The IBM 2741 is a printing computer terminal that was introduced in 1965.[1] Compared to the teletypewriter machines that were commonly used as printing terminals at the time, the 2741 offers 50% higher speed, much higher quality printing, quieter operation, interchangeable type fonts, and both upper and lower case letters.
It was used primarily with the IBM System/360 series of computers, but was used with other IBM and non-IBM systems where its combination of higher speed and letter-quality output was desirable.[2][3][4] It was influential in the development and popularity of the APL programming language.
It was supplanted, starting in the mid-1970s, primarily by printing terminals using daisy wheel mechanisms.
