RELATES TO:

• Epson Stylus A4 and A3+ printers.
• Epson Stylus All-In-One products.

EXPLANATION:

Some Epson printers form part of a 'Series'. They are effectively the same but differ slightly in name, colour, or for some in interface options. The derivative model in an A4 printer 'Series' is often named similarly but carries the suffix '+', '50', or '05'.

As each printer model and its derivative model are effectively the same, they will share the same printer driver. The result is that the original Series model name is displayed on operating system screens, e.g. printers folder (Windows), Printer List (Mac OS X), and by Status Monitor. An example of this is the DX7450, which will be listed as the DX7400.

Please see below for a table listing the models that this applies to:

An exception to this is the Stylus Photo 1290S ('S' = Silver version), which is a re-release of the popular Stylus Photo 1290. Another exception is Epson Stylus inkjet printers that have additional/different letters at the end of the model name to indicate what interface the printer has. An example of this is the Stylus Color 480 and the Stylus Color 480SXU. The original 480 has a Parallel interface only; the 480SXU has both a Parallel and USB interface.

These models are as follows:

Epson produce Laser printers where additional letters are used to represent additional optional features that a product may come with, e.g. a Cabinet (C), Auto Duplex unit (D), Fax (F), Network Card (N), PCL5 (PC5) or PCL6 (PC6) support, Postscript support (PS), extra Cassette Tray (T). 'L' may be used to indicate that it is a 'light' version. The original model may have more features than the 'L' version such as wider printer emulation language support, optional networking, different engine resolution, higher maximum monthly page volume, and more product options.
