About Your Printer

Options and consumable products

Your printer is the latest in EPSON's advanced line of laser printers.

The printer offers high-quality printouts at true 1200-dpi resolution, enhanced 600-dpi resolution, or 600-dpi resolution. When using 600-dpi printing, you can enhance the results using EPSON's Resolution Technology (RITech) and Enhanced MicroGray technology. RITech works by smoothing out the jagged edges of diagonal and curved lines in both text and graphics, while Enhanced MicroGray improves the halftone quality of graphics.

The printer is easy to install and use. You simply set up the printer, connect it to your computer, and install the printer driver as described in the Setup Guide.

The printer supports ECP mode in Microsoft® Windows® 98/95 and Windows NT® 4.0. ECP mode provides for high-speed data transfer and bi-directional communication with your computer.
