The
PC-100C printing cradle followed the PC-100A soon. It can be used with the
TI-58, TI-58C and
TI-59. 
Its thermal printer has 64 alphabetic, numeric and special characters which can be printed at the
rate of 60 characters per second. Up to 20 characters can be printed per line on
2.5 inch wide thermal paper.
The PC-100C can also be used to print, list or trace program steps as an aid to
debugging.
The PC-100C cradle also had some more features than just the printer. It functions as a power-adapter and also has a
storage/ charging compartment where you can charge the battery pack. The calculator (and batterypack
compartment) is locked solidly to the cradle with the use of a key.
