- Good points:
- It is fast, was a good price. Versatile (FAX, Scanning, Phone, as well as printing). Software supplied for scanning is good.
- Bad points:
-
The paper tray is a little inconvenient - having to take the tray out every time. The result of this is that I have stopped using the reverse side of paper for draft copies - it takes too long. The overall result is that I am not being so environmental because I am throwing away paper with only one side used.
The paper feed does not take self-adhesive address labels - I have to use another printer for this.
As a result of both of these shortcomings, I have had to keep my old Epson because it is better in both respects - a nuisance because I had hope to release the space.
