Scanning and copying is enabled via the 8.5 x 11.7" flatbed scanner with an optical resolution of 2400 dpi.

Our Verdict
Epson EcoTank ET-2850 is an all-in-one printer designed for small or home offices. It doesn't have an SD card slot like its predecessor, though it offers USB and Wi-Fi connectivity and supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. As a supertank printer, it has large ink reservoirs that you can refill with Epson T502 ink bottles, increasing page yield and lowering cost per print versus a printer using traditional replaceable cartridges.
