This Epson LQ-500 printer is a high-quality monochrome printer that uses dot matrix technology to produce black and white output. It is a parallel (IEEE 1284) connectivity device that is perfect for printing documents and other materials. This printer is part of the Epson LQ product line and comes in its original box, making it an ideal choice for those who want to print high-quality documents without worrying about compatibility issues. Just taken out of my warehouse where is was stored for many years. Brand new. Never removed from box. Rare find.
