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. For more information, see Using the Reserve Job Function.

Note:

You need an optional Hard Disk Drive to be installed in your printer in order to use the Reserve Job function. See Hard Disk Drive for instructions.

HDD Form Overlay function

You need an optional Hard Disk Drive to be installed in your printer in order to use the HDD Form Overlay function. See Hard Disk Drive for instructions.

The HDD Form Overlay function is not available in the PostScript 3 mode.

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.

Duplex printing

EPSON provides optional 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.
