Overview

The Epson LQ-350 is a fast, reliable 24-pin, 80-column dot matrix printer from the world’s leading dot matrix manufacturer. Built for front and back office work that never stops — invoices, delivery challans, receipts, multi-part forms — it prints at up to 347 characters per second and handles original plus 3 carbon copies in a single pass. With a mean time between failures of 10,000 operating hours, a print head rated for 400 million strokes per wire, and an economical ribbon yielding 2.5 million characters, the Epson LQ-350 Printer keeps running costs among the lowest in its class. Triple connectivity (USB, parallel, and serial) makes it easy to integrate with both modern computers and legacy office systems. For businesses comparing dot matrix printers in Pakistan, the LQ-350 remains the industry workhorse for a reason.

• Triple connectivity: USB 2.0, RS-232 serial, and bidirectional parallel interfaces as standard.

Detailed Features

24-Pin Letter-Quality Printing. The 24-pin print head delivers sharp, near-typewriter-quality text at 360 x 180 dpi resolution. Bidirectional printing with logic seeking keeps throughput high in text mode, while uni-directional graphics mode ensures precise output for forms, logos, and barcodes. Whether you need speed or polish, three print modes — high-speed draft (347 cps), draft (260 cps), and letter quality (86 cps) — cover every office scenario.

Multi-Part and Continuous Paper Handling. Unlike laser and inkjet printers, the LQ-350’s impact mechanism physically strikes through carbonless multi-part stationery, printing up to 3 copies plus the original simultaneously. Rear feed paths handle single sheets, continuous fan-fold paper, labels, roll paper, and envelopes, making it the standard choice for billing counters, warehouses, and transport offices.

Easy Integration. With USB 2.0, serial (RS-232), and parallel interfaces built in, the LQ-350 connects to modern PCs as well as legacy point-of-sale and accounting systems. It emulates both ESC/P2 and IBM PPDS printer languages, so it drops into existing software setups with minimal configuration, and Epson Status Monitor software keeps an eye on the printer from the desktop.

Built for Reliability. A 10,000-hour mean time between failures, a print head rated at 400 million strokes per wire, and a rugged chassis mean the LQ-350 shrugs off dusty, hot, and high-volume office environments. Epson’s barcode fonts (Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A, UPC-E) let it print shipping labels and inventory tags directly.

Low Operating Cost. The SIDM black ribbon cartridge (C13S015633) delivers up to 3 million characters in draft mode and 2.5 million in letter-quality mode — dramatically cheaper per page than toner or inkjet for form-heavy workflows. At 22W printing and 1.3W in sleep, it is also ENERGY STAR qualified.
