Epson SureColor S8170 Driver Download

Epson SureColor S8170 Driver establishes communication between the computer and this solvent printer during setup. A USB connection links one nearby computer, while network access carries jobs from other connected systems. The software passes media, color, and output selections to the printer before production begins. Proper recognition also keeps the required print settings available and reduces jobs sent with incomplete instructions.

Epson SureColor S8170 Specifications

The Epson SureColor S8170 is a 64-inch roll printer made for solvent-based print production. Printing comes from a 2.64-inch PrecisionCore Micro TFP printhead, backed by Nozzle Verification Technology to watch for nozzle faults. The UltraChrome GS3 ink system uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, plus light cyan and light magenta. A 4.3-inch optical touch LCD controls the machine. Scanner, copier, fax, and cut-sheet functions are not part of this model.

Maximum output resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi. Across the six ink channels, the printhead contains 9,600 nozzles, divided evenly at 1,600 per color. Its smallest droplet is 4.4 picoliters, and variable droplet control can form three droplet sizes in one printed line. The printer has 4 GB of memory and uses Epson ESC/P raster language. Ink is supplied in 800 mL or 1.5 L packs, and the printhead can be replaced by the user.

Media travels through a friction-feed roll path rather than a sheet tray. Roll width can range from 11.81 to 64 inches, and material must remain under 1 mm thick. The spindle accepts rolls measuring up to 9.84 inches across and weighing no more than 99.21 pounds. An automatic take-up reel gathers finished output during longer jobs. Side margins are 5 mm, and the feed system does not accept cut sheets or envelopes.

A nearby computer can connect through the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port. Networked printing uses Ethernet at 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T speeds. During operation, the printer measures 103.15 inches wide, 39.53 inches deep, and 40.2 inches high. Closing the working sections reduces its depth to 36.42 inches, although the machine still weighs 750 pounds. Power use is about 1,350 watts during printing, falling to 500 watts in ready mode, 3.4 watts in sleep, and 0.3 watt when switched off.
