First of all the points, which lead me to the overall positive assessment:
-> The device is solid and visually appealing
-> High quality photo prints
-> Durcken (at low and normal quality) very quickly
-> Can media (CD / DVD / BlueRay) print
-> Moderate ink prices
-> Scanner is fast and gives good results
Now for the little weaknesses:
-> Printing is relatively loud, even louder than some old laser printer (the IP3000 was felt 10 times quieter), scanning, however, is pretty quiet
-> Ink is only acceptable, but not extremely economical
-> Disk with poor coating are indeed extremely poorly printed (located on the media, but is a great pity, because it is here no better than the old IP3000 and I had hoped for more; Good inkjet printable CDs and DVDs Verbatim, Sony, ... but be wonderful printed, though not a true photo quality is possible)
-> Warm up after power is when printing extremely long (usually about 1 minute)
-> Wait before printing data carriers is also relatively long, also you have the pressure of media every now and then the flap close front and reopen it the Durcker is satisfied (only if you let some time pass between print jobs).
-> Driver recognition under Windows 7 64 bit: drivers are only displayed after switching on as not recognized, printer works but then shortly afterwards without any problems (scanner module is well recognized now correctly)
-> Duplex printing (= Zweiseitendurck: the blade is automatically reloaded and printed on the back) does not work: at 6 sheets (12 pages) with duplex printing and normal 80g paper A4 (absolutely flawlessly without kinks or waves) had I 4 times (in words: four times !!!) jam. This has much better able the IP3000.
-> The included OCR software is quite bad. She does not recognize fonts that makes no grammar and spell check to correct not accurately recognized words and is difficult to handle. By contrast, the OCR software in my old HP scanner is a dream.
-> The glossy surface of the case was with me already by swiping with your bare hand visibly scratched (in sunlight). Although this is at such surfaces as normal, but you would just sometimes can use a matte appearance.
Conclusion:
Despite the many small weaknesses is I was only one star deduction, because the device is recommended for a total of a multifunction device very.
It can do everything that you need (scanning, printing, print media, [OCR: unfortunately lacking]), is affordable to buy and maintain, prints and scans quickly, and is user-friendly (very good instructions for commissioning and service, good display on the unit with understandable instructions for use).
