About

Impact Printing

9-pin printers print faster and can print more

copies of forms at once.

Epson’s DFX printer uses four sets of 9 pins

for the fastest printing.

24-pin printer print sharper, more

detailed text.

Heavy-Duty printers are faster and

handle thicker forms and larger

workloads with ease.

Print speed is measured in cps (characters

per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch).

The higher the cps, the faster the printing.

The more paper paths, the more flexibility.

Tractor feeds handle continuous paper and

multi-part forms, friction feeds handle single

sheets, envelopes and postcards; straight

paper paths accommodate heavier stock

without bending or jamming.

Epson’s DFX and LQ-680Pro printers use

advanced APG (Automatic Platen Gap)

technology to automatically adjust print head

position to prevent damage to the pins from

unnecessary force.

Epson impact printers support windows

operating systems. Software drivers come

standard or are available at www.epson.com

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 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.

Optional equipment

A comprehensive range of Epson

paper handling options includes:
