Features

In addition to the high quality printing and ease of operation you’ve come to expect from Epson printers, the LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050 offer the following:

An advanced paper handling system that lets you use single sheets of paper without removing the continuous paper. This system allows you to use continuous paper even while the optional cut sheet feeder is attached.

A new short tear-off feature that saves paper. After you tear off the last sheet printed on continuous paper, the printer reverses the paper so that you can use all of the next sheet.

A micro-adjustment feature that allows you to feed the paper forward or backward in 1/180th of an inch increments to finely adjust the loading and short tear-off positions.

Reduced noise levels.

An improved control panel design that allows direct selection of

character fonts and pitch, as well as a choice of normal or condensed printing.

Draft mode with fast printing of up to 264 characters per second in 12 cpi.

A Letter Quality mode for producing high quality documents.

The ability to handle a wide range of paper types. The optional cut sheet feeder can automatically feed single sheets and envelopes.
