FX-880+
Speed and talent - two things that make the Epson FX-880+ dot matrix printer a valuable partner for any business. Now you can race through the biggest jobs faster than ever. Print everything from receipts and tickets to continuous forms with labels, as well as high-quality invoice copies. The FX-880+ is also networkable, and features Status Monitoring to make it even easier to use. All this and more from a compact printer that doesn't put a dent in your budget.

Breathtaking speed

Getting the job done with time to spare is what the FX-880+ is all about. Tickets, receipts, invoices, and drafts are yours approximately 10% faster than with the previous model. You get a choice of speed settings, including super-fast output of an incredible 564 characters per second at 12 cpi in ultra speed draft, 396 cps at 12 cpi in draft, and 99 cps at 12 cpi in NLQ.

Allround paper handling versatility

The FX-880+ does it all, without the need for options. You can manually feed from the front or rear for top output, or use the tractor unit to feed continuous paper from the front, rear or bottom. Automatic cut sheet feed from the rear is also possible using the optional cut sheet feeder. The FX-880+'s versatility doesn't stop there. It's ready to print on a wide range of media, including envelopes, receipts, continuous forms with labels, and multi-part forms. Capabilities that make the FX-880+ ideal for everything from hospitals, factories, and transport companies, to restaurants and others.

High quality copies

Using the FX-880+'s detachable tractor unit there's no need to buy an optional unit - it lets you print 5 copies with one original from the front. The precision and quality of each copy is assured by the high impact pressure of the FX-880+'s 9-pin printhead, and Epson's proven technology providing exceptional layer registration.

Networkable

Naturally, the FX-880+ comes with a parallel interface plus, USB port. But you can also choose from a range of optional Type B interfaces for hook-up to an expanded network, enabling more people to take advantage of the FX-880's capabilities.

Status monitoring

The FX-880+ comes with software enabling bi-directional communication (under Microsoft Windows 95), with a direct printer host computer connection. When using this software, if you set your PC for monitoring, an error message is automatically displayed whenever a problem arises.
