Print faster and more productively. The LQ-690II prints the original + six copies, and is capable of printing an impressive 487 cps (10 cpi) when using printer resident fonts.

High ribbon yield:

In a demanding and fast-moving work environment a high ribbon yield is essential, and with 10 million characters per ribbon, this marks the LQ-690II as a leading force in the flatbed market. It is also cost-effective, with long ribbon replacement cycles, low running costs and total cost of ownership. In addition, the ribbon is transferrable, which means that you can use ribbons from your current printer in the new printer, resulting in less cost and waste.

Durable and built to last, users will be assured by the MTBF (mean time between failures) of 20,000 power on hours. The robust casing can stand up to high humid and heat conditions, which makes the LQ-690II ideal for any work environment. This results in greater productivity and less maintenance from down time - essential when producing large amounts of documents and data.
