LX-300
The Epson FX-300 is designed to satisfy the special needs of 9-pin dot matrix printer users. In the crucial categories of speed, dependability and convenience, the LX-300 offers unsurpassed performance. Put it to work in your home or business, and rest assured, the LX-300 will get the job done.

The LX-300 offers fast draft and near letter quality printing, a convertible push/pull tractor, colour upgradeability (either now or in the future), standard serial and parallel interfaces with built-in auto switching (a feature usually only found in laser printers) and quieter operation, just to mention a few key features. A very versatile printer, the LX-300 has a very small footprint so it takes up minimal desk space and is ideal for home, home office, education and small business use.

The LX-300 is easy to use and has excellent paper handling capabilities, including the ability to load single A4 cut sheets, continuous stationery, envelopes, multi-part stationery and labels. The paper parking function ensures easy loading and unloading of continuous stationery and no wastage of the first sheet. Standard paper handling can be enhanced with the addition of the optional second tractor of the single bin cut sheet feeder.

With all the features one would want in a 9-pin printer, including a very affordable price, the LX-300 beats the competition hands down and is the top selling 9-pin printer in the market.
