Installation: CX3200
The Epson CX3200 is surprisingly like the R300 with a minor change in the way the trapdoor is mounted. Instead of the screw securing it being to the bottom of the trap door, it’s located perpendicular and at the top of the trap door. Not exactly rocket science. Inside things are a little different as […]
