Epson FX-80/100
Note - If you need any drivers or a copy of the user manual you should be able to get them from Epson's Support Website. The two printers have their own sections - FX-80 and FX-100.
The Epson FX-80/100 9 pin dot matrix printers were launched to replace the RX and MX series printers offering faster print speeds, more escape codes, facilities and options. They were superseded in October 1985 by the FX-80+/100+ respectively. Each printer has two sets of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches located under a corrugated plastic cover on the top right of the printer. These switches control certain printer functions and default settings, the details of which are listed below.
