Rated 3 out of 5 by traderone from set up is a struggle Although it appears this is set to be easy , i struggled with set up for a couple hours. disc would not boot, then I went to site for driver download, wifi connected but not on the win10 side, had to address this siiue, then registration , had to set up a new acct although i have one and have a epson scanner on it, then had to lift the whole thing up just to read the sn#. It appears abit noisy and clinky inside. Ink was abreeze though, well thought out, kudos on that one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by EpsonBuyerLoser from Jams Over and Over and Over and Over I use quality paper in this printer and virtually EVERY start up it jams over and over and over. Finally after clearing the machine 4 or 5 times in a row, it will start up and run nicely. Don't waste your money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by FloridaRealtor from Dislike I bought this a couple of months ago and the scanner never works! The scanner is constantly in need of updates, and there is always a communication error. At least the printer and fax work fine. I've been on the phone with Epson technical support several times. I can't believe what a time sink this is - I purchased something more expensive than I normally would to make life easier not more difficult. I'm shocked by all of the amazing reviews.

Rated 4 out of 5 by stjames70 from Great Network Printer! I have had two generations of HP Laser Jets and they always lose connectivity to Windows based computers. HP printers though, never lost connectivity to our OSX computers. This Epson printers NEVER loses connectivity and it prints super fast in comparison to the HP all-in-one printers. It does not get 5 stars because its scanning suite and scanner portion are no competition to the HP. HP software allowed for easy creation of destination network folders. Unfortunately Epson's software is just not as robust or easy to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sapprwo from great its work great but there is a problem, if i print couple of pages and after 3 or 4 pages one or two pages have some lines that are in italic. i don't know why?

Rated 5 out of 5 by BillR from Terrific printer and a real work horse. We needed to replace our old printer as it would not hold up to three people working from home. This unit is reliable, relatively quiet, and out produces our old printer by a quantum leap. I really like that it has an ink "tank" instead of the cartridges like the old unit. The only drawback is that it is Black only, but as everything we print doesn't need to be in color, that is just fine. The footprint is smaller that the old unit and it can scan, fax and print. PERFECT!

Rated 2 out of 5 by KIFAFP from Bought to use with Verizon WiFi Units We are not happy with this Printer. We bought it to use with Verizon WiFi internet units. We have 3 units, and this Printer will not function if another WiFi is turned on first. I like the speed of the printing, but not the lack of ability to hold more than one WiFi ID and Password in memory. I also don't like the weird structure of this printer with the overhead structure. I have to set this up on a USB cable, since it is such a pain on the WiFi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LA Woman007 from Great Savings on Ink! Printing Quality Excellent We purchased two of these for our home based business. The printing quality is equal to our laser printers! I am thrilled with that as this does not print like a usual inkjet. Impressed beyond with that! Savings: Unbelievable as we print literally hundreds of pages a day... the ink cartridge does not seem to lessen! Insanely happy about that! Overall this is a great machine! Cons: I can't stand the printing software! It is like going back 20 years in time and is sloppy and antiquated - two steps up from DOS (I hope they upgrade this for us, as it would have been a deal breaker for me had I known in advance). The paper tray is a bit odd, but, I can live with it. Truly, the shining star of this machine is its printing quality and cost savings one will receive from not having to purchase ink and/or cartridges. Epson: if you all really listen to your clients: please update the scanning software so it is not so antiquated. Otherwise, love the machine!

Notes:

¹ Savings comparison and cost per ISO page based on the purchase cost of a replacement ink bottle and the cost of enough mono toner cartridges to achieve the total page yields of the ink bottle using the manufacturers' online prices and yields for the highest-capacity toner cartridges for the best-selling similarly featured mono laser printers priced at $499 (USD) with speeds of 30 ppm or less per industry-available data as of July 2018. Actual savings will vary based on print tasks, print volumes and usage conditions.

² Part of the ink from the included bottle is used for initial setup, yields are lower than those of replacement ink bottles. Replacement ink bottle yields based on the ISO/IEC 19752 pattern with Epson’s methodology. Actual ink yields will vary considerably for reasons including images printed, print settings, temperature and humidity. Ink is used for printing and printer maintenance, and the ink must be available for printing. For more information, visit www.epson.com/inkinfo

³ 12 months of standard limited warranty or 50,000 plain paper sheets (whichever happens first). For an additional 12 months (total of 24 months or 50,000 plain paper sheets, whichever happens first), register your product and use Epson genuine ink bottles. See Limited Warranty for details.
