EPSON LX-300+ II 9 pins Dot Matrix Printer

Maximum Productivity in Demanding Print Environments
The LX-300+ features not only fast print speeds; 337 cps in high speed draft mode at 12cpi, but also versatile and advanced paper handling capabilities including three paper paths and push or pull tractor combinations. The addition of a bottom paper path further advances paper-handling as the paper rolls less during feed enabling thick media and labels to be printed with ease.

The copy capability of an original plus four copies means that the LX-300+ is also suitable for a wide variety of standalone printing environments from distribution through to finance; areas traditionally reserved for higher specification machines.

The reliability and ruggedness of the LX-300+ has been greatly improved when compared to previous entry level dot matrix printers, and energy efficiency has also been significantly enhanced.

Standard Serial and Parallel interfaces are included allowing flexible standalone connectivity.

A color upgrade option is available for the LX-300+ whilst further paper handling flexibility is achieved through an optional roll paper holder, 50 sheet single bin cut sheet feeder and pull tractor unit.
