HistoryEdit
Printronix was founded in 1974 by Robert A. Kleist and business partners Gordon B. Barrus and David Mayne.
Barrus realized there was a capital need for businesses to store all their data via printing, so he quit his job at Data Products and started a company he named Eikon, marketing industrial-grade printers to businesses to fulfill this need. The company was not successful and Gordon regrouped to found the startup Printronix. In the spring of 1974, in a garage in Playa del Rey, California, seven high technology pioneers got together and started a new company. They were Gordon Barrus (RIP), Leo Emenaker (RIP), Robert A Kleist, Dave Mayne, Ray Melissa, Rafael Patiño and Glen Radke (RIP). <ref>https://www.linkedin.com/posts/printronix_in-the-spring-of-1974-in-a-garage-in-playa-activity-7187087334297718785-_Yrf/</ref> Initially working out of Leo Emenaker's garage in Playa Del Rey, California, Barrus developed and invented what he christened as the P300, a 300-line-per-minute (LPM) prototype line printer<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> series.
The company would eventually incorporate, go public on the Nasdaq, and experience great success in the ensuing years with the emergence of the personal computer.
