Epson MX-80 Technical Manual?

[dwight]

It is interesting that the MX-80 was copied by several other

printer manufactures. For a while, the term MX-80 compatible

was an important selling feature.

The Canon Cat had configurations for many different Canon printers

built in, from daisy wheel to bubble jet. It had one extra configuration

called 'common printer' and guess which printer that is. The MX-80!

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this scan (and of course all the other great work you do), Al, the quality was fantastic.

For anyone else that didn't notice this (or forgot to check back), it's at:
http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/epson/printer/P80000001A_MX-80_Technical_Manual.pdf

And it's much more readable (especially the diagrams).

Scott.
