It certainly sounds like it from that technical bulletin.
I wonder what they mean by large format?  Are 2200's and
1280's considered desktop or large format?

Assuming they do resample, the next question is what is
their resampling algorithm?   Image resampling is one of
the things I'm responsible for in my current job so it's
a topic of some interest to me to see how consumer products
do it (the company I work for makes high-end medical/scientific
imaging gear).   Obviously I can't reveal anything proprietary
but I can tell you this much - we sure don't do it with 
pixel replication!
