Introduction
Welcome to the EM-850fx
We are proud that our advanced office electronic typewriter EM-850fx is
welcomed in your office, at school, and at home. It can be your desktop partner
streamlining everyday typing jobs. It is a standard typewriter. But that's not
everything. The most profitable feature is that you can use it as a dedicated
word processing machine. It works like an easy-to-use computer that runs
word processing software and office management software.
The EM-850fx is equipped with an internal memory and you can install the
optional 3.5-inch floppy disk drive FB-500. Use 3.5-inch 2DD micro-floppy
disks for the optional disk drive. One floppy disk can contain approximately
720,000 characters of data. You can enjoy typing and word processing.
You can enhance the function and convenience of the EM-850fx with optional
equipment and accessories such as paper feeder, floppy disk drive, memory
expansion board/chips, computer interface and others.
