Decision: The L15150 is the clear overall winner for functions, paper size, speed, document handling, paper capacity and connectivity. The DCP-T230 may suit users who only need basic A4 tasks and prioritize lower weight and reduced power use.
Both printers use four-color CMYK ink systems and support printing, scanning, copying and borderless output. They also share an optical scan resolution of 1200 × 2400 dpi and operate on AC 220–240 V at 50–60 Hz.
The L15150 adds faxing and supports A3, while the DCP-T230 is limited to A4. Epson is faster at 25 versus 16 ppm in black ISO printing and 12 versus 9 ppm in color, while its input and output capacities are 550 and 125 sheets compared with 150 and 50 sheets. It also provides an ADF, duplex scanning, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet and automatic duplex printing. Brother relies on USB 2.0 and manual duplexing. In return, the DCP-T230 weighs 6.3 kg rather than 20.7 kg and uses less power in ready, sleep and powered-off modes.
The L15150 suits users needing A3, faxing, multi-page handling, larger capacities and network connectivity. The DCP-T230 suits basic A4 print, scan and copy tasks in a lighter device.
The L15150 supports printing, scanning, copying, faxing and A3 paper, with an ADF, duplex scanning, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a touchscreen. The DCP-T230 supports A4 printing, scanning and copying, relies on USB 2.0 and provides manual duplexing in a lighter body.
Based on current prices, DCP-T230 Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 115 USD versus 825 USD for EcoTank L15150 Printer. The price difference is 710 USD, about 86.1% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The L15150 better suits users who need A3, faxing, multi-page handling through an ADF, large paper capacities and network connectivity. The DCP-T230 may suit users who only need A4 printing, scanning and copying and prefer a lighter printer with lower power consumption.
Both provide color printing through four-color CMYK systems and support printing, scanning, copying and borderless output. Each also offers an optical scan resolution of 1200 × 2400 dpi and operates on 220–240 V at 50–60 Hz.
The L15150 reaches 25 ppm black and 12 ppm color in ISO printing, compared with 16 and 9 ppm on the DCP-T230. It also holds 550 sheets for input and 125 for output, versus 150 sheets input and 50 sheets output on the Brother model.
