FEATURES OF THE PRINTER
This printer is a compact, convenient, monochrome printer 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:
l 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-processing and graphics programs, spreadsheets, and integrated
software packages.
l 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 micro-alignment.
l Easy care and maintenance
The ribbon cartridge can be replaced in seconds; the print head in a few
minutes.
l 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.
l High-resolution letter-quality printing
When you select an LQ type style, the printer slows down and employs
a dense matrix of up to 24 by 35 dots to print clear, well-formed characters.
l Large variety of type styles and sizes
The printer has one draft style and four LQ styles (Courier, Prestige,
Orator, and Script), plus italics for all styles, plus condensed print, bold _
print, double-sized print, quadruple-sized print - see the samples on the
