<br>
* Early unihammer printer (with 7-dot columns)
* Very slow, with rather crude character set (without underlengths and without NLQ)
* Supports only 9 control codes (not compatible with Epsons or other standards)
<br style="clear:both;">
* The NLQ401 is a 9pin printer with NLQ und underlength support (thus much better than the DMP1). The NLQ character set is defined in very high horizontal resolution (even better than the NLQ sets in later DMP2000..DMP3000 models).
* Unlike DMP1 and DMP2000..3000, the NLQ401 doesn't include a SRAM chip (so data can be buffered only in a portion of the CPU's on-chip 256-byte RAM).
* Supports some custom control codes mixed with some Epson codes, but isn't actually Epson compatible (a couple of Epson codes are missing, and Epson graphics codes are crippled to 7bit).
<br style="clear:both;">
* Like the DMP3160, it prints only 160 CPS (not 250 CPS)
* Slightly redesigned case (bigger transparent plastic lid, and metal stands moved from left/right to front/back side)
* Dated around 1990 (MJC Supplies started to offer DMP3250 ribbons in ACU Oct 1990)
<br style="clear:both;">
* Laser Printer (from Amstrad GmbH, for german market only)
* This is a rebadged '''Sharp''' printer that emulates an '''HP Laserjet II'''

* '''SP200''' (Amstrad) (19xx) [[:Image:Sinclair SP200 different views.jpg|other pictures]]
* The official printer for Amstrad's ''Sinclair PC 200''
* Seems to be a rebadged DMP2xxx or DMP3xxx printer
* Unknown if it contains a customized firmware version.
