Epson has a range of what it calls “Epson Connect” solutions available across its range of printers, although not all models support all the options available. There are four Epson Connect solutions: Epson Email Print, Epson Remote Print, Epson Scan To Cloud and Epson iPrint.

With a direct Internet connection, you can scan documents or photos with a few taps on the printer’s control panel. Then share your scanned file to preset email addresses or online cloud storage accounts without the need for an attached printer.
You can scan old family photos and household documents to Cloud services for safe-keeping, or send directly to friends and family.
