Service manual

Generally all text and graphics look better when printed at
600 dpi. This is especially true for grayscale images because a
finer halftone
screen can be applied to produce more realistic
images. The higher resolution of 600 dpi also means that more
gray shades can be represented, reducing the banding that is
sometimes apparent at lower resolutions.
Toner saving mode
The toner saving mode allows you to reduce the amount of
toner used in printing draft documents. When you turn on
toner saving mode, the printer applies less toner to each page,
causing text and graphics to appear gray rather than black. The
toner saving mode settings allow you to control how light or
dark you want the toner to be applied.
EPSON Control Panel utility
The EPSON Control Panel for Windows keeps you informed
of the printer’s status and notifies you of printing errors. Each
time the printer status changes, such as when the paper tray is
empty or an error occurs,
a message automatically appears on
screen. In case of an error, the message informs you of what
steps to take to clear the error.
Note:
If you are not using the printer in a Windows environment, the
Reporter, which is included with the EPSON Control Panel for DOS,
keeps you informed of the printer status.
Memory expandable to 18MB
The printer comes with 2MB of memory, which is sufficient
for printing almost all documents. However, if you regularly
print complex, graphics-intensive pages or regularly download
multiple fonts, you may want to increase the amount of printer
memory. By inserting one or two SIMMs, you can increase
printer memory to 18MB. See Appendix D for more
information.
