"Decent for the price"
I decided to write a long review after sponging off of so many others for so long. This is my first review of ANYTHING! We use this printer as a light duty home office printer/scanner/fax and as our main phone. The scanner has been heavily used as I keep almost no paper anymore with my shredder. Read more ...
PROSHappy with print speed, color photo quality, fax with only 1 phone line, setup for ethernet/LAN connection, touch screen menus, PC scan software.
CONSMechanicals are terrible. Scan feeder which commonly tilts/skews it, also misses sheets. Printer feeder for commonly grabs sheets poorly. Handset gives weird feedback sometimes. Confusing answer machine.
