My son has a lot of health issues that I need to get uploaded to a flash drive. To do that, I needed to scan his medical records. With my old scanner I would have to sit and manually place each sheet. One wrong move and it deleted all the work I had done. With this adf scanner I was able to scan more than 1000 medical sheets within two days. While it scanned approx 30 pages at a time I could go and get other things done around the house. The price I paid and the stress it saved me was like getting one of the best Christmas gifts of all time.

I bought this and the WF-3520 and a Photo Sylus 3880 within a month or so of each other so I am a die hard Epson printer guy. I also have and R1800 and two more older 3 in ones and a regular printer. I love the new colors on the 3880 and prints are exquisite. The smaller ones work great and were easy to set up, are wireless and easy to move around. I also say get an Epson and do yourself a favor. Epson you make a great product. Love you papers (special ones) and inks. All a great package.

Does very decent color printing, and the multi-document scanner makes handling large volumes of documents easier since you don't have to insert and remove each document as on a flatbed single page scanner, although you probably want to load no more than about 20 at a time. The one problem - and this seems to apply to all fax machines - is that if you use VOIP phone service faxes may not work; this is the case with Magicjack.

Always have had Epson printers since my first computer and this is another high quality, easy-to-use unit. Had it for about a month and the ink lasts pretty good, the scanner works great for our PDF work documents & photos. Epson has always been our choice.

When any of the color ink runs out, the printer will not print, even in black only. Apparently, it uses a little bit of color, even for black/greyscale jobs. Not impressed - liked the printer because you "only replace what you need." Sorry, I only need black, and it's brand new. I don't need magenta - except I do. To print black. No good!!!!

The Epson WF-2530 multi function printer is definitely affordable but replacing the ink cartridges costs you a fortune. We have 4 of these in our office and they all scan extremely slow and the ADF Feeder consistently gets jammed. If you just need to print of scan occasionally, it does the job.

I have had this printer for about 1 year. I have 2 college students in my house. This printer worked great until about 2 months ago. It got low on the black ink, so I changed it with Epson genuine ink and it seemed to go through the replace cart process just fine, but now it doesn't print in black. I have changed the ink and cleaned the heads several times. no change. It prints color just fine. There does not seem to be a solution accept to get a new printer at this point.

Not even worth a 1 STAR- but I was required to! 1) It shakes all over while "working". 2) It takes a "while" to start the task required (as if it needs to realllllly think about what it has to do before it does it). 3) The front panel is complicated to program and doesn't appear to "save" settings. 4) It is a complete INK HOG! 5) It will NOT print when cartridge is low- it completely shuts down! That reallllllly IRKS me! At least with other printers you can STILL print with low ink! I ALWAYS save receipts, but somehow- I lost my the receipt, otherwise I would have returned it immediately! I'm stuck with it-UGH!

disappointed in the device, and will be returning it. from the beginning there were issues with the download of software components. the mechanism for updates malfunctions and ceases to work. paperfeed will only allow one piece of paper at a time, without the paper feeding in at an increasingly difficult angle, that ultimately results in a jam. don't buy this printer.

I have two of these in the family. They're poor to say the least, if there were zero stars I'd start there. I've have had to clean the print heads so much that I have used more ink cleaning them than printing. Every time I go to use this "none-in-one" I have spend more and more time supporting/fixing/cleaning it. It should not be this way. It burns through ink (lots of cleaning) It prints very poorly if left to sit for more than a day requiring the heads to be cleaned. It using it it takes it takes the firmware MINUTES to figure out what we're asking of it. This applies for simple tasks like making a copy. The scanning software won't find the machine after the initial install requiring it to be re-installed again and again. I won't do Epson again and won't let friends or family either.
