Information
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.
