Epson LQ-680

Why the Epson LQ-680?

Enjoy high quality countertop printing with the 24-pin, 360 cps printer that’s ideal for everywhere from retail stores to doctors’ surgeries. It’s built to last and delivers crisp, clear results at very low cost. You can insert cut sheets from the front in A4 landscape format and the Epson LQ-680 includes automatic paper thickness adjustment for handling an even wider range of papers.

Simple and reliable The straight, flat paper path gives you maximum reliability when you print on multi-part paper up to 6-part forms, but you can choose from front, rear and top feeds too.

Fast and flexible Print up to 413 cps up to 106 columns wide, and take up less space with A4 landscape cut sheet paper feeding.

A professional touch If you use lots of different paper types the Epson LQ-680 gives you even more options – it even handles paper of varying thickness like overlapping parts and forms with labels.
