Welcome!

The EPSON Stylus®C84 printer is the ideal desktop printer for business and home

use. With its exceptional speed and print resolutions, it is practical for everyday use,

yet capable of delivering superior photo printing. It provides you with these advanced

features:

■EPSON’s exclusive DuraBrite®inks. These quick-drying inks are resistant to

water and fading, so printsstand the test of time. Because the ink particles remain

near the surface and don’t bleed through, they’re ideal for double-sided prints.

Note: The light resistance of prints is rated up to 80 years on specialty papers, and

70 years on plain paper. The light resistance rating is based on accelerated testing of

prints on EPSON®special media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual print stability

will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light intensity,

humidity, and other atmospheric conditions. EPSON does not guarantee the longevity

of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or lamination or

properly store them.

■True BorderFree®frame-ready prints on select 4 × 6 and letter-size papers.

■Resolution Performance Management™(RPM™) technology, which optimizesthe

number and placement of ink droplets on various papers. Delivers superior photo

quality with manageable print file sizes.

■Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format support. This international standard

ensures the accurate reproduction of your digital camera images. Most digital

cameras store Exif Print information, such as shutter speed, metering, flash, and

exposure settings, in the JPEG image file. Your printer, with EPSON Software™

Film Factory,

™uses these settings to create accurate prints.

About Your Software

Your printer CD-ROM includes all the software you need for printing. See the

Start Here sheet for installation instructions.

■Your printer driver runs your printer and lets you control how your documents

look. You can’t print without it.

Tip: It’s a good idea to check EPSON’s support website periodically for free

updates to your printer driver. Visit http://support.epson.com.

■Your EPSON Printer Information Center gives you quick, on-screen access to

information about your printer. It includes animated tutorials and an on-screen

User’s Guide for complete information about your printer.

■EPSON Software Film Factory is a photo management program that lets you

organize, beautify, and print your photos in a flash. Supports PRINT Image

Matching™(P.I.M. II) and Exif Print.
