1. Extreme Speed:

   • The Epson LQ-310 has a 128KB input data buffer memory, which is double that of its predecessor.
   • It can achieve high printing speeds of up to 416 characters per second at 12 CPI, nearly 40% faster than the model it replaces.

2. Improved Reliability:

   • The LQ-310 boasts an improved reliability rating that is 67% higher than its predecessor.
   • It has a mean time before failure (MTBF) of 10,000 POH (power on hours), compared to the older model's 6,000 POH.

3. High Impact for Multiple Carbon Copies:

   • The LQ-310 can create up to a 4-part form printout (1 original + 3 copies), enhancing efficiency.
