Back catalogue – LQ-670
The flatbed design of Epson LQ-670 offers everything you have been waiting for in a printer. High speed, outstanding precision and Epson's reliability. Add to this the front output convenience and total paper handling versatility, and you have a printer ready to deliver the performance you need, day in, day out - the 24-pin Epson LQ-670.
Printing This Fast
While allowing you take full advantage of your most sophisticated computer software, the Epson LQ-670 gives you high quality printouts faster than ever. The key to this exceptional speed is Epson's latest 24-pin narrow carriage printer technology. With an improved printhead, printhead motor and paper feed motor, the Epson LQ-670 delivers 300cps at 10cpi in high-speed draft, and 83cps at 10 cpi in LQ - faster by far than any other printer in its class.
Printing This Precise
The direct paper path, together with the high impact pressure of the longlife 24-pin printhead, ensure that when you're printing a form and four copies, the last copy is just as clear and legible as the original.
Advanced Epson engineering delivers precision dot placement for higher print quality, eliminating misprints for a dramatic cut in wasted paper.
Printing This Versatile
Need to print one original plus four copies? You've got it. And a lot more. Because the Epson LQ-670 handles almost any paper you're likely to use. Use the front manual sheet feeder when printing envelopes, receipts and forms. Or the rear continuous paper tractor feeder to meet the printing needs of car rental, transportation, insurance, delivery and other businesses. For extra flexibility, there's also the optional rear cut sheet feeder for applications such as cheque printing. Whichever paper feed method you choose, the LQ-670's direct path horizontal feed design assures accurate printing without crooked lines or smearing. And the output is just where you want it - at the front.
Simple, Environment-Friendly Design
Rugged, no-fuss design and build is the secret of the LQ-670's reliability. Epson's design policy also assures that it is made of non-toxic, easily recycled materials.
