EPSON Quick Fuser Technology

The printer warms up faster than conventional printers. About 25 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 17 seconds.

Reserve Job function

The Reserve Job function let 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. For details, see Using the Reserve Job Function.

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) is an original EPSON printer technology that works by smoothing out the jagged edges of diagonal and curved lines in both text and graphics. Enhanced MicroGray improves the halftone quality of graphics. With the driver provided, the printer's 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution is enhanced by RITech and Enhanced MicroGray technology.
