Notes

• ¹ ISO ppm is based on the new international standard for measuring print speed. Black and color print speeds are determined in default, single-side mode in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. See www.epson.com/printspeed for details, including complete ISO reports.

• ² Adapter required

• ³ Ink fade resistance ratings based on accelerated testing of prints on specialty media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or properly store them. Visit www.wilhelm-research.com for the latest information.

• ⁴ We recommend that you use genuine Epson ink cartridges. The use of other products may affect your print quality and could result in all-in-one damage. Cartridge yields vary considerably based on images printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use and temperature. For print quality, a small amount of ink remains in the cartridge after the “Replace cartridge” indicator comes on. To send faxes, print or copy requires the installation of functioning black and color ink cartridges. The all-in-one ships with full cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the all-in-one. See www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo for more information about cartridges.

• Some applications and/or functions, like double-sided printing, may not be supported by Mac.

• Compared to competitive monochrome laser printers at $199 and under available as of March 2008. Based on Epson testing of power estimated to be used during an eight-hour day.
