The Epson LQ-500 is a dot matrix printer that uses 24 pins. This printer can deliver both graphics and text documents and it comes with a cut sheet feeder for easy handling. The Epson LQ-500 uses ribbon cartridges but only in black, print heads usually have a life of 200 million strokes. This printer can handle single sheets or continuous sheets. The Epson LQ-500 impact printer is outdated and has been replaced by modern models.

This single-cartridge unit has a print speed of 150 characters / second on draft mode and 50 characters / second on letter quality. The Epson LQ-500 can handle continuous paper of three copies, one original and two copies. For connectivity, there is a parallel port.
