Epson EcoTank ET-4856 Specifications
Epson EcoTank ET-4856 is a white A4 EcoTank multifunction inkjet for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. The PrecisionCore printhead carries 400 black nozzles and 128 nozzles for each colour. Refillable tanks pair pigment black ink with dye cyan, magenta, and yellow inks. Black bottles hold 127 ml, and each colour bottle holds 70 ml. A 6.1 cm colour touchscreen sits on the front panel.
Maximum print resolution reaches 4,800 x 1,200 dpi. ISO speed runs at 15.5 pages per minute in monochrome and 8.5 pages per minute in colour. Draft mode raises output to 33 pages per minute in black and 20 pages per minute in colour. For automatic duplex printing, speed reaches 6.5 A4 pages per minute in black and 4.5 pages per minute in colour. First-page timing is 9 seconds for mono output and 15 seconds for colour.
Scanning relies on a CIS unit with 1,200 x 2,400 dpi optical resolution from the flatbed and automatic document feeder. From the ADF, A4 black or colour originals scan at 5 images per minute. Flatbed timing is about 12 seconds in black and 27 seconds in colour. Fax hardware runs at up to 33.6 kbps. The fax memory stores up to 100 pages, and the speed-dial list holds 60 entries.
Paper feeds from one 250-sheet cassette, and printed pages collect in a 30-sheet output tray. Above the scanner, a 30-page automatic document feeder handles originals for scanning, copying, or faxing. The cassette takes A4, A5, A6, B5, and B6 sheets. Envelopes run through the same paper path in DL, C6, or Number 10 size. Photo paper is accepted up to 20 x 25 cm. A wired setup can use USB or Ethernet, while wireless printing runs through Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct. Mobile printing works through AirPrint, Mopria, Epson Smart Panel, and Epson Connect.
