[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Epson LQ 510 Comments Requested

singer@uwovax.uwo.ca (06/10/91)

Has anybody had any experience with the new Epson LQ 510? I am especially
interested in knowing if the draft printe quality (note whether the 'e' is very
sloppy--it's the most frequent letter in English) is poorer than other 24 pin
printers and whether thtter quality print is slightly dot-y around the edges
edges or whether I have merely seen a poor sample.--

I have an EpsonLQ-510 running under Windows 3.0 and Adobe Type Manager.
Even with ATM, I still get inconsistent print quality; this one is a
hardware problem.  If I print a line of text, sometimes I get a white
gap that runs the length of the text.  It seems as if printing anything
thick (envelopes, lablels) exacerbates the gap problem.
