include healthcare, retail, and transportation with mid to high-end application printing needs.

Features That Save You Time ...
The GENICOM 3811 printer can do your mission-critical printing using several timesaving features, including automatic forms thickness sensing and adjustment, automatic paper park, and automatic top of form.

These printers require no preventive maintenance and have high MTBF ratings of up to 10,000 hours. The bottom line? Less downtime which means your work is done on schedule.

... And Is Easy To Connect
The 3811 offers an externally accessible plugable I/O slot for optional connectivity, such as 10/100 Ethernet and IBM TX/CX, providing flexible system connectivity.

And zero-inch tear-off reduces paper waste and decreases paper cost.
