Overview

The Epson LX-350 is a 9-pin dot matrix printer introduced in the early 1990s, designed primarily for office environments requiring reliable text printing. It utilizes impact printing technology with a print head striking an ink-soaked ribbon to produce printed characters on multi-part forms. The printer supports continuous paper feed through a tractor mechanism, allowing uninterrupted printing on multi-layer carbon copies. With a printing speed of approximately 347 characters per second (cps) in draft mode and up to 90 cps in near letter-quality mode, it balances speed and print clarity. Its parallel and serial interfaces offer flexible connectivity options for various office systems. The LX-350 is compatible with ESC/P control codes, enabling reliable font and formatting control in legacy software environments.

Key Advantages

The Epson LX-350 is known for its exceptional durability and long operational life, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume printing needs. Its ability to print multi-part forms simultaneously streamlines invoice and receipt processing in business settings. The printer's reliable paper feeding system reduces jams and downtime, increasing overall productivity. Compatibility with a wide range of operating systems ensures versatile integration in existing office workflows. Its simple control panel and robust design require minimal maintenance, suited for continuous use. Additionally, the LX-350's quiet operation compared to other dot matrix printers enhances the office environment.

Limitations

As a 9-pin dot matrix printer, the LX-350 delivers lower resolution output compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, limiting its use to primarily text and simple graphics. Its monochrome printing capability restricts color printing options. The print speed, while adequate for text, may not meet demands for high-speed or high-quality graphic printing. The printer's reliance on tractor-fed continuous paper limits compatibility with standard cut-sheet paper frequently used in modern offices. Limited driver support in contemporary operating systems may require legacy or emulation solutions. Lastly, noise levels are higher than modern printers, which may be a consideration in certain environments.
