Description
The PRN-C41 is a 4 color plotter released by Sony in Japan in 1984 for use with the MSX and the (non-MSX) Sony SMC-777. The power supply is the AC-C41.
A set of replacement plotter pens was sold as the PRK-C41 (small) or PRK-C42 (big).
It has an international or Japanese MSX character set depending on the region it was sold in.
You can convert it into a Kanji printer by adding the PRN-K41 Kanji-ROM board.
The version for the German market was the PRN-C41D. The difference with the regular European PRN-C41 is presumably that the German version replaces the zero (0) character from the International MSX character set with the German DIN variation. The difference therefore would be pretty much unnoticeable.
