Epson LX-86

The Epson LX-86 9 pin dot matrix printer was introduced to replace the LX-80. It offered faster print speeds than its predecessor and incorporated the IBM graphic character set. The printer has two sets of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches located on the rear panel of the printer. These switches control certain printer functions and default settings, the details of which are listed below.
