The Epson EcoTank M3140 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 47,000, a four-in-one monochrome ink tank machine that prints, scans, copies, and faxes at up to 39 pages per minute in draft mode. A 35-sheet automatic document feeder sits on top, and two black ink bottles ship inside the box covering roughly 11,000 pages before any refill purchase. The Epson EcoTank M3140 runs 20 ISO pages per minute on standard settings, prints both sides automatically, and holds 250 sheets in its main cassette. Mascom International stocks it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Law firms assembling Milimani court bundles, clinics processing SHA claim forms, insurance agencies copying policy files, schools duplicating exam papers, and county offices logging correspondence all lose time the same way. Someone stands at a flatbed glass lifting the lid page by page, then pays again for toner that runs dry after a few hundred sheets. The Epson EcoTank M3140 answers both problems at once. Load up to 35 pages into the feeder and walk away, then refill the front tanks from a bottle instead of buying a cartridge every month.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who list the M3140 beside its cheaper siblings without explaining the difference, Mascom International shows buyers exactly what the feeder, the fax line, and the colour touch panel add. Users consistently report that the pigment ink holds up on documents handled with damp hands and stored in humid Mombasa offices. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady movement from law practices and medical facilities replacing ageing laser multifunction units.

Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank M3140
What does the Epson EcoTank M3140 cost in Kenya and what can it do?
Mascom International sells the Epson EcoTank M3140 at KSh 47,000. It is a four-in-one monochrome unit: it prints, scans on flatbed glass or through the feeder, copies without a computer attached, and sends and receives faxes over a landline. Draft speed reaches 39 pages per minute, with 20 ISO pages per minute in normal mode. Two-sided printing is automatic. The machine prints black only, so colour originals copy as grey tones.
What does the 35-sheet document feeder actually save me?
Time, and quite a lot of it. The automatic document feeder holds 35 sheets and pulls them through one after another for scanning, copying, or faxing. A 30-page lease agreement copies in a single load instead of thirty lid lifts. Scanning through the feeder runs at about 7 images per minute at 200 dpi. Flatbed glass stays available underneath for ID cards, passports, bound books, and anything the feeder cannot grip safely.
How is the Epson EcoTank M3140 different from the M2140?
The M3140 adds three things the M2140 does not have: the 35-sheet automatic document feeder, a working fax modem, and a 6.1 cm colour touch panel instead of button controls. Print engine, speed, ink bottles, and paper capacity are otherwise the same across both models. The price gap covers document handling, not print quality. Offices that copy stacks of multi-page files daily gain the most from the upgrade.
Does the Epson EcoTank M3140 have Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
No. The Epson EcoTank M3140 connects through Hi-Speed USB only. There is no Wi-Fi, no network port, and no mobile printing app support. One computer drives the printer, which suits a reception desk, a records office, or a single accounts workstation. Offices needing several laptops printing wirelessly should ask our Kimathi Street team about the M3170 instead. Copying and standalone faxing still work with no computer connected at all.
Is fax still worth having in Kenya?
For some sectors, yes. Kenyan courts, insurance underwriters, older bank branches, immigration desks, and several government departments still accept and request faxed documents. The M3140 sends at up to 33.6 kbps, roughly 3 seconds per page, stores 100 speed dial entries, and holds up to 180 received pages in memory when paper runs out. It also faxes directly from a computer. If you never use it, the function simply sits idle.
What does one printed page cost on this machine?
Running cost drives most purchases of this model in Nairobi. A single 005 high-capacity bottle covers up to 6,000 pages, against roughly 1,500 to 2,000 pages from a mono laser cartridge at comparable money. The two bottles supplied in the box print about 11,000 pages combined. A law office printing 800 pages weekly gets close to three months of output before the first refill. Mascom International stocks both 005 and 005S bottles.
Can the Epson EcoTank M3140 print or copy in colour?
No. This is a monochrome machine using black pigment ink only, so colour originals reproduce in shades of grey. The scanner itself captures in colour at 48-bit input, meaning you can scan a colour document to PDF on your computer even though the printer cannot reproduce it on paper. Black-only ink is what keeps the page cost so low. Ask our team about Epson L-series tank printers if you need colour output.
How much printing can it handle each month?
Epson rates the M3140 at a 20,000 page monthly ceiling, with around 5,000 pages as a comfortable working volume. That covers a school exam season, a full month of SACCO member statements, or a clinic printing patient notes daily. The 250-sheet cassette takes half a ream, the output tray catches 100 finished sheets, and a rear slot feeds thicker card or a single envelope without unloading the cassette.
Which Kenyan businesses does this model suit best?
Advocates preparing court bundles, medical practices handling patient files and SHA paperwork, insurance brokers copying claim documents, audit firms working through KRA and eTIMS records, secondary schools running exam and report cycles, and county government offices logging correspondence. Any office where staff spend time feeding pages onto scanner glass one at a time recovers that time immediately. Cyber cafés with heavy document traffic also buy this model regularly from our store.
