Introduction
The Epson LQ-800 and LQ-1000 are state-of-the-art, X-pin dotmatrix
printers that deliver exceptional speed and sharpness in either
Letter Quality or draft style.
The LQ-800 and LQ-1000 are also capable of a wide variety of print
enhancements, including:

The LQ-800 and LQ-1000 combine the versatility and reliability of Epson products, with a wide range of exciting new features. You can select either the Letter Quality or draft typestyle with a touch of a front panel button-there are no codes to learn.
The 24-pin print head produces sharp, crisp draft characters, and Letter Quality characters that look like they came from a typewriter.
The LQ has built-in connectors for both parallel and serial interface cables, so there’s no need for extra options or modifications.
Option cartridges are available to further extend the capabilities of the LQ-800 and LQ-1000. These cartridges provide additional type fonts, and will also allow you to use programs designed for other popular printers.
