EPSON EPL-C8000

1.1 Features

EPL-C8000 is a non-impact color page printer that makes the most use
of the semi-conductor laser and electrophotographic technology.
o Engine
1. Designed for performance in true business environments. Supports
sizes from A5 to A3W. Printing speed (on A4/Letter) is 4ppm for
color printing, 16ppm for monochrome printing.
2. Supports high-resolution full color (True 600dpi).
3. Can generate high-quality prints on special (dedicated) paper.
4. Supports thick sheets and OHP (dedicated OHP sheets).
5. Easy to maintain.
6. 2 Standard paper feed bins= paper tray (150 sheets; A3W) and
standard universal cassette (250 sheets: A3).
When the optional Large Capacity Paper unit attached, total
capacity is up to 1150sheets with 5 bins.
7. Standard paper ejection is face down (up to 250 sheets). Face-up
ejection is also available (up to 150 sheets).
o Controller features
1. Newly developed high-speed controller
n New 64-bit RISC CPU:
n 64-bit high speed memory:
n 64MB RAM standard: expandable up to 256MB (2 expansion
slots)

R4700 - 133MHz
SDRAM DIMM
2. Color management technology
n AcuLaser Color Halftoning included
n RGB multivalue input processing (Controller carries out
binarization processing: color mapping, color correction, and
screening.)
n Enhanced ASIC (AcuLaser Color Halftoning, CCNV)
3. Data compression technology
n Multivalue data compression: reduces RAM use and increses
host-I/F data transfer speed.
4. Firmware Program is executed on the RAM.
At the power on, compressed ROM program data is expanded into
RAM by lPL in the MASK ROM.
n RAM execution increases processing speed (fast access, 64-bit
processing instead of 32-bit)
n Program compression reduces usage of program memory in
ROM
5. Bi-directional I/F conforms to IEEE1284 ECP
n ECP-based high-speed data transfer (to/from host)
n Printer can return status to host.
6. Includes two Type-B interface slots.
7. installation of expansion RAM (DIMMs) provides improvements in
the following.
n Drawing area for AcuLaser Color Halftoning, Enhanced Micro
Gray.
n Print data processing speed
n Resolution
8. Includes toner-save mode (color, monochrome)
