The MX is a text-only printer.  The FX is text and graphics.  The JX is
text and graphics in color.  The number after the dash (e.g., 80, 100,
or whatever) is the print width in tenths of an inch.

You could use an MX-80 for text (choose the FX-80 printer selection in
Preferences), but couldn't print graphics.
