This section outlines the core performance metrics derived from the manufacturer data. Speeds and resolutions are listed as stated.

Cartridge‑free printing with integrated tanks

EcoTank uses high‑yield ink bottles rather than cartridges. The key‑lock bottles help prevent incorrect colour insertion. This design supports mess‑free refills for home and small offices.

You can save up to 90% on printing costs compared with cartridge models. One set of bottles delivers up to 4,500 pages in black and 7,500 in colour. Ink is included for up to three years in the box.

Fast first‑page output and manual duplex

Time to first page is 10 seconds for black and 16 seconds for colour. The printer supports manual duplex printing for double‑sided documents. Borderless printing is available for photos.

The 100‑sheet rear paper tray handles A4, A5, A6, B5, B6, envelopes, and photo sizes. Output capacity is 30 sheets. This suits busy home or small office workflows.

Connectivity and mobile control

Wi‑Fi and Wi‑Fi Direct are supported. Ethernet is not specified, so confirm wired network needs. USB port and direct printing are available.

Use the Epson Smart Panel app to print, copy, and scan from a smart device. You can also set up, monitor, and troubleshoot the printer from your phone or tablet. Security algorithms include WPA‑AES and WEP variants.

Scanning and fax functions

Colour scanning uses a flatbed CIS scanner with 1200 x 2400 DPI optical resolution. Supported image formats include PICT, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and JPEG. Documents can be saved as PDF.

Mono faxing is supported with a 3‑second per page transmission speed. Fax memory holds 100 pages, and Error Correction Mode ECM is included. Modem speed is 33.6 Kbit/s.

Display and control

A 3.7 cm colour LCD is built into the unit. This aids setup and status checks without a PC. The multi‑purpose tray holds 100 sheets.

Copying is not supported on this model. If you need standalone copying, verify an alternative MFP. The scanner lid is flatbed only.

Energy efficiency and power

Typical Electricity Consumption is 0.13 kWh per week (Energy Star). Ready power is 4.5 W, sleep is 0.7 W, and off is 0.2 W. Copying power is 12 W.

AC input voltage is 100–240 V at 50–60 Hz. This suits UK mains, but confirm the plug type with your supplier. Heat‑free Micro Piezo technology reduces energy use.
