* * * Price and purchase place * * *
The price was 399 Euro back then, which is close to 200GBP.


* * * Basic data * * *
Regular Model number: SDGOB-0304-02
Product name: Photo smart 2700 Series (Q3452A)
Model numbers available: 2710 (Q5552A/B, Q5545c), 2710x (Q5544A), 2713 Q5547C


* * * Software * * *
This All-in-one appliance is compatible with all the Software's. I use Windows' XP professional. Installing the software is just like any other software. Insert CD, install program and done.


* * * Patrons and their prices * * *
The consumption of the appliance is very much nothing. I print every day a lot of pages in black and colour. A cartridge lasts for more then two months. The black colour numbers are: 339 and 338. The numbers for colour cartridges are: 344 and 343. The numbers for the application of photo paper are: 348 and 100. The colour cartridges only cost 20 Euro = 10 GBP for a 21ml cartridge that holds for two months. The black cartridge costs 15 Euro = 8 GBP for a 35ml cartridge which also holds for two months, but I print more in black then in colour that is why it only holds two months.


* * * Printing * * *
The document that you want to have printed has to be open, then under Menu just select print and decide if you want it colour or black & white. Please make sure that you have paper inserted in the lower paper lead. Done....


* * * Fax * * *
To fax something you have to lay the document onto the glass surface of the printer. Then you have to enter the Fax number and easily press the START button. Done.... The confirmation will be printed out right after the fax has been sent.


* * * Scans * * *
For scans you have to just lay the document onto the glass surface and press the SCAN button. It will bring you the option of saving the document into Microsoft Word or as a .pdf form. Then just decide which option you choose and press the Black START or Colour START button to have it in black & white or colour. If you chose the word or .pdf form it will automatically save the document under Word or in Adobe. Done.....


* * * Copies * * *
For copies you do the same as for the scans, you just have to, instead of press Scan you have to press COPIES. The you insert the document; decide for black & white or colour and press the Black START or Colour START. Done.....


* * * My experience * * *
I must say for what ever reason I used the printer, scanner, copier or facsimile I have never had a problem. I think this printer is better then other ones because you can chose of four different options. Most printers only print; most only scan and print, some fax, scan and print, but only a few print, copy, scan and print. This is one of the very few that do all the four things. I believe that this is a very good investigation, because before I spend 200GBP on a scanner or printer only, I may chose to pay 200 GBP for a product that does everything. So far, I did not have to bring it into the repair shop. I have to exchange the cartridges almost ever two months, which is okay because I print every day, in colour and black & white.


I would recommend this All-in-one product for every body that is in need of a new product that is useful at any time. You never know if one day you may need a fax machine, a scanner, a printer and copier.......
