Epson EcoTank ET-5850 A4 Print/Scan/Copy/Fax High Performance Business Printer

Product Information

This model can print custom sizes. This lets you print on A5 paper, even if that size isn't in the presets, so we changed the A5 result in Printing Size from 'No' to 'Yes'.

Epson America is a division of Japan-based Seiko Epson Corporation, a manufacturer and supplier of imaging products, semiconductors, liquid crystal displays, and watches. The company has been an innovative designer of ink jet printers and sells an extensive product line. Most of these are geared to home and school use, but Epson continues to extend its line further into the office environment. You should also note what type of printing you're planning. There's a world of difference between traditional printers and the best photo printers, so if you're opting for images on glossy photographic paper, a dedicated inkjet photo printer should be the top choice. Yields based on the ISO/IEC 24712 pattern with Epson's methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Yields may be lower when printing infrequently or predominantly with one ink colour. All ink colours are used for printing and printer maintenance, and all colours must be available for printing. Between its standard connectivity interfaces, which consist of USB 2.0, 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct, as well as its mobile, cloud, and voice-activated features, you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to and using the ET-5170. A USB cable, of course, connects a single computer to the printer, while Wi-Fi Direct is a peer-to-peer networking protocol that connects your mobile devices without either them or the printer being part of the same local area network or connected to the same router. My product is unable to receive faxes after I changed the number of rings to answer, Fax Speed, or DRD settings. What should I do?

The 'Duplex Scanning' test now includes a more detailed result explaining the duplex scanning process. The text also reflects the scanning process in greater detail.

WiFi CERTIFIED™, level of performance subject to the range of the router being used. WiFi Direct may require printer software. Photographs printed on glossy paper looked very attractive, with rich colors and sharp details. The EcoTank tends to emphasize reds and yellows, creating a warm tone that is arguably a little unnatural looking. Shadow areas in photographic prints tended to lose some subtle details.Extremely low ink costs and exceptional performance make the ET-5850 a great fit for a busy office. With a document feeder, duplexer, three paper trays, and two-sided scanning, the ET-5850 is likely to meet the demands of most busy offices. I was able to print from my Mac before with a wireless connection, but now I can't. What should I do? AirPrint enables users to print wirelessly from within applications on Apple devices to AirPrint Compatible Printers connected to a wireless network. You can use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to easily print via Airprint without the need to install drivers or configure the printer queue. Just tap 'print' and select your AirPrint compatible printer, and print!....It's that simple. I'm having trouble sending or receiving faxes over a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone line. Why? At the bottom of the EcoTank Pro product line, the ET-5170 is more compact than its ET-5850 sibling.

The Epson EcoTank ET-8550 succeeds on all fronts - and beyond the high upfront cost of the unit, it’s hard to find fault here. The HP 9015 holds just 250 sheets from one input source, as does the Lexmark MC2535adwe, though the latter also has a one-sheet override tray and can be expanded to a total of 1,451 sheets. The Brother MFC-J5945DW holds 600 sheets from three sources, and the Epson WF-C5790supports 330 sheets (expandable to 830) from two input trays.Using the rear special media tray, the EcoTank made a high-quality letter-size glossy photo print in 2 minutes and 21 seconds. The Canon MB5420 was slightly faster, printing the same photo in 2 minutes and 5 seconds. High-yield inkjets averaged 4 minutes and 31 seconds, while the HP Smart Tank Plus 651 was even slower, taking 5 minutes and 4 seconds. I was able to print from Windows before with an Ethernet connection, but now I can't. What should I do?

The EcoTank ET-5850 makes high-quality prints. Text looked crisp and as close as you can get with an inkjet to the razor-sharp letterforms of a good quality laser printer. Text in two-sided prints looked just as sharp. Scans of documents with mixed text and graphics looked very attractive in PDF format. The document scans looked accurate and detailed. Scans of glossy photographs made at default settings, however, tended to come out darker than the original. Although details were sharp and skin tones looked natural, dark mid tones tended to transition abruptly into shadow, giving an underexposed appearance. Shadows looked too dark and flat, losing details in the original print. Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850: Ink cost and yield The EcoTank Pro ET-5800 Series consist of three all-in-one color printers geared toward small offices. It has standard printing, copying, scanning and faxing features. The three devices are:

The CD-ROM includes two scanning programs. ScanSmart is required for using the “scan to computer” function from the ET-5850's touch screen. In Windows 10, ScanSmart's home screen offers double-sided and single-sided scanning options, and plenty of file saving options. One function you might miss, however, is auto cropping. The scanning area menu only offers document sizes such as letter, A4, etc. If you scan smaller objects, such as a 4-by-6-inch photo or three-fold brochure cover, you will get a lot of white space you'll need to crop out later. The Epson Scan 2 program provides TWAIN compliance. I can't print from Windows with a wireless connection after I replaced my router. What should I do? I can't print from my Mac with a wireless connection since I received an exchange product from Epson. What should I do? The option for 2-Sided Printing (Windows) or Two-sided Printing Settings (Mac) is gray or not available. What should I do?
