With exceptional paper handling capabilities, dual paper paths, and eight bar-code fonts, this energy-efficient printer is the perfect solution for your workgroup. It gives you speed and durability, without sacrificing performance. The LQ-680 Pro offers ultra-reliable flatbed printing with Epson quality and speed. Paper handling versatility is evident with three-way paper handling from the front, rear or top together with crisp, clear output achievable on multi-part forms up to six layers thick.

Comments about Epson LQ-680 Pro Dot Matrix Printer:
This printer was used in printing delivery records for my company and due to the volume of print outs required, it was decided to go for this printer. however after printing about 13pages straight, the printer makes a certain noise and it scatters the print work forcing you to stop what you are printing and start all over again :(
