User and Environment Friendly. In line with EPSON's environmental policy, the EPSON DLQ-3500 is constructed of non-toxic, easily recycled materials. It's user-friendly too. The direct path horizontal feed design assures accurate printing every time without crooked lines or smearing. This also contributes to environmental protection by eliminating wasteful use of paper.

EPSON Technology - The Key to Versatile Paper Handling. Printing on single sheets, envelopes, and continuous paper is just the beginning with the EPSON DLQ-3500. You can also print on overlapping paper. And for even more versatility, there's Auto Platen Gap adjustment. Switch to the Auto mode, and this EPSON innovation automatically detects paper thickness before adjusting the distance between the head and the platen. The result is precise, smooth printing even on forms with labels. If you're using a limited range of paper thicknesses, you can also switch to the Manual mode to set the optimum printing parameters manually.

1+6 Copy Printing Convenience. Need copies? Switch to the Copy mode, and the powerful EPSON DLQ-3500 can deliver up to seven copies in addition to the original. And thanks to the high impact pressure of the long-life 24-pin printhead each copy is as clear as the original.

Networkable. In addition to standard parallel and serial interfaces, you can install an optional Ethernet card in the Type B interface slot to incorporate the EPSON DLQ-3500 in an expanded multi-system network.
