Epson Data Collection Agent
Epson Data Collection Agent (EDCA) is a background utility installed alongside Epson printer and scanner drivers that collects device usage data and manages communication between your Mac and Epson hardware. The application monitors print jobs, tracks device performance metrics, and transmits usage statistics to help improve Epson's products and services. While designed to enhance the printing experience by providing device insights and managing updates, some users report high CPU usage issues with this utility. The agent runs automatically in the background and is typically installed as part of Epson's comprehensive driver packages for their printers, scanners, and projectors.
