EPSON ANNOUNCES AFFORDABLE. FEATURE-RICH LASER PRINTER

ActionLaser 1100 is "A Personal Printer With No Compromises"

TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 29, 1994 - EPSON today announced it has added an
affordable, feature-rich personal laser printer to the company's highly
successful ActionLaser product line. The new EPSON ActionLaser 1100 is
specifically designed for individuals who want the market's best laser
print quality for their dollar.

"The EPSON ActionLaser 1100 combines the same technology and print quality
of our versatile laser printers for the office with an inexpensive
pricetag for the individual user," said Edie Dees, group product manager,
printers, EPSON. "ActionLaser printers have been cited in numerous
publications for their top-notch compatibility, expandability, output
quality, performance, ease of installation, and documentation. The
ActionLaser 1100 is a personal printer with no compromises, and we know it
will earn the same reputation as other members of the product line."

The ActionLaser 1100 operates at a speed of four pages per minute and
features resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi). Output quality is
excellent due to the use of edge smoothing technology, which virtually
eliminates jagged edges. Equipped with 1 MB of memory, the printer's
utilization of image compression technology enables users to print more
complex documents than with 1 MB of conventional memory. The ActionLaser
1100's memory is upgradeable to 5 MB using industry-standard SIMMs. Other
key features of the ActionLaser 1 100 include:

* Twenty-two fonts, eight of them scalable to any size
* PCL5 emulation (HP LaserJet III)
* 100-sheet paper tray that feeds both letter and legal size
  paper or up to 10 envelopes
* High-speed bi-directional parallel interface, which increases
  the transfer rate between the PC and printer, enabling faster
  printing
* Windows 3.1 driver
* EPSON's Printer Control Panel software, which allows easy setup
  and control of the printer from the PC, and provides users with
  on-screen printer status messages
* 4,000-page imaging cartridge housed in a single unit, allowing
  for an easier, less messy way to change cartridges
* Toner-saving mode for use when printing draft documents
* Sleep mode, which goes into effect after 15 minutes of
  inactivity, allowing the printer to draw very little power

The EPSON ActionLaser 1100, which is available now through the company's
nationwide network of authorized retail dealers, carries a manufacturer's
suggested retail price of $649. A host-based Postscript Level ll
compatible option, priced at $119, will be available in Q4.
