Epson LQ-590 Specifications
The Epson LQ-590 dot-matrix printer is a blend of tried-and-true robustness and modern precision, catering to companies that require high-volume, low-cost printing with excellent quality. A distinctly non-pretentious appearance reflects its functionality. While not the most compact device from Epson, its design features a robust structure in a printer built for endurance, and it’s still relatively easy to accommodate in an office for its size. Its industrial look, however, wouldn’t fit seamlessly with modern office decor.
Although the LQ-590 is more significant than its compact siblings from Epson, it has integrated handles, allowing easier installation and transportation. The device measures 6.7 by 19.4 by 13.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 15.4 pounds, which, combined with the placement of the interface ports on the side, makes installation easier. In addition to standard parallel and USB interfaces, an Epson Type B Level 2 interface slot is included for optional use with high-speed and serial USB devices.
The LQ-590’s sheer performance stems from the fact that sites have been re-engineered for the current generation’s sty printing. This 24-pin wide carriage printer handles big print jobs without a fuss. This printer is ideal for taming the stacks of forms from multipart stationery. It’s perfect for all the “mission-critical” print jobs you have no time to worry about. And, as a further plus, its 24-pin print head produces better-looking output than its 9-pin counterparts, with finer dot control. Not surprisingly, the LQ-590 is a natural mean performer all around.
In an age of quieter, more energy-efficient devices, the LQ-590 seems something of a relic; its operational noise and higher power consumption compared to many laser and inkjet printers mean the LQ-590 won’t be the best choice for those seeking whisper-quiet operation and green credentials. However, for those businesses that still rely on continuous-form pages and need a printer that can take the strain of relentless daily use — from warehouses to banks — the LQ-590 is a potent tool. It may be a holdover from a previous age. Still, the Epson LQ-590 is an indispensable, unsung hero for specific sectors, servicing a critical need with reliability that modern printers still struggle to match.
