Reviews

Just received the item and it appears to do what’s promised, though I haven’t done any photo printing yet, I think the photo print quality will be just fine, being that they included some small photo paper in the box. I figured that this corded phone would be dead simple. The software included helps interface with the printer including sending pc faxes out through to the printer.
To me, this unit having an answering machine is an extra bonus. Just the diagram isn’t much help and I was a little ‘gun shy’ of breaking sliders that were a little stuck. I love the touch screen and despite a couple menu items not quite in the spot i’d expect (I would have put answering machine and outgoing message recording in better menu hierarchy) it’s just fine and probably won’t need much changing. I just have a regular single phone line and it works as a fax.
I feel bad replacing a perfectly excellent canon 610 scanner / printer with this, but I needed the fax and I was tired of being tethered to the computer. Plus, several of the canon printers say wireless, but only are for bluetooth camera phones. You type in the codes right on the touch screen to connect to your network. You might be wondering, where is the cat5 network and usb printer port? You must set up the printer inks and the tray / test page printing before the phone will work. I’ll probably not revisit this review, but again I haven’t printed out photo quality stuff yet. I doubt this printer will surpass a canon or epson photo printer, but I do think it’s gonna be fine. The epson wi-fi model, one of them had color correction.
