Vintage Epson MX-80 F/T dot matrix impact printer (c. 1981) - Does Self Test
Price: US $125.00
Epson MX-80 F/T dot matrix printer
Detachable tractor feed unit
Genuine Epson Ribbon #8750 which was new, taken out of box to run test print samples
Original 42-page user manual
Metal paper separator coated in plastic
Parallel port cable (for computer connection)
Tested and working: Printer powers on and successfully runs self-test (see video/photos for print results).
Prints properly once paper is correctly fed.
The platen roller does not fully grab and advance paper automatically. Paper must be manually guided under the platen using the tension lever before printing.
Tractor feed attachment:
One side is missing the spring and peg for the paper holding cover
Other side has spring present, but peg holding the spring is bent/leaning
Small break on the underside of the smoke-colored lid (at mounting points); lid still functions normally
Wire paper separator has some slightly bent ends (does not affect use)
The clear plastic covering the control panel shows some wear (see photo)
This printer has been carefully stored for decades in a temperature-controlled, smoke-free, pet-free, and pest-free environment. It was my very first printer.
