A:AnswerHello Enigma007. The ET-4850 includes automatic 2-sided printing as a feature, which means you can print a 2-sided copy. Unfortunately, the printer cannot do 2-sided scanning. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello Heidi. The ET-3850 and ET-4850 are very similar in features. The main difference is that the ET-4850 includes fax functionality. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Tema
A:AnswerHi there, do you know why my ET-4850 do not scan multiple documents? it seems to stop after 2 documents... do you need to set this up to scan more than 2 pages?
Thank you
A:AnswerThis is very misleading. the ET-4850 - which I just bought - does not do 2 sided original to 2 sided copy for the very reason it does not do 2 sided scanning.
I wasted my money
A:AnswerHello Theodore. The ET-4760 and ET-4850 are virtually identical in design and specifications. The ET-4850 is offered with a textured panel and is slightly faster as it can print 15.5 ISO black and 8.5 ISO color pages per minute. The ET-4760 can print 15 ISO black and 8 ISO color pages per minute. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello hlonn. The ET-4760 and ET-4850 both include Automatic 2-Sided printing and copying. Unfortunately, both printers do not have an option for double-sided scanning. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello 4850. Yes, the ET-4850 includes four bottles of ink to get started. This includes Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Regards, Syd - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerFor my at home business, I chose the EcoTank ET-4850, however, I did compare the two printers in question before I made my decision. Features that are the same: up to 2 years of ink included, ADF (automatic document feeder) with a 30 sheet capacity, flatbed capacity of 250 sheets, can print on any kind of paper even glossy photo paper, connects via USB, wireless, WiFi Direct and Ethernet, and lastly one of my favorite features is Voice Activated Printing (Alexa, Google Assistant & Siri). Features that I found a noticeable difference are: ET-3850 NO FAX, the 2.4” color LCD screen is NOT a touchscreen, and the included ink should print up to 7,500 in black and 6,000 sheets in color! While the Workforce ST-C4100 features include Fax, scan to: PC & Cloud, 2.4” color touchscreen, included ink should print up to 14,000 in black and 11,200 sheets in color and an added feature of “Epson Solution Suite” an added security feature to protect you data! To sum it up, it’s boils down to you personal/business needs and preferences. So you need the FAX? Are you planning on printing 11,200 color sheets within the next year or so? Is not having a touchscreen a deal maker or deal breaker? They both are excellent options for any need. Again, I own the EcoTank ET-4850 & I’m so in love! It has all the features of the Workforce you are considering except: no added security app feature and it prints 7,500 black/6,000 color and is a tiny bit smaller in size but perfect for my at home business needs! Either way, you won’t regret purchasing any of them, it simply goes back to the question at hand. What are your personal/business needs? I hope this helped, have a blessed day!
A:AnswerHi HeyJoe, The EcoTank ET-4850 can print, scan and copy, so you can scan a document on it and it will print a copy. You can connect it wirelessly to a computer, smart phone or tablet and print and scan without a connecting cable. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

A:AnswerHello Babsnrlabs. Yes, the ET-4850 fax feature can only be used with a telephone landline. You can fax from the printer's control panel or via the Fax Utility software from a computer. Please visit our official Epson Support page to download the latest version of the Epson Fax Utility. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi WinterIsComing, You need a land line to fax with the EcoTank ET-4850. If you have a VOIP phone check with your Internet provider to see if it supports fax. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHi JoyfulR, Yes, Epson tank printers produce the same high-quality output as our cartridge printers. The EcoTank ET-4850 is a light office/home office printer. It prints fast, excellent quality documents on plain paper and very good quality photos on photo and photo-matte paper. Setting the driver to High, rather than the default Standard quality will produce better text and images. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.
