EPSON AcuLaser C4000/C4100/C3000 Revision F
Product Descriptions Features 1-5
1.1 Features
This printer is a non-impact color page printer that takes advantage of a laser
and electrophotographic technologies. It provides 1200/600/300 dpi of
resolution and 16 ppm (A4/LT) of printing speed for both color and
monochrome printing. The main features of the printer are as follows:
ENGINE FEATURES
1. A4 tandem engine, a high-speed engine which printing speed is 16 PPM
for both color and monochrome printing (when printing A4/LT).
Engine for True 1200 dpi of high resolution and full-color printing (however
printing speed is reduced by half).
2. The Duplex Print Unit is equipped as standard. Special types of paper such
as thick paper, OHP sheets (transparency), label sealing sheets, and
envelopes cannot be printed in duplex.
3. By using high quality plain paper, higher quality printing is possible.
4. Capable of printing on thick paper and OHP sheets for laser printers.
5. Provides easy maintenance of a color laser printer. The users can replace
all consumables.
Toner cartridges (C, M, Y, K)
Photoconductor Unit
Transfer Unit
Fuser Unit
6. Standard paper feed devices are the following 2-bin; the MP Tray
(up to 100 sheets) and the Lower Cassette (up to 500 sheets, A4/LT).
By adding the two optional Lower Cassette (up to 500 sheets * 2 cassettes,
A4/LT), a maximum of 1600 sheets can be fed from the 4-bin in total.
7. Standard paper eject is up to 250 sheets into the Face-down tray.
CONTROLLER FEATURES
1. High-speed controller with a new CPU adopted
64-bit RISC CPU ---- PowerPC 750CX 400 MHz
64-bit high-speed memory ---- PC100 SDRAM DIMM
64 MB of standard RAM
By installing additional RAM, the memory can be expanded up to 576
MB (64 MB + 512 MB)
(Furthermore, by replacing the standard RAM with a 512 MB RAM, the
memory can be expanded up to 1024 MB)
2. Enhanced ASIC is equipped (VIP2, CDMC)
The color management technologies shown below have been incorporated

CLRCTL (color adjustment)
3. Three types of standard interface are available
IEEE 1284 compatible and ECP compatible parallel Interface
Ethernet interface (100 Base-TX/10 Base-T)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1
4. By expanding memory with RAM DIMMs, the following functions can be
enhanced and speeded up
CPGI drawing area
Image creating speed
Resolution
5. Firmware update function is possible (RCC compatible) when a Flash
DIMM is installed
6. HDD can be installed
