Description:
The 'i' in the model name denotes 'interface', or in other words, the ability of this typewriter to be connected to a PC and used as a printer.
I really like using these machines, and were it not for the proprietary carbon ribbon cartridge it requires, would use it a lot more often.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Compact i on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Compact i By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
