I purchased this Epson Ecotank in September 2022, and it is still my main printer/scanner as of February 2026
Setup:
In this, the first of two parts, I show you how to fill the tanks, and initiate this latest EcoTank model from EPSON. In US it is called ET-3850 and in Asia L6270. It has ADF (auto document feed) and double sided printing

ADF & Double Sided Printing
In part 2 of the EPSON EcoTank ET-3850 (L6270) review, I demonstrate the scanner’s automatic document feed. I also show auto double sided printing, as well as photocopying.

My verdict on the EK3800 (L6270)
The EK3800 (L6270) is part of the ‘EcoTank’ range from Epson, saving hundreds of dollars per year with its easy-fill tank system. The cost and environmental impact of cartridge printers make these ‘Super Tank’ printers the wisest choice.
This all-in-one printer has a decent print resolution of 4800 x 1200, which is great for photos. In black and white, it has a printing speed of 15.5 pages per minute. This is decreased to 8.5 in color mode.
The automatic double-sided printing saves time and money, making it very environmentally friendly.
The Automatic Document Feeding (ADF) feature allows for copying (or just scanning) of a document of several pages with one click of the mouse.
