Epson is the world''s largest manufacturer of dot matrix printers with a product range that offers the ultimate in high speed, low cost, reliable and durable printing across all stationery types. Impact printing is the ideal solution for printing drafts, high-volume data processing and multi-part stationery, for which there is simply no alternative. Offering an unequaled variety of products spanning all requirement levels, from small to large print volumes, the Epson dot matrix range enables you to strike exactly the right balance between capability, performance and cost.
The Epson LQ-680 features rugged Epson construction that ensures reliability, whilst the print head life and total volume have been extended to suit even the most demanding of environments. Paper handling versatility is evident with three-way paper handling from the front, rear or top together with crisp, clear output achievable on multi-part forms of up to six copies. Improved front-in, front-out paper handling ensures that front-loaded cut sheet paper and single-sheet, multi-part forms emerge right-side up for instant legibility, whilst two optional cut-sheet feeders can also be added simply and easily for the convenience of pre-loading paper.
