Features & Benefits

Overview

Low environmental impact
In addition to speeding up printing, the lack of heat needed by the inkjet technology also helps to cut the environmental impact of print by providing a low power solution with fewer supplies. The high ink yield means less waste from supplies, and you can rest assured from a lack of toner dust and ozone gas emissions.

High productivity
A fast First Page Out Time (FPOT) of 4.8 secs from ready mode and a fast duplex scan speed of 100ppm help to keep productivity high. A maximum paper capacity of 1,330 sheets means less time spent refilling.

Built for business
It’s compatible with a wide-range of solutions. Boost productivity and monitor print usage via server-based Epson Print Admin; control, analyse and manage your printer fleet with Epson Device Admin; or manage advanced push scan functions with Document Capture Pro. Benefit from our partner solutions like Nuance, PaperCut and Y Soft that can be adapted to meet specific business needs.

Low running costs
High ink yields lower the need to order and replace supplies frequently, and help to deliver predictable print costs and a competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Also, inkjet technology with fewer replacement parts, lowers the costs of servicing and intervention.
