Epson FX-1050 User Manual - Page 6

Introduction The FX-850 and FX-1050 printers combine all the well-known features of previous Epson® 9-pin printers with many features normally exclusive to costly 24-pin printers. Features In addition to the high-quality printing and ease of operation you've come to expect from Epson printers, the FX-850 and FX-1050 offer the following: An advanced paper handling system that lets you use single sheets of paper without removing the continuous paper. This system allows you to use continuous paper even while the optional cut sheet feeder is attached. A new short tear-off feature that saves paper. After you tear off the last sheet printed on continuous paper, the printer reverses the paper so that you can use all of the next sheet. A micro-adjustment feature that allows you to feed the paper forward or backward to finely adjust the loading and short tear-off positions. An improved control panel design that allows direct selection of character fonts and pitch, as well as a choice of draft or near letter quality (NLQ) printing. Draft mode with fast printing of up to 264 characters per second at 12 cpi. The ability to handle a wide range of paper types, including envelopes. Double-high and double-wide printing for headings and special emphasis. Introduction 1
