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.
