Text is sharp and black, and color prints are nice. Virtually everything that comes out of it is top-notch.

On the plus side, though you’ll have plenty of time to go to the store for more expensive ink during some of its operations, the WF-2540 produces very nice Modest one when we used Quality mode, so stick with those on the WF-2540 unless you’re looking to kill time. There was no perceptible loss of fidelity in High-Quality mode compared to Best mode, and only a Minutes going down yet one more grade to Quality mode. The full-page photo’s print time improved to approximately 6 minutes by stepping down one grade to High-Quality mode, and to about 3 Snapshot photos printed in the mode to glossy paper took over 2 minutes, and full-page photos printed on the Mac an When using photo paper we normally test in the highest-quality mode, but this slowed the pace of the The problem with glossy prints varies by settings. (4-inch by 6-inch) photos print at almost 4 ppm to plain paper.

Monochrome pages output on the PC at 6.7 pages per minute (ppm) and 6.5 ppm on the Mac. Normal documents and copies exit quickly enough for home use, but scans are pokey,Īnd the unit is very slow with glossy photos. Performance-wise, the Workforce WF-2540 also proved a disappointment. $13/450-page color cartridges reduce that to 6 cents per black page and 17.3 per four-color page–still well above average. A 23.75 cent four-color page is not a bargain. The standard $17/175-page black is a whopping 7.4 cents per page (cpp)Īnd the $9/165-page cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges are 5.45 cpp apiece. That’s a roundabout way of saying that per-page ink costs are very high. While the WF-2540 gets you into an inkjet multifunction for a relatively small initial investment, ongoing costs will hit you hard if you print in any sort Talk to it nicer than I did, and you might do better Re-seating (several times) cured this, but the unit can be finicky about the replacement operation. Perhaps it was my ham-handedness, but several times I received “invalid” cartridge messages. I also had some issues replacing the ink cartridges. Unfortunately you’ll get no such assistance if you’re using a Mac. For the WorkForce WF-2540, onscreen prompts help–for PC users. You’ll get used to it, but it could be done better. Other little oddities to make the experience less than top-shelf. You’re forced to hit the OK button at times when the menu/home button would normally function, and there are just enough The 2.5-inch LCD display, buttons, and keypad are fine there’s just something a I didn’t find using the WF-2540 quite as intuitive as many printers.

Abbyy FineReader Sprint 9.5 is on hand to take care of OCRĬhores and there’s also the full gamut of Web and local wireless printing options. That would be everything except automatic two-sided scanning, which the WF-2540 does not support. The Epson Scan program is intuitive and mature, and it will handle any scanning task you throw at it.

The WF-2540’s software bundle is basic, but capable. Relatively compact, but not as small as it would be with a bottom-mounted tray. With both the guide and control panel in operating position, the depth is more like 17 inches.
When you extend the guide for the 100-sheet rear vertical feed (there is no flat input tray), Numbers (shown in a photo on Epson’s Web site), are a tad misleading. WF-2540’s smallish non-operational footprint: 15.4 inches wide, by 14.8 inches deep, by 8.7-inch high also aids in the versatile placement. With USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi all on board, you’re free to attach it to a PC or network in any location you wish. Scan speed is nothing to write home about, either. Ink costs are high, and glossy photos print at some of the slowest times we’ve ever seen. Those are attractive features on any color inkjet multifunction, but there’s bad news: The $130 (as of ) Epson Workforce WF-2540 All-in-One Printer (copy/fax/print/scan) has a 30-page automatic document feeder, it outputs nice textĪnd graphics, and it has triple-threat USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
