MODEL- LQ-680Pro         VENDOR- EPSON AMERICA

FEATURES- 24-pin Narrow Carriage Dot Matrix Printer
       Printing 413 cps in High-Speed Draft mode, the LQ-680Pro creates
        Letter Quality results on forms up to 6 parts thick.  This
        economical 24-pin impact printer races through your mission
        critical tasks like printing tickets, receipts, checks, labels, and
        more.
       Its straight paper path and flatbed feed design offer more efficient
        printing-without causing paper jams that can waste valuable time
        and damage high-cost forms.  But, what's especially reassuring
        about the LQ-680Pro is its advanced APG (Automatic Platen Gap)
        technology.  Sensing the thickness of multiple-part forms, it
        automatically adjusts the position of the print head to prevent
        damage to the pins from unnecessary force.
       With a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) rating of 10,000 power-on
        hours (POH), the LQ-680Pro offers extreme durability.  And, it has
        a 400-million strokes/wire print head rating.
       With exceptional paper handling capabilities, dual paper paths, and
        eight bar-code fonts, this energy-efficient printer is the perfect
        solution for your busy workgroup.
