The IBM 1443 Printer (sometimes referred to as the 1443 Flying Type Bar Printer[1]) is an obsolete computer line printer used in the punched card era. It was offered in three models: Models 1, 2 and N1; the last two could print up to 240 lines per minute (LPM) with a full character set.[2][3][4]

The 1443 was initially introduced October 11, 1962 for use with the IBM 1440 system and withdrawn February 8, 1971.[5] It was announced in 1963 for the 1620 system. The printer could also be used on the IBM 1620[2] (announced 1963[6]), IBM 1710,[2] IBM 1800[7] and System/360.[3]

Decades later IBM recycled the 1443 model number to refer to a different product.[8]
