The brand of the printer is Epson, which is known for producing high-quality printers. This particular model, the RX-80, is a classic piece that is sure to catch the eye of collectors and enthusiasts.
Yhis printer works great for my application because it does not need a computer with software to work on the centronics interface. I added a new ribbon and some tractor feed paper. I only had to repair the paper clamps on the tractor sprockets to get them to work.
I knew that this could be interesting being a very old printer. I noticed that the guide for the printer feed was broken and that's normal. I did rig up a nice to the eye's a fix for it and then I ordered ink ribbon and putting the two together it worked so very nice. It took me back to the 80's. Beyond happy!!
