LX-1170 specifications

The Epson LX-1170 is a versatile and high-performance dot matrix printer designed primarily for business applications that require robust printing capabilities. Renowned for its reliability, the LX-1170 is ideal for environments where continuous, high-volume printing is necessary, such as in manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing.
