‡ This product uses only genuine Epson-brand ink packs. Other brands of ink packs and ink supplies are not compatible and, even if described as compatible, may not function properly.
¹ Replacement ink pack yields are based on testing with ISO/IEC 24712 patterns with Epson's methodology in Default Mode, printing continuously. Yields may vary considerably for reasons that include 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 printer maintenance. For print quality, part of the ink from the included cartridges or ink packs is used for printer startup and a variable amount of ink remains in the ink pack after the "replace ink pack" signal.
²Not all media types are supported for PCL printing.
³Monthly duty cycle up to 45,000 is the highest duty a user could expect in a month, based on near-constant operation of a device of this kind. It is not recommended that the device be run at this duty. For best device performance, run the device at the recommended duty of 2500 pages per month.
⁴Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. Wi-Fi Direct may require printer software.
