WHY THE Epson LQ 310 Dot Matrix Printer?
Building on its reputation as the worlds top dot matrix printer maker, Epson has introduced the
Epson LQ-310 as the next-generation narrow carriage, 24-pin model that replaces the legendary LQ-300,
featuring vastly improved speed and reliability.
Extreme Speed
The Epson LQ-310 features a 128KB input data buffer memory that is double that of its predecessor.
This enables it to achieve high printing speeds of up to 416 characters per second at 12 CPI
or almost 40% faster than the model it replaces.
Improving on Legendary Reliability
The Epson LQ-310 also has an improved reliability rating that is an astonishing 67% higher than its
predecessor that was already renowned for its dependability. The LQ-310 is rated for a mean time before
failure (MTBF) of 10,000 POH (power on hours) compared to the older models 6,000 POH.
High Impact for Multiple Carbon Copies
Achieve optimum efficiency with the LQ-310s ability to create up to a 4-part form printout
(1 original + 3 copies).
Flexible Connectivity
With built-in USB, Serial and Parallel Interface options, the LQ-310 is able to connect to just
about any output device you need it for.
