Amstrad's second printer, the successor to the [[Amstrad DMP1 printer|DMP1]] printer.
In reality this printer was a repacking of the Riteman+ printer.== General Specifications ==
For (detailed) general information about Amstrad/Scheider printers, see:{{AmstradPrinterLinks}} == Technical specs The built-in font == The font is stored so that each byte is a column of the character.And stored so that the rom is read in incrementing order in order to draw the char. <gallery caption="DMP 2000 Font"> Image:Dmp2000font.png|The font with position markersImage:Dmp2000font2.png|The pure font</gallery>

== Riteman Plus ==
There are (at least some) relations to Riteman+ plus printers:
* The DMP2000 accepts Riteman ribbon cassettes
* The shape of the case of DMP2xxx/DMP3xxxx series does resemble the Riteman models (although it isn't identical; the front of the Ritemans has a short horizontal edge, then followed by what looks like as a steeper diagonal edge - look at the photos to see for yourself)
* Unknown if the Riteman's internal PCB, mechanics, and Firmware do have relations to Amstrad models.
* According to the [[:File:ACU8511-042.jpg|ACU review]]: the DMP2000 is "based on" the "Riteman F".

* The [[Dart Scanner for DMP-Printers]] from [[Dart Electronics]] is a add-on for DMP2000/3000 printers, the scanner optics are attached to the printer head.
* The [[DMP2000/3000 Buffer Upgrade Kit]] from [[Goldmark Systems]] is a RAM expansion for DMP2000printers. == Hardware Notes == The mainboard contains a [[uPD7810/uPD7811|uPD7811]] CPU (marked "Amstrad 40036") with built-in 4K ROM, which contains reset/irq vectors and draft character set. Most of the actual program code and the NLQ character set are located in a separate 16K ROM/EPROM. The same mainboard (with additional ROM) is also used in [[DMP3000 printers]] models.
