Epson FX-880T manual

The affordable alternative

for reliable multipart printing

With the firmware, software, and key features you need for virtually any multipart forms printing application, the economical EPSON

FX-880T is the ideal alternative to pricier models like the Okidata® Microline® 320 Turbo impact printer. With IBM® 2380 Plus

emulation right out of the box and additional EPSON ESC/P and Okidata Microline emulations, this affordable 9-pin printer is a convenient solution in most operating systems. It includes a standard Parallel interface and drivers for Windows® 3.1x, 95, 98, 2000, Me and NT 3.51/4.0. Optional interface cards are also available for enhanced connectivity that makes networking a snap in both Windows and non-Windows environments.

With speeds of up to 455 cps in high speed draft mode (at 12 cpi), the FX-880T blazes through each task with clarity and precision. It handles the most demanding print jobs with a printable area comparable to that of the ML320 Turbo. Top, bottom, and rear paper paths easily accommodate forms up to six parts thick, including receipts, packing slips, labels, reports, and more. And, it even includes a front paper path, giving you even more flexibility than that of competitive models. For added versatility, you can select from a variety of built-in fonts or character pitch options.

With a mean-time-between-failure rating of 10,000 power-on hours and a print head life of 200 million characters, this durable unit is backed by legendary Epson reliability. In fact, each FX-880T includes a two-year limited warranty, which outlasts that of many competitive products, including the ML320 Turbo. With the EPSON FX-880T, you get quality, performance and

peace of mind, all at a price that’s sure to please.
