EPSON Quick Fuser Technology

The printer warms up faster than conventional printers. About 30 seconds are required from power ON to when printing can be done at normal temperature. The time depends on the printer's optional configuration. Furthermore, if printing data is received in the sleep mode, printing will be started after a warm up time of about 30 seconds. When the temperature is low and humidity is high, about 300 seconds are required from power ON to when printing can be done.

Duplex printing

This printer comes with a built-in duplex unit, allowing you to easily print on both sides of the page. You can produce professional quality double-sided documents. Use this feature with any print job to cut costs and save resources.

As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Epson recommends the use of the duplex printing function. See ENERGY STAR® Compliance for more information on the ENERGY STAR® program.

Reserve Job function

The Reserve Job function lets you store a print job on the printer's Hard Disk Drive and reprint it directly from the printer's control panel at any time without using your computer.
You can also print one copy in order to verify the content before printing multiple copies. If the content of the print job is confidential, you can set a password to limit access to it.
