PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

EPSON Stylus CX2800/CX2900/CX2905/CX3000/CX3000v/ME 200 Stylus CX3900/CX3905/DX4000/DX4050

Revision A

1.1 Overview

This unit provides the three primary functions; computer-connected printer, scanner, and stand-alone copy machine, and is designed for home/personal use.

Its main functions are described below:

1.1.1 Features

Printer functions

As a printer, this unit achieves high-quality output at high speed on plain papers. It includes the following features:

Maximum print resolution: 5760 (H) x 1440 (V) dpi

Separate ink cartridge for each color

ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder) holds up to 100 cut sheets (64 g/m2)

Borderless printing with EPSON special media

Fast and thick draft mode with the combination of real black and composite black

Stylus CX3900/CX3905/DX4000/DX4050 use new pigment ink which is water resistant, light-fast and ozone resistant

Stylus CX2800/CX2900/CX2905/CX3000/CX3000V/ME 200 use dye ink, which has a good distinction of the color

Scanner functions

This unit provides scan mode so that data is scanned and transferred to a connected computer or to e-mail via application software like EPSON SMART PANEL. CIS sensor requires no warm-up period, which makes scanning more convenient and allows for a more compact scanner. Additional features include the following:

Maximum optical resolution: 600 x 1200 dpi

Scan gradations:

48 bits (input), 24 bits (output)

Stand-alone copy functions

Paper size can be selected from two or three options:

Table 1-1. Paper Size

Market	Paper Size
EAI	Letter/4"x6"
Europe/Asia/Pacific	A4/10x15
Latin	Letter/A4/4"x6"

Enlarge/Reduce factor can be selected from two options; actual size (100%) or “Fit to page”

Copy margin is automatically selected from two options, related to paper type and paper size; Standard Copy (3mm-margin), Small Margins Copy, or Borderless copy

Fast and thick draft mode with the combination of real black and composite black

Simultaneous use of functions

Printer functions and scanner functions are independent and can therefore be operated simultaneously from a connected computer.

Easy control panel

The unit has a simple control panel equipped with seven buttons including power button and LEDs, and provides basic functions only for easier operation.

Exterior

Use of a CIS sensor makes the scanner body more compact.

Also, the control panel on the left side makes the printer distinctive in appearance but still easier to use.

	Dimension:	430 mm (W) x 345 mm (D) x 172 mm (H)
		(including rubber feet, excluding loading tray)
	Weight:	5.7 kg (without ink cartridges)

COPY LAYOUT

1.4.2 Copy Speed

The following copy layout is provided according to “Paper type”, “Paper size” and zoom selections.

Standard copy

Provided for ordinary use with 3-mm copy margin from every sides.

Borderless copy

Borderless copying occurs when the print area is set as larger than the copy paper's size. In such cases, the outer edges of the original image may be omitted.

NOTE: Only “Standard copy” can be used in draft copy mode.

			Photo Paper	4" x 6"	B&W, Color	Borderless

Note *1: The zoom factor is set to 100%.

*2: “Fit to page” automatically sets the enlarge/reduce scale so that the entire image fits into the printable area or the borderless area when borderless layout is selected. When the original image is smaller than general card size (approx. 54mm x 86mm), the print margins will be different from the one that is defined by each layout.

The image placement uses the upper left corner as the origin and margins may appear along the bottom and/or right edge.

*3: “10 x 15” is the same size as “4" x 6"”.
