  †  ISO ppm is based on ISO/IEC 24734. Black and color print speeds are determined in default, letter-size, single-side mode, in accordance with ISO/IEC 24734. Actual print times will vary based on 

system configuration, software, and page complexity. See www.epson.com/printspeed for details, including complete ISO reports.

††  Black and color copy speeds (cpm) are determined in default, single-side mode, in accordance with ISO/IEC 29183. Actual copy times will vary based on system configuration and page complexity. 

See www.epson.com/copyspeed for details.

  1  Smallest footprint among color inkjet all-in-ones priced at $129 or less, as of February 2012.

  2  Most features require an Internet connection to the printer as well as an Internet- and/or email-enabled device. See www.epson.com/connect for a list of EPSON Connect enabled printers and 

compatible devices and apps.

 3  Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™; level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Visit www.wi-fi.org/files/11nbasics_glossary.pdf for more information.

  4  Some applications and/or functions may not be supported under Mac OS X.

  5  Replacement cartridge yields are based on ISO/IEC 24711 tests in default mode printing continuously. Cartridge yields vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, 

temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink color. All ink colors are used for printing and all-in-one maintenance, and all colors have to 

be installed for printing. For print quality, part of the ink from the included cartridges is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the cartridges after the “replace cartridge” 

signal. For details, see www.epson.com/cartridgeinfo

  6  Display permanence based on accelerated testing of prints displayed under glass in indoor display conditions; album permanence based on accelerated testing of prints in dark storage conditions. 

Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee the longevity of 

prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or UV filter or properly store them.

  7  Compared to best-selling, color multifunction laser printers priced at $399 or less as of April 2012. Actual power savings will vary by product model and usage.
