Please dump the printer BIOS ROMs! Contained character sets & machine code may become useful for emulation & necrophile research...
If you do, please also take a photo of the printer PCB.

• DMP2000 ROM Image (16K EPROM, not including the 4K ROM located inside of the CPU) (dumped from a spanish printer, but should be same for all countries)
