Q: QuestionHello, does this do ADF scanning and ADF printing, Can you load multiple photographs and have the scanner upload to the cloud? As far as printing photos, is there one with the above features that would be better for printing quality photos/upload cloud?

Asked 3 years ago by Mishi.

• A:Answer Hello Mishi. The ADF is primarily used for scanning originals. We generally recommend using the flatbed if you are looking to scan photos. The ET-5850 also supports "Scan to cloud." To use this feature, you must set up an Epson Connect account. We recommend using the print driver or Epson iPrint app for printing photos, as you can select the proper quality settings.

Asked 2 years ago by Denise.

• A:Answer Hello Denise. The ET-5850 works with Epson Iron-on Cool Peel Transfer paper, which can be used with t-shirts.
