VALERIE, ILKESTON
Score 10.0/10+ Very compact and easy to put the colour cartridges in. Have not managed to get it together as far as the printer goes as I have to purchase a USB cable for it to work and although I have purchased two they are no good as I have to have a telephone point in the room to get the fax working. Have contacted a specialist who says I can work it without the fax, but there is no point in having it if I am not going to use it. Can photo copy without the USB cable to excellent quality and colour.
- I think printers ought to be supplied with the proper USB cable then there would be no problem in setting it up for use. I have no problem with anything else.

Score 6.0/10+ speed of use,good ink usage and ultimately ink cost
- colour rendering and fax not compatible with BT answer service

Score 1.0/10+ Fax facility.
- Should the black ink cartridge not require replacing, the machine will, nevertheless, not operate until all the rest of spent ink cartridges are replaced. I, therefore, go to the post office when necessary, to copy items which only costs 10p a sheet. Consequently, the multi function aspect is redundant and is best served solely as a fax machine. I use my original printer to print.
