Epson EX-800/1000
The Epson EX series were introduced as an alternative to the FX series and launched in July 1986. They offered the option to add colour or a scanner unit and incorporated fast print speeds and a push tractor for short tear off. The colour option came bundled from October 1989 onwards. The printers had two sets of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches located in the rear panel of the printer. These switches control certain printer functions and default settings, the details of which are listed below.
