Description

Epson LQ-680Pro dot-matrix printer

A 24-pin flatbed impact printer designed for convenient front-loading cut sheets and multipart forms.

The flatbed layout supports front-in, front-out manual paper handling, keeping individual sheets and forms easy to reach. Automatic platen-gap adjustment and the auto paper changer help when moving between supported paper types. Optional interface boards and a cut-sheet feeder are separate accessories.

Enquire with WOW Supplies in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia about the LQ-680Pro for your business paperwork. Share your paper width, form sample, number of copies and computer connection so the required configuration can be checked before you order.

Features

Print width and form layout: 106 columns at 10 cpi. Match the printable area to the fields and margins on your form rather than choosing by paper width alone.
Speed with the mode stated: 413 cps at 10 cpi (High Speed Draft); 465 cps at 15 cpi (Draft). cps means characters per second; cpi means characters per inch. Draft and letter-quality settings have different output speeds.
Multipart document handling: 6-part forms: 1 original + 5 copies. Use forms within the documented width, thickness and paper-path limits.
Flatbed convenience: Front-loading manual paper handling, automatic platen-gap adjustment and an auto paper changer support the LQ-680Pro’s individual-sheet and forms workflow.
Connection choice: Ethernet requires a compatible optional Type B network interface; it is not built-in. USB is not listed as a standard interface.
Replaceable black ribbon: C13S015508 is the cartridge listed for this regional model. Approx. 2 million characters (LQ, 10 cpi, 48 dots/character); actual yield varies.
Planning dependable operation: 10,000 power-on hours (25% duty cycle) MTBF and 400 million strokes per printhead wire are manufacturer ratings. Keep the paper path clear and follow routine cleaning and ribbon-replacement guidance.
