LQ-590/LQ-2090
IMPACT PRINTER
Powering business productivity with
superior performance and reliability
With powerful 24-pin technology, the
Epson LQ-590 and the wide-format
Epson LQ-2090 deliver precision text and
graphics, plus rugged reliability for critical print
requirements. Offering print speeds of up to
529 cps and seamless integration into existing
printing environments, these robust performers
are sure to increase productivity. With versatile 5-part forms printing, multiple
paper loading options, and a durable, long-lasting ribbon, each product races
through tickets, purchase orders, invoices and more.
Perfect for point-of-sale, manufacturing, and production environments, these
two printers boast an amazing 20,000 POH MTBF rating and a 400 million
character print head life. Each features an easy-to-use control panel that
makes changing settings a snap, while convenient configuration software
facilitates simple setup via a PC. These two workhorses provide Parallel and
USB interfaces, plus a slot for optional interface cards, including high-speed
Ethernet, for greater compatibility with practically any system. And, with both
Epson and IBM® printer languages, they’re perfect replacements for the Okidata®
ML-390/490, the Epson LQ-570e/870 or the wide-format Epson LQ-2080.
Ideal for businesses that require high quality, multipart forms printing, the reliable
Epson LQ-590 and LQ-2090 printers offer extremely low operational costs
compared to other printing technologies, as well as superior performance in
comparison to other impact printers in their class. Designed for use in demanding
print environments, these heavy-duty dot matrix printers handle critical business
applications with precision and ease. And they’re backed by a three-year
warranty that includes Epson’s superior service and support.
