The Epson XP-3200 Series is a multifunction printer that can print, scan, and manage ink cartridges. It allows users to change ink cartridges directly from the printer’s control panel without needing a computer. Users can access settings from the home screen, navigate to maintenance, and select the ink cartridge replacement option. The printer also includes features like Epson Status Monitor 3 for monitoring ink levels and print quality. Additionally, it supports scanning originals to a computer using either the printer's control panel or scanning software installed on the computer.
