CUSTOMER FEEDBACK :
All functions and interfaces are well conceived. You can be either 'PC Centric' and do everything from your PC, or you could be copier centric, and do almost everything just standing there at the copier, and get almost everything done. Very simple controls. You even have the option to 'print' your document to the Epson FAX, which bypasses the paper and simply sends a high quality fax. Epson included a few if these 'nicely done' features you will learn and love. There are only 2 buttons on the command panel, everything else is touch-screen as needed.
The quality is supreme, the unit is simple to set up and use, and the breath of features you'll need are surprisingly complete. Well engineered, operating costs seem to be normal for ink-jets. The electricity is rated at $2 or less per year.
