RELIABILITY— YOUR BEST CHOICE FOR

FAST, DEPENDABLE BACK OFFICE PRINTING.

Name a back office printing task and the EPSON

FX

™

-980 will race through it in record time. It’s our

fastest impact printer. In fact, it’s the fastest impact

printer in its class. Put it to work for you and speed

through continuous forms, labels, checks, greenbar

forms, spreadsheets, envelopes, manufacturing reports,

packing slips and security logs at up to 569 cps in high

speed draft mode.

It’s also one of the most reliable impact printers,

with an MTBF of 10,000 power-on-hours (POH), a print

head life rating of 300 million strokes/wire and a

ribbon life of 7.5 million characters. Combined, they

add up to a workhorse printer you can depend on for

years of rugged, care-free use.

It’s the only printer in its class that can handle up

to 7-part (original +6) forms. It’s also equipped with

front, rear and bottom paper paths. And it even comes

with two tractors. So, unlike its less sophisticated

counterparts, you can load two different forms and

switch between them without ”reloading” the forms

each time. Plus, the zero tear-off paper handling

eliminates wasted paper, saving even more time and

reducing paper costs in the bargain.

The EPSON FX-980 also gets along well with

others—it can be used in multi-platform environments,

features both parallel and serial connectivity standard

and comes complete with a variety of Windows

®

printer drivers. Add the optional network interface

board to quickly connect it to an Ethernet network or

Type B device.

The worry-free, care-free EPSON FX-980—rely on it

to cut costs, increase efficiency and

make quick work of any

printing task.
