What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a well-equipped home-office all-in-one, with sharp documents, quick two-sided printing and scanning, easy set-up and very low running costs. The common complaints are the single paper tray, with no rear feeder for photo paper, and slow glossy photos that Digital Camera World found lacking depth, though RTINGS rated them fine for casual use.
