Epson Spectrum LX-80 Dot Matrix Tractor or Friction Feed Parallel Port Printer

Description

Please read the item description in its entirety and examine the pictures BEFORE you purchase.

Up for sale is an old Epson Spectrum LX-80 parallel port dot matrix printer. We powered it on and were successfully able to print a self test page (press the FF (Form Feed) button while powering on the printer – see pictures, we also connected it to an old Windows XP computer and we were able to get it to print a test page connected via the parallel port – we had to make sure the cable was connected tightly. The test pages are in good condition considering they were printed with a new, old stock ribbon just installed (June 2020) in the printer from about decades ago! This comes with the tractor paper feed adapter (NOT tested as we don’t have any tractor feed paper available), a parallel cable (about 3′ long), and four new, old stock black ribbons.
If you would like to save on the shipping, you’re welcome to schedule an appointment and stop by to pick it up.
