■ Serves as an external card reader that lets you copy images from the memory
card to your computer, or vice versa.
■ Includes photo restoration features to restore faded color photos to their
original brilliance.
■ Includes a built-in transparency unit and film holder so you can transform
your slides and 35 mm film into beautiful photographs.
■ Supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) technology, so you can
pre-select the photos you want to print while your memory card is still in the
camera. (Your digital camera must also support DPOF.)
■ Includes software that lets you scan and edit text, or scan a photo and attach it
to an e-mail. You can also upload photographs, free of charge, to Epson’s
photo-sharing web site.
■ Supports Epson’s BorderFree
®
print technology, which lets you print without
borders on a variety of popular paper sizes.
■ Supports Epson’s PRINT Image Matching
™
technology and the Exif
(Exchangeable Image File) Print format. With both technologies, your digital
camera saves specific printing information, such as gamma level and color
saturation, with each JPEG or TIFF image file. Your RX500 detects that
information and uses it to optimize your print.
You can print P.I.M. or Exif images directly from your memory card
using the RX500’s buttons, or you can use ArcSoft
®
PhotoImpression,
™
one of
the bonus applications that comes with your RX500.
