Printer Features
The printer comes with a full set of features that contributes to 
ease of use and consistent, high-quality output. The main features 
are described below.
High-quality printing
When using the driver provided, your printer does 600-dpi 
printing at a speed of up to 25 pages per minute when printing in 
the black and white mode on A4 paper. You’ll appreciate the 
professional print quality produced by your printer and its quick 
processing speed.
Duplex printing
Installing the optional Duplex Unit allows 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. You can also do duplex printing 
manually.
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.

Pre-defined color settings in the printer driver
The printer driver offers many pre-defined settings for color 
printing, allowing you to optimize print quality for various types 
of color documents.
For Windows, see “Making the print quality setting” on page 41 
for more information.
For Macintosh, see “Making the print quality settings” on page 
88 for more information.
Toner save mode
To reduce the amount of toner used in printing documents, you 
can print rough drafts using the Toner Save mode.
Resolution Improvement Technology and 
Enhanced MicroGray technology
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.

Laser safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation 
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for 
Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does 
not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within 
protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot 
escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.Safety UL 60950
