Introduction
The LQ-2550 is the latest in the Epson@ line of advanced 24-pin impact
dot matrix printers, combining high performance and reliability with a
wide range of features.
Features
In addition to the high-quality printing and ease of operation you have
come to expect from Epson printers, the LQ-2550 offers the following:
An improved control panel design that allows direct selection of all
of the printer's main features, such as character font and pitch as well
as normal or condensed printing.
An advanced paper handling system that allows you to easily switch
between single sheets and continuous paper by pressing the
appropriate panel buttons. The LQ-2550 automatically detects the
thickness of the paper you load, so optimum printing results can be
easily achieved with various types of paper. You can use single sheets
without removing the continuous paper, or you can use continuous
paper even while the optional Cut Sheet Feeder is installed.
A tear-off feature that saves paper. After you tear off the latest sheet
printed on continuous paper, the printer feeds the paper back to the
loading position so that you can use all of the next sheet.
Multi-part forms that consist of up to six parts (5 copies plus the
original) can be printed. You can also print on labels and envelopes.
A micro-adjustment feature that allows you to feed the paper
forward or backward in 1/180th of an inch increments to finely
adjust the top of form, loading, and short tear-off positions.
The following seven built-in Letter Quality fonts are provided for
producing high-quality documents:
Roman, Sans Serif, Courier, Prestige,
Script, OCR-A, OCR-B
