Introduction The FX-86e and FX-286e printers combine all the well-known virtues of previous Epson 9-pin printers with many features normally exclusive to costly 24-pin printers. l The speed of draft printing is 240 characters per second in draft elite and 200 in draft pica. When you have perfected a document, you can switch to one of two Near Letter Quality fonts-Roman or Sans Serif. Draft printing is extremely fast. NLQ Roman is clear and typewriter-like. NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive. l The SelecType feature gives you access to Near Letter Quality (NLQ) and condensed print. All you have to do is press the button for the style you want. While the FX 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 FX 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 tractor lets you load a wide range of widths of continuous-feed paper, including labels. l For headings and other emphasis, you can use double-high and double-wide printing.

Introduction
The FX-86e and FX-286e printers combine all the well-known virtues
of previous Epson 9-pin printers with many features normally exclusive
to costly 24-pin printers.
l
The speed of draft printing is 240 characters per second in draft elite
and 200 in draft pica. When you have perfected a document, you
can switch to one of two Near Letter Quality fonts-Roman or
Sans Serif.
Draft printing is extremely fast.
NLQ Roman is clear and typewriter-like.
NLQ Sans Serif is crisp and distinctive.
l
The SelecType feature gives you access to Near Letter Quality
(NLQ) and condensed print. All you have to do is press the button
for the style you want. While the FX 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 FX 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 tractor lets you load a wide range of
widths of continuous-feed paper, including labels.
l
For headings and other emphasis, you can use double-high and
double-wide printing.
