commercial, industrial and logistic applica­tions – including data processing, in­voicing, stock requisitions, cheque runs,

Epson 24-pin dot matrix printers

Offering all the features available across
the Epson 9-pin range, but with the
addition of scalable fonts and letter
quality, for superior print quality, Epson
24-pin printers are ideal for front desk
applications in the retail and service
industries, and for tasks such as invoice

The range is further enhanced with flat­bed printers that enable 24-pin printing to
be achieved on less flexible materials and

such as receipts and label printing.

printers with a product range that offers the ultimate

Motorised sheet feeders

For high volume cut sheet printing,
optional motorised cut sheet feeders
are available for selected products, like
the 150 sheet cut sheet feeder for the
Epson LQ-2180. Equipped with produc­tivity enhancing, independent motor
drives, these feeders reduce paper
handling time and ensure optimum paper
throughput.

Paper feed tractors

A choice of push, pull, and push/ pull
combined tractors not only enable more
than one stationery type to be per­manently loaded for delivery on demand,
but handle continuous and multi-part
stationery more efficiently.

Roll paper holder

This provides an inexpensive alternative
to using continuous roll paper for
applications requiring variable paper
lengths.

*Using Epson paper handling options

In their paper handling versatility, Epson dot matrix
printers really excel. Advanced models offer paper
feeding from up to six paper sources*, and enable up
to four types of stationery to be held ‘on call.’ What’s
more, when space is at a premium, multi-path paper
feed gives you flexibility to position your printer with­out compromising its functionality.

• Cut sheet manual feed front in –

• Optional 150 sheet cut sheet feeder

• Optional 50 sheet cut sheet feeder

Compatibility – ESC/P2

ESC/P (Epson Software Command /
Printers) is the defacto standard dot
matrix printer control language, world­wide. Adopted in the vast majority of
popular software packages, ESC/P
enables you to plug straight in – and
print. The versatility and quality of Epson
impact printing is further extended by
ESC/P2 which enables Epson 24-pin
printers to achieve scalable fonts and
high resolution graphics.

Fully compatible with existing software,
ESC/P2 is designed for use with non
Windows

®

operating systems, enabling
you to achieve font manipulation without
the need for costly on-board processors.
If you are working within the Windows

®

environment you will be able to achieve
your printer’s maximum speed by using
printer resident fonts.

Connectivity

Epson connectivity goes far beyond USB,
parallel and serial interfaces. Where
Epson impact printers are required to
serve either as a shared resource or as a
personal printer within IBM or mainframe
environments, we offer Ethernet and
Wireless 802.11b. Epson discontinued
our Twinax, Coax and LocalTalk last
year due to non ROSHH compliance.

For full details of interfacing options
please refer to the options and
specifications tables at the back of this
brochure.

Epson supplies

Your Epson dot matrix printer demands
Epson ribbons for high performance.
Designed to withstand the stresses
of everyday use, Epson ribbons come
in three types – fabric, film and colour.

Epson fabric ribbons are highly durable
and hold an exact charge of ink to ensure
clear characters with no splattering.
To minimise printhead wear, Epson ink
includes lubricating oils.

Epson film ribbons are plastic, coated
on one side with ink to give clear, crisp
characters of letter quality output.

Colour printing

Colour printing highlights important
information and gives clarity to forms.
Epson colour ribbons are ultra tough
and produce colourful results without
bleed or smudging. An easily installed
colour upgrade is available for selected
printers. For full details of printing
options please refer to the options
and specifications tables at the back
of this brochure.
