The Epson SQ-2000 Ink Jet Printer gives you the versatility, speed, and graphics capability of a dot matrix printer, together with print quality close to that of a daisy wheel printer. A major advantage of the ink jet is its quiet operation, which sets it in a class by itself. Features Like a conventional dot matrix printer, the SQ-2000 uses dots to create each character. Instead of using a ribbon, it transfers the characters onto the paper through 24 ink nozzles. The print head cleans itself automatically, keeping the nozzles clear. The SQ-2000 accepts a wide range of different types of paper; you don’t need to buy specially manufactured stock. It’s designed to work on smooth, ordinary bond paper. The SQ-2000 offers dot graphic modes which let you create custom characters, logos, and detailed graphic designs.
