When you have perfected a document, you can switch to one of two Near Letter Quality fontsRoman or Sans Serif. l The Color Option Kit makes your EX a fully-fledged 7-color printer, capable of using the many programs designed for the Epson JX-80 color printer. Even with the color unit, however, you can still use inexpensive black ribbons when you don't need color. l The SelecType feature gives you access to both of the Near Letter Quality (NLQ) printing styles, two different pitches, proportional spacing, and condensed print. All you have to do is press the button for the style you want. While the EX is printing, the SelecType panel shows you what choices it's using. l If you are using software designed for an IBM@ printer, you have the choice of using the EX in Epson mode or IBM printer emulation mode. Even better, you can combine the best of both worlds; the powerful Epson mode commands can now print character graphics like those used by IBM printers and computers. l Loading paper is now easier than ever. Single sheets can be loaded by just moving a lever, and the new built-in push-feed tractor lets you load a wide range of widths of continuous-feed paper, including labels. l For graphics, the EX sets a new standard in speed. By using the bidirectional mode it almost doubles the speed of graphics printing. Introduction 1

Introduction
The EX printers combine all the well-known virtues of previous
Epson Spin printers with many features normally exclusive to costly
24-pin printers.
l
The speed of draft printing is higher than ever-300 characters per
second in draft elite and 250 in draft pica. When you have perfected
a document, you can switch to one of two Near Letter Quality fonts-
Roman or Sans Serif.
l
The Color Option Kit makes your EX a fully-fledged 7-color printer,
capable of using the many programs designed for the Epson JX-80
color printer. Even with the color unit, however, you can still use
inexpensive black ribbons when you don’t need color.
l
The SelecType feature gives you access to both of the Near Letter
Quality (NLQ) printing styles, two different pitches, proportional
spacing, and condensed print. All you have to do is press the button
for the style you want. While the EX is printing, the SelecType panel
shows you what choices it’s using.
l
If you are using software designed for an IBM@ printer, you have the
choice of using the EX in Epson mode or IBM printer emulation
mode. Even better, you can combine the best of both worlds; the
powerful Epson mode commands can now print character graphics
like those used by IBM printers and computers.
l
Loading paper is now easier than ever. Single sheets can be loaded
by just moving a lever, and the new built-in push-feed tractor lets you
load a wide range of widths of continuous-feed paper, including
labels.
l
For graphics, the EX sets a new standard in speed. By using the
bidirectional mode it almost doubles the speed of graphics printing.
