Edited Notes

Similar to the Epson Stylus C84, but slower and cheaper. C63, C64, and PX V500 are the same, C64 is the name for the US market, PX V500 for Japan, and C64 for the rest of the world. These printers are also capable of full-bleed (borderless) printing.

Parallel and USB ports.

Needs Gimp-Print 4.3.21 or 4.2.6pre2 (or newer versions), this printer does not work with the drivers for the C82 or C84.

This printer cannot be tested by sending plain text to it, as the printer may or may not respond to the text. The recommended way to test the connection is by checking the ink level with the escputil command as follows:

escputil -i -u -r /dev/lp0

where /dev/lp0 should be replaced with the name of your printer port.

Consumables/Refills: Four separately changable cartridges for black and the colours
