The Epson M1170 is another EcoTank machine built for offices, but unlike the M3170 and M2170, it only prints. It is not built to scan or copy, let alone fax pages. It does, however, print in black only, as is the case with the other two machines.

Everything else is mostly the same between the three printers. From the print speed, paper handling, network connectivity, supported operating systems, to the ink system, they are all the same.

Features and Highlights

Cheaper and Lighter

Compared to the M2170 and M3170, the Epson M1170 has the fewest features, which is why it is the cheapest of the three. It is by no means the worst choice, however. On the contrary, it is actually the most reasonable choice for anyone who doesn’t need to scan or copy physical documents.

Another benefit from the printer having fewer features is that it doesn’t weigh as much. While moving a printer around is not something you’d do often, being able to lift it without asking for anyone’s help is certainly a plus that comes in handy when you do need to rearrange your workspace.

Print from Anywhere, Anytime

The 4.3 kg mono printer is armed with nearly all the connectivity options you could expect from a printing device made for office use, with NFC being the only exception. This versatility allows users to print with or without a PC.

Even when you’re working remotely, you can still connect to the printer to print documents as easily as sending an email with the documents attached to the printer’s email address.

An Excellent Printer in More Ways Than One

When it comes to print speed, the Epson M1170 does fall behind its laser counterparts, but not by much. Plus, its printing cost is a mere 0.3 cents per page (CPP). Combine that with its minimal power usage, and this inkjet printer stands out as the winner for offices that prioritize operational costs over speed.

In terms of text quality — the area where the average laser printers excel — the Epson M1170 is just as good even though it prints at a lower cost per page. Add to this its ultra-high page yield ink and a total print capacity of 251 pages, which make the printer even more awesome.

About Epson M1170 Resetter

Even the flagship of the monochrome printer family, the M3170, cannot escape from the waste ink counter issue, let alone the cheapest one. When the printer throws in an end-of-service error message, it could be a sign that the counter reaches a point where it needs a reset, which is something that this resetter can do.

There are four main steps to take with this resetter to fix the issue: select the printer model, select the Waste Ink Pad Counter menu, initialize the counter, and restart the printer.
