A:AnswerHello. When the ET-2850 is not in use, it measures 13.7 inches in depth. When the printer is in use, it measures 22.3 inches in depth. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi EpsonSalts, Download or open the User's Guide on the Epson support site for the ET-2850 and look on page 122. The instructions for scanning using the included SmartScan software start there. If you have not installed SmartScan, you can download it from the same support site. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello. The ET-2850 can print on 8.5" x 14" paper and is compatible with macOS 12.1. Unfortunately, most of our All-In-One printers won't work because different technology found in standalone scanners is required. We recommend looking at the V600 Photo Scanner as it is an excellent option for 35mm slides. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello. We use ISO standards to determine ink yields on the ET-2850. When using a new set of color inks, you can print approximately 6,000 Color ISO pages. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello jenn. The maximum scan bed size for the ET-2850 is 8.5" x 11.7". Unfortunately, the printer cannot scan 8.5" x 14" sized documents. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi Paddy, The EcoTank ET-2850 does not have an SD slot. That feature is more common on Epson Expression series printers. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Antonio. The ET-2850 is just as reliable with a USB connection as it is wirelessly. All features will be available for use with either connection. Make sure to install the print driver from our official Epson Support page before setup. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Willee51. The ET-2850 can print on card stock paper. The heaviest paper supported is 27 lb (100 g/m2). Also, with EcoTank printers compared to "standard ink-jet printers" using ink cartridges, you can expect cost-saving benefits and higher print yields using Ink Bottles. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

A:AnswerHi Quiltergranny, Sorry, the EcoTank ET-2850 prints on paper and photo paper, not fabric. You can print on Epson Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer paper and iron the image onto fabric using as household iron. The images last through multiple washes. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Deb. Unfortunately, the ET-2850 does not include fax functionality. We recommend looking at the ET-4850; it includes all of the same features as the ET-2850 and can fax. At the time of this posting, it is currently in stock on BestBuy's website; please be aware that inventory can change. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.

A:AnswerHi Annie, The EcoTank ET-2850 is wireless. You do not need to connect anything other than the power cord to print and scan using computers, smart phones and tablets that are on the same Wi-Fi network. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi Michael, The EcoTank ET-2850 will print on 3" x 5" and 4" x 6" paper. It is specified to print Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte, which is 44 lbs. Even if your card stock is within this range, it may not feed in the printer or the print quality may decline depending on the card stock's properties or quality. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi Edd, We use the ISO method to test print speed. Based on ISO testing, the EcoTank ET-2850 can print 10 black pages per minute and 4.5 color pages per minute. Visit the Epson support site for details. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
