Overview

Overview

Market-leading print speeds¹

The FX-890II offers an improved USD (ultra speed draft) speed of 735 characters per second at 12 characters per inch, making a real difference to high-volume print runs such as stock reports and large batches of invoices or freight documents.

Outstanding reliability

Epson's dot matrix technology is already mature and very reliable, and these new printers improve the mean time between failure by 25% to 25,000 power-on hours, ideal for challenging conditions or where regular maintenance is not practical.

Modern design

Epson's new range of dot matrix printers have a refreshingly modern design to fit in with your working environment.
