Product Features
Technical Overview
The ET-2980 leverages Epson's PrecisionCore inkjet technology to produce sharp text and vibrant color graphics at resolutions up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. Its flatbed CIS scanner captures color documents at 2400 dpi optical resolution, with scan-to options including email, cloud services, and PC. The copier function supports color copying with enlargement up to 400% and reduction down to 25%, providing flexibility for document handling.
Connectivity is robust, featuring USB for direct wired printing and IEEE 802.11ac wireless for high-speed network integration. Supported wireless print technologies include Epson Connect, Epson Smart Panel App, Epson Remote Print, Apple AirPrint, Android Printing, Mopria Print Service, and Wi-Fi Direct, ensuring compatibility with virtually any mobile device or computer. The printer operates on 120V or 230V AC power with an off-mode consumption of just 100 mW, contributing to energy efficiency.
Key Product Advantages
This printer stands out with its balance of professional output quality and operational economy. The 5000-page duty cycle ensures reliability under sustained use, while the 1.44-inch LCD provides a clear interface for navigating print, scan, and copy functions without a computer.
Cost-Effective EcoTank System
The refillable EcoTank uses individual 502-series ink bottles—127 mL black and 70 mL cyan, magenta, yellow—to dramatically lower cost per page compared to cartridge-based printers, ideal for high-volume printing needs.
High-Productivity Design
With a 100-sheet input capacity, 30-sheet output tray, and automatic duplex printing, the ET-2980 minimizes paper handling and supports efficient back-to-back printing for reports and manuals.
Versatile Media Support
Print on plain paper, glossy photo paper, bright white paper, presentation matte, envelopes, and more, with media sizes ranging from 4x6 inches to legal and A4, accommodating diverse office and creative tasks.
Deployment / Use Cases
The Epson ET-2980 is optimized for environments where space, budget, and multifunction capability are key considerations. Its compatibility with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Windows Server operating systems ensures seamless integration into mixed-IT environments.
Deploy it as a central shared printer in a small office, a dedicated workstation in a home office, or a reliable output device for occasional high-quality photo printing. The automatic duplex function and large ink capacities reduce ongoing supply costs and environmental impact, aligning with sustainability goals.
Small Office / Home Office
