Frequently Asked Questions
What does 2.5 million character ribbon yield mean for ongoing costs?
A 2.5 million character ribbon yield translates to very long ribbon life between replacements, reducing consumable costs and minimising printer downtime for ribbon changes.
Is the LQ-350 energy-efficient compared to other dot matrix printers?
Yes, with only 1.3W standby power consumption, the LQ-350 is designed for low energy draw, making it economical for continuous or overnight batch printing.
What does a 10,000 hour MTBF rating tell me about reliability?
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 10,000 hours indicates the printer should run reliably for extended periods before maintenance is needed. At typical daily use, this translates to several years of service.
At 347 cps, is the LQ-350 fast enough for high-volume office use?
347 cps suits medium-to-high volume office workflows, printing reports and invoices at a competitive pace. For extreme throughput needs, faster 9-pin or 24-pin wide-carriage models may be preferable.

The LQ-350 excels at standard office forms, invoices, and multi-part documents where ribbon economy and reliability are valued over raw speed.

Standard office-grade UPS protection is recommended for any impact printer. Contact Procure.ae for site preparation and power requirements.
