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.

This adaptability allows businesses to execute a wide range of printing tasks without requiring multiple devices, streamlining workflows and reducing costs.

Connectivity is also an essential aspect of the LX-1170. It features parallel and serial interfaces, providing compatibility with various systems and enabling easy integration into existing setups. This ensures that businesses can implement the printer within their current infrastructure without the need for extensive modifications.

Furthermore, the LX-1170 is designed with user-friendly features, including a straightforward control panel and easy-to-navigate settings. This simplicity ensures that operators can quickly set up and manage printing jobs, enhancing overall productivity.
