Wi-Fi Direct technology allows wireless printing from smartphones, tablets, and computers without requiring a traditional wireless network. Combined with Ethernet and USB connectivity, this provides multiple options for integrating the printer into your office setup.
Cost-Effective Operation
The single multicolor cartridge system reduces ink waste and simplifies replacement. Automatic duplex printing cuts paper consumption by up to 50%, while the Energy Star certification ensures efficient power usage during operation.
Business-Ready Features
With color printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities, the WF-2960 handles diverse office tasks. The 150-sheet input tray minimizes frequent reloading, and the RoHS compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility in manufacturing.
Deployment / Use Cases
The Epson WorkForce WF-2960 is ideally suited for small offices, home offices, and professional workspaces requiring reliable multifunction printing capabilities. Its compact footprint and comprehensive feature set make it an excellent choice for environments where space is limited but functionality cannot be compromised.
This printer excels in handling mixed document workflows including contracts, reports, presentations, and correspondence. The color fax capability maintains document integrity for business communications, while the flatbed scanner accommodates books, magazines, and fragile originals that cannot be fed through document feeders.
Small Office Document Hub
Centralize printing, scanning, copying, and faxing tasks with a single device that supports multiple users through network connectivity. The 150-sheet capacity handles typical daily volumes without constant supervision.
Home Office Productivity
Manage personal and professional printing needs with color documents for presentations alongside monochrome documents for correspondence. Wi-Fi Direct enables printing from mobile devices without complex network configuration.
Physical Profile
The WF-2960 features a sleek black design that blends well with office environments. Measuring 12.20" high × 17.60" wide × 16.40" deep (309.88 × 447.04 × 416.56 mm), this compact all-in-one printer fits comfortably on desks or dedicated printer stands. The flatbed design provides a stable scanning surface while maintaining a manageable footprint for space-constrained workspaces.
