Extreme Speed

The Epson LX-310 features a 128KB input data buffer memory that is double that of its predecessor. This enables it to achieve high
printing speeds of up to 357 characters per second at 12 CPI.

Epson LX-310 Dot Matrix Printer Improving on Legendary Reliability

The Epson LX-310 also has an improved reliability rating that is an astonishing 67% higher than its predecessor that was already
renowned for its dependability. The LX-310 is rated for a mean time before failure (MTBF) of 10,000 POH (power on hours)
compared to the older model’s 6,000 POH.

High Impact for Multiple Carbon Copies
