It took longer to remove all the packaging packing tape than to set the printer off. Once you’ve got it unpacked and powered on all you do is follow the instructions on the control panel (not difficult) and then set up the wireless by adding your router password. Once done, printer is visible on the network and ready to go. Print quality is excellent even at default settings.
Am pleased with the printer . Seems to be of good build quality and is fairly easy to connect . It’s really easy to scan and print from the Epson app on my android phone .
I have been through several Canon and HP printers and both brands’ setup was a huddle to go through – and imagine completing the same unreasonable steps a few times for the family – never mind the actual printing and maintenance.
However, so far the Epson’s printer minimise all the exhausting steps by automatically completed the setup and upgrades, and would just print the docs I needed as soon as it is connected to the house’s network.
I think it is doing what I want it to do, 10 to 15 mins setup time (unwrap, power on, press a few buttons, insert cartridges, insert papers, wait five minutes, and enter network password) and print.
Thank god for Epson for restoring my faith in printers. As soon as I set it up, I attempted to copy a page from a book that I scanned in. I didn’t need to download 2 apps on my phone, log into both and wait half an hour to be told no. It just scanned the page and printed it. I seconds. Not an app in sight.
Then I needed to print from my PC. I connected my printer to the same WiFi network as my pc, immediately found my printer when I searched for it via the windows find printers and scanners input, added the printer, opened and clicked print on a document, and there it was, 5 seconds, and 5 pages later.
I would never buy a HP printer again if my life depended on it. Epson, absolutely.
I’ve been over the past few years had printer issues brother, wouldn’t connect kept disconnecting HP two printers stopped printing colour , this Epsom was very easy to set up great customer support loads of information and it’s quick with a great print quality I love it. Recommend
Really good printer for the money! Fairly easy to get up and running after all the agreements and registering.
Loved the feature of being able to print documents from my Android phone from bluetooth/wifi.
Print quality is very good and FAST!
Will probably never use the FAX facility but copying, scan and printing will be utilized to the full which is why I purchased this item. Highly recommended.
great product at a great price. Easy to install easy to use. what more can you ask for ?
I set this up next to my Mac computer downloaded the software from Epson website and just followed the prompt on the software.
The computer found the printer really easily and once all the firmware had updated automatically the test page printed off straight away.
Printer prints two sided smoothly with the option of changing to one. The print options are straight forward to adjust.
As I am in the process of selling my house this two sided option is great and saves paper.
The printer seems to print reasonably fast including a jpeg of a gas safety certificate.
Probably like most printers it will clog up over time if you use non epson products. There is an option to buy regularly discounted cartridges.
We won’t need the printer too much after the house move so we haven’t bothered.
There is a touch screen menu on the printer which is very easy to use and follow.
You can also download and app to your phone to use the printer from your phone.
I am a Linux user and found this printer really easy to set up. Linux recognised it straight away, no need to install extra drivers and the scanner was found by the Document Scanner program. Very pleased with how easy to use this printer is. Only one tiny niggle – when there was a firmware update the message said to do it from the settings menu but did not specify exactly which option in this menu, I had to search through everything until I found it!
The printer is a little larger than most but its nicely arranged and well made. The set up is probably much easier if you get one that has the documents still in it, I got mine at a reduced price due to it not having the documents and appeared to be a returned model as it was already set up with the ink cartridges installed. However i got the manuals from on line. I use mine directly connected via USB cable but it can be set up wireless. Print quality is good, little noisy in operation but not that bad, mainly the start up of print.
Let’s see how long the ready installed ink cartridges last.
There was a guide to setting up a fax which I did not take up as this medium is rather rare nowadays in the UK.
So far so good. The package came without a printer cable so I started on the recommended wireless connection option between laptop and printer. I must have gone wrong somewhere as I was not prompted for my number and eventually my son came over and set it up for me. I can now print out attachments or documents created at home.
I have also had problems with setting up the outstanding type of use, scanning a paper document so it can be added as an attachment or scanning a photograph so it can be inserted into a form such as a bus pass application for example. If necessary I will call upon my adult family or pay someone. I use a laptop every day but obviously my advanced skills must be rusty after some years of retirement and being isolated from the world of office work.
Having said that, I think most offices would have someone capable of following the instructions successfully and most of your reviewers have succeeded in using them. In any case setting up a network is an occasional activity soon forgotten in what should hopefully be a good few years of using the printer. I just wish more attention could go into these instructions compared with, say, on screen instructions about making a purchase which are always very clear.
You can have a stressful house move but still have many happy years in your new home and I hope this will similarly be the case with this printer which I rate as four-star.
Since then my printing needs have been less demanding so I have had a couple of ‘expression’ printers that have served their purpose. However, things have changed yet again so another ‘workforce’ printer was in order.
This current one has continued where the last one left off albeit with slightly less facilities than the old one, namely a separate document feeder for photo paper, and only one paper cassette instead of two. The modern one has also now gone touchscreen which works well. This one was just as simple to install and setup as the previous one, both WiFi and Ethernet, & the print quality is excellent for the price, almost laser quality!
It’s first task of printing a 100 page manual, double sided and in colour, was completed without issue. It’s second job of printing a ten page A5 booklet was also completed without a hitch. Copying and scanning were also straight forward and performed faultlessly. Haven’t tried the fax feature as these days I have no need for this, but I’m sure that would be just as simply completed. Printing from my iPhone and iPad has also been just as easy.
I like the separate ink cartridges as it keeps the costs down and, although the genuine cartridges are a tad on the expensive side, the quality is worth paying for in my opinion as it’s always been a bit of a lottery finding good quality & reliable ‘non genuine’ cartridges.
Time will tell if it continues to perform to expectations, but if it performs like our earlier one, I will be more than happy.
