Score 8.0/10

+ Very easy to install and we were up and running in minutes. Everything needed came with the printer.

- Even with a rough print, the speed is slightly slower than some other printers. As a unit, it is quite bulky.

Meir , London

Score 4.0/10

+ Includes all in one (printer, fax, scaner). wireless

- 1) No possibilily to switch on and off, only to disconnect from mains. 2) Ineffective power save mechanism- the machine 'switches on' several times a day without prompt 3) When fax connected to the phone line, the quality of phone conversations declines. 4) Paper does not move easily from the tray hence gets 'stuck' all too often.

- Instructions for setting the fax up were a little confusing with regards to whether we had analog or dialog phone etc. I think the pack should contacin all that is required for set up.
