Epson EcoTank setup and troubleshooting
EcoTank printers (such as the ET-2800, ET-2850, ET-3850 and ET-4850) replace cartridges with refillable tanks. They’re cheap to run, but first setup and print quality maintenance need a little care.
How to set up a Epson EcoTank
- Fill each tank with its matching bottle — the bottles are keyed so they only fit the right tank.
- Turn the printer on and let ink charging finish completely.
- Use Epson Smart Panel or the printer’s Wi-Fi Setup Wizard to connect.
- Install the Epson driver package or add the printer through your computer’s settings.
Then add it to your computer: Windows 11 · Windows 10 · Mac · Chromebook · Phone
Worth knowing
Models without a screen (for example the ET-2800) are set up through Epson Smart Panel or the setup software.
