What is the USB port doing within the front of my printer?

My Printer:Epson CX6000,I enjoy a USB port with a short time sign on top showing two drops or something.What the heck is this for?

What is the USB port doing within the front of my printer?

On page 20 of the manual: http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/cx6k_...

It explains that this is for connecting a digital camera for USB DIRECT-PRINT.



Hope this help!

It's probably there so you can connect a digital camera to your printer, so that you can print pictures from the digital camera in need downloading them to your computer first. That's how it works in my printer, although it's a different brand, plainly.
It's so you can plug in your USB flash drive and print photos directly from that.
The USB port on the front of the Epson CX6000 is for external devices just ie a camera can be plugged in and directly print from the camera to the printer



Here is a correlation to the CX6000 guide



Hope this helps
