Matrixprinter FB-380 and FB-390
These two flatbed printers are fast, cost-efficient and provide convincing printing quality.
The FB-380 and FB-390 from SEIKO Precision are low cost 24 needle flat
bed printers specifically designed for SMB, front desk, Small office and
Home office applications. The typical operating environment is the clas-
sical customer service counter application as well as protocol printers for
cash registers and technical systems, simple banking counter and front
office applications using a wide variety of multi copy forms and carbon
copy sets where speed, reliability, robustness and ease of use and simple
operation combined with good print quality and low operating cost are
key factors.
These printers have been designed especially for fast and low cost prin-
ting of shipping notes, invoices, loading bills, protocols, cash register
slips, money orders, checks and tickets on single form or fanfold papers.
Typical multicopy applications are printing of thick papers or forms with
up to 7 pages (6 copies) in hospitals or ambulances, pharmacies, insurance
and leasing offices, freight forwarding, transport and logistics companies
as well as travel agencies, airlines, automotive repair, car dealers and car
title or government license printing. Both printers feature quick
changing between printing on fanfold paper from the rear tractor or sin-
gle sheets through manual feed from the front while paper thickness and
impact force can be adapted quickly and easily in several levels by manual
operation.
The EPSON® Emulation in combination with both parallel Centronics as
well as USB (2.0) Interface allow for quick and easy installation as well as
the replacement of older or no longer available printers from other brands.
