notes: label: Description
content: The advent of microcomputers led to a rapidly growing demand for inexpensive desktop printers that could be used with them. The Epson MP (and MX) line quickly became among the best-selling products in this category. In fact, the code that Epson established for communication between computers and its printer became the industry standard for the first generation of dot-matrix printers. This device is an example of this brand of computer printer (see also 2001.0003.16).
