The mono laser printer that
lets you print in colour

The innovative Epson AcuLaser 2600 series doesn't just give
you fast, professional mono printing. It also gives you
maximum flexibility. You can convert to colours - and back
again - by easily adding or removing the colour toner
cartridges.
You want fast, high-volume printing?
The Epson AcuLaser 2600 series uses
Epson's innovative technology to print at
an impressive 30 pages per minute in
black and white. This is faster than many
mono laser printers. It certainly won't
keep you waiting, with the first mono
page printed in 9.3 seconds.
No job is too big. We give you trouble-
free printing with one of the largest
standard paper capacities on the market
at 650 sheets - expandable up to 1150.
And when printing in mono you can
insert four black toner cartridges for four
times the capacity, therefore increasing
your page yield to 20,000 pages. Even
the largest files are handled with ease.
The Epson MiTech technology, enables
very good memory management and the
printer includes 64MB RAM standard,
upgradeable to 512MB. Finally, with a
monthly print volume of 120,000 pages
in black and white, this printer is highly
reliable.
At the heart of this impressive
performance is our powerful Dual ASIC
technology that delivers optimum print
engine operation, fast image processing
and high quality output. At the touch of a
button you can print high volumes of
business documents quickly and
efficiently.
You need high quality results?
As a world leader in imaging technology
you can count on us to provide the
highest quality.
With the Epson AcuLaser 2600 series,
even the finest details are accurately
reproduced in vibrant natural colours and
crisp black and white using our
innovative Epson AcuBrite toners.
When printing in colour, perfect output is
achieved through our innovative Epson
AcuLaser Colour 2400 RIT* that
automatically smoothes out jagged
edges in text and graphics.
*Resolution improvement technology
For great black and white printing,
just insert one or four black toners.
To convert to colour printing, just add
the CMYK toners.

You want hassle free printing?
Printer management and IT support is
made easy thanks to the fact that when
users want to print in colour, there is no
need for a separate printer. They'll be
able to use the printer straight away as
there is only one control panel, LCD
display, user interface and one set of
consumables so there really is only one
printer to manage! It's simple to use too,
with a large LCD and control panel that
give you detailed step-by-step
instructions.
The Epson AcuLaser 2600 series
integrates easily with all your
applications. It contains all the common
emulations and interfaces as standard,
including Ethernet 10/100 Base Tx
networking capability. So you can focus
on running your business, we ensure that
minimal downtime and user intervention
is required to run the Epson AcuLaser
2600 series.
