A:AnswerI FINALLY FOUND THE PORT!!! It is actually on the right SIDE of the printer but is ACCESSED FROM THE REAR. TURN THE PRINTER COMPLETELY AROUND and you can see that the (now left) side is narrower at the back than at the front, You will find the USB port nestled deeply into the "jog" in the side.
A:AnswerHi SJOhio. The EcoTank ET-2850 can print on standard inkjet-compatible label sheets like Epson Photo Quality Self-Adhesive Sheets.

A:AnswerHi Pj, We cannot test the EcoTank ET-2850 with all third-party media types, so cannot guarantee print quality. The heaviest Epson paper the ET-2850 can print on is 48 lb. Premium Photo Paper Matte. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerYes you can as long as you change the presets to the photo quality inkjet and the finish of the material you are printing on (glossy, matte, etc.) you can also fine tune different color and ink settings.

A:AnswerHi May, You can use the software included with the EcoTank ET-2850 to combine multiple scanned pages into one PDF. As an alternative, The EcoTank ET-3850 has a 30-sheet auto document feeder, which will allow you to scan 30 pages before you have to reload (available at Bestbuy.com at the time this response was written).

A:AnswerHi Vinyl. Unfortunately, we have not tested the ET-2850 with vinyl sticker paper, so we cannot guarantee print functionality. We recommend reaching out to the paper manufacturer to confirm compatibility with our All-In-One Inkjet printers. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerThis printer has a USB port. I don't know what will happen if you don't install all the colors. If you only want to print in black, then get a laser printer, spend less money and get the printouts faster.
A:AnswerHello Andy. Unfortunately, the ET-2850 does include a USB flash drive feature. You can set up Epson Connect services on the printer, which allows you to print and scan documents using the registered e-mail. For additional information on setting up an Epson Connect account, please visit our official Epson Support page. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
