LX-300 
 

 

Its small design doesn't mean it's small on features. The LX-300 not only prints fast but with EPSON's SmartPark, switching between single sheets and continuous forms is a snap with the touch of a few buttons. With the optional color kit, you can easily print up to seven eye-catching colors.
