FEATURES OF THE PRINTER

This printer is a compact, convenient, monochrome printer without frills but with a full complement of features, making it an excellent partner for a personal computer. It supports the IBM/Epson printer commands and character sets, enabling it to print just about anything your computer can generate, both text and graphics. Some of its main features are the following:

•Extensive software support

Since it is compatible with the Epson and IBM printers, it works with any software that supports those printers. That includes most word-pro- cessing and graphics programs, spreadsheets, and integrated software packages.

•Easy operation

Clearly understandable lamp displays and beep tones provide immediate feedback when you press the switches on the control panel. The four switches can operate in combinations to perform a surprising variety of functions, including margin setting and micro-alignment.

•Easy care and maintenance

The ribbon cartridge can be replaced in seconds; the print head in a few minutes.

•Versatile paper handling

Single sheets, fanfold forms, and multi-copy forms (up to triple-ply) are all accepted, and you can use either tractor or friction feed. A special feature enables you to keep fanfold forms parked in readiness while printing on other paper.

• High-resolution near-letter-quality printing

When you select an NLQ type style, the printer slows down and employs a dense matrix of up to 18 by 23 dots to print clear, well-formed characters.

•Large variety of type styles and sizes

The printer has one draft style and four NLQ styles (Courier, Sanserif, and Orator with small capitals or lower case), plus italics for all styles, plus condensed print, bold print, double-sized print, quadruple-sized print - see the samples on the next page:
