The line 101 model has three writing passes and a maximum printing speed of 12 characters per second. The design of the bodywork is in plastic material with a hinged lid and a single sheet-turning knob positioned to the left of the bodywork was worked by Mario Bellini, Michele de Lucchi and Alessandro Schierato.
