Description

A mono printer unafraid of large formats

The M15140 is built for documents: contracts, invoices, reports and technical drawings come out in black ink, with no colour needed. Unlike most office printers, its format reaches A3+, so wide spreadsheets, construction drawings and diagrams fit on a single sheet. Two-sided printing helps keep paper use down on longer documents.

25 ipm for everyday office work

Under the ISO/IEC 24734 standard, mono print speed is 25 ipm, meaning 25 images per minute on a standard test document. It is a standardised measurement that lets printers from different manufacturers be compared fairly. A multi-page report or a stack of invoices comes out without colleagues queueing at the printer, and the output tray holds 125 sheets at a time.

Ink tanks for large volumes

EcoTank printers do not use the usual replaceable cartridges: ink is poured from a bottle into a tank built into the printer. In an office that means fewer interruptions and fewer empty cartridges piling up. Which ink bottle fits this model and how many pages a single fill yields is not stated in the manufacturer data here; that information is in Epson's supplies list under the model name.

A colour scanner and copier in the same device

Although it prints in mono, the M15140 scans in colour at up to 1200 × 2400 dpi. That makes it possible to digitise colour documents, stamped contracts, photos and hand-drawn diagrams while keeping every shade in the file. Copying runs straight from the device without a computer, which is convenient when a couple of pages need duplicating quickly.

Network connection and three trays

The printer joins the office network over an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, so every employee can reach it. Wi-Fi Direct lets a phone or laptop print directly without a router, and USB suits a single computer. Three standard paper trays let different papers stay loaded at the same time. The device weighs 15 kg, so it needs a solid surface to stand on.

Who this all-in-one printer is for

Accounting and law firms that print large volumes of black-and-white documents every day; engineering and construction companies for whom A3+ drawings are routine; schools and small businesses where several people share one network printer; and any office that wants to bring printing, colour scanning and copying together in a single device.

Questions & answers

Does the M15140 print in colour?

No. Printing is mono, while scanning is in colour. Colour documents can therefore be digitised, but on paper they come out in black ink.

Does the printer handle A3?

Yes, according to the manufacturer the maximum print size is A3+, which is slightly larger than A3. A4 documents are printed as well, of course.

Does it print on both sides automatically?

Yes, a two-sided printing function is listed in the manufacturer data.

Can it send faxes?

No. The device functions are print, scan and copy; the manufacturer data lists no fax.
