Singapore, 13th November 2006 - Epson, a world leader in digital imaging, announced the launch of the EPSON Stylus CX6900F.  The cumbersome single function fax machine now takes on a new life as an integrated function in Epson's newest AIO (all-in-one).  Capable of sending and receiving faxes in black and colour, the EPSON Stylus CX6900F is the perfect solution for small home office users looking for the multifunctional convenience of photo printing, scanning, faxing, copying and durable prints in a single compact body.

Convenience with Fax Capability
The PC-less feature means the EPSON Stylus CX6900F is accomplished enough to operate as a standalone without being tethered to a PC - great for small home offices with space constraints. 

The 33.6Kbps colour fax modem allows you to send or receive faxes anytime.  With Auto-Redial as well as a speed dial memory for up to 60 numbers, sending faxes is a breeze.  The EPSON Stylus CX6900F comes with contrast levels setting to allow you to select the precise fax print quality you need.  In addition, tapping on the 'on' or 'off' on the Auto Answer mode helps to prevent receiving unwanted faxes.

Advanced yet so easy-to-use
With the one-line LCD screen snugly fitted on the one-touch control panel, selecting and confirming tasks is as easy as it gets.  Even better, the AIO connects to PictBridge devices, plus the card slots accept all common memory cards.

Apart from printing, scanning and copying operations are also accomplished effortlessly.   With scanning resolutions of up to 1200dpi, documents and images can 
be captured and archived at crisp-sharp quality.  The copy function is likewise simple, users can choose between black or colour copying by tapping on the corresponding one-touch button.

Get fast, economical and high quality prints
The EPSON Stylus CX6900F uses DURABrite Ultra pigment inks to churn out splendid prints that help combat against accidental spills, highlighter smudges and best of all, prints that last a lifetime.  To help small home offices keep operational costs low, the inks come in INKdividual ink cartridges.  This means no ink wastage and translates to great savings since only depleted ink cartridges need to be replaced.   

If quality prints are crucial to your business, the award-winning Micro Piezo* print head system works diligently in the background to deliver prints of superior quality - from black and white documents to colour-rich photo prints.  With print speeds of up to 27 pages per minute for black text and colour printouts and 29 seconds for a 4R print, long endless waits for prints will be a thing of the past.  Twinned with the Variable Sized Droplet Technology (capable of minimum 3 picolitre droplet size), and resolutions of up to 5760dpi, even the most demanding colour prints will sport a smooth beautiful finish.      

Creativity for extra fun!
For photos with a measure of creativity, the bundled EPSON Creativity Suite offers a set of the most common image management tools.  To personalise photos, choose from a wealth of templates or simply design your own.  The Epson Easy Photo Fix also helps with restoring old and faded photos at a click! 

Rely on the dependable EPSON Stylus CX6900F to handle all your office digital imaging and fax requirements.  With the added convenience of PC-less fax function, the EPSON Stylus CX6900F is truly the complete AIO.  Priced at S$298, the AIO is available from November 2006.
