The Epson LX-350 is a 9-pin dot matrix printer designed primarily for office environments where continuous form printing is required. It supports bidirectional printing with logic seeking, which improves the overall print speed and accuracy across multiple character sets. The printer features 136 columns at 10 characters per inch (CPI) and 80 columns at 12 CPI on standard continuous paper. Connectivity is provided via a parallel interface, making it compatible with legacy systems. The LX-350 can handle a variety of paper types, including single sheets, multi-part forms (up to 6 copies), and envelopes. Its print speed can reach up to 359 characters per second in draft mode, enabling efficient document production.
The printer uses Epson’s proprietary ESC/P and ESC/P2 command sets, allowing compatibility with many software applications and enhancing text and graphic printing capabilities. It operates with a reliable print head with a life expectancy supporting high-volume printing tasks. Additionally, the LX-350 incorporates a tractor feed mechanism to minimize paper jams and ensure smooth continuous printing. The device’s rugged design and straightforward operation make it a staple for point-of-sale systems, invoicing, and data logging in industries requiring impact printing.

Limitations
The Epson LX-350 is limited by its dot matrix technology, producing lower resolution prints compared to modern inkjet or laser printers. It primarily supports parallel interface connectivity, which could be incompatible with newer computers without adapters. The printing noise is significantly higher than non-impact printers, which may be disruptive in quiet office environments. Color printing capabilities are very limited, focusing mainly on monochrome output. The device lacks advanced features such as wireless connectivity and duplex printing, common in newer models. Additionally, consumables like ribbon cartridges may be less readily available as this model has aged.
