A:AnswerHello Brenda. The ET-8500 can scan both documents and photos and has a maximum resolution of 1200 x 4800 dpi. For paper handling, the maximum supported paperweight is 27 lb (100 g/m2). Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Dave. With ink-jet printer technology, a printer can run into clogging issues if left without use at times. If you plan on using the ET-8500 daily, this should significantly reduce the chances of that happening. If you are not printing often, we recommend printing out a nozzle test pattern from the menu to ensure ink is still cycling through the print head. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
