    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: Easy setup

    Weaknesses:- Scanning implementation is far inferior to several year old HP printer- No duplex support

    Overall Evaluation: I purchased this product after my HP 5610 stopped working. I make heavy use of the ADF scanning and noticed the Epson Workforce 500 was billed as supported duplex printing. Both of these selling points failed to perform as expected and I returned the unit. There is no duplex printing support on this device. Despite marketing speech to the contrary the only double sided printing support is that a window pops up on your screen requesting you to turn the sheet of paper around to print on the opposite side. The scanner's document feeder did not perform at all. The construction made it relatively difficult to add standard 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper into the feeder without getting caught on a number of ledges and horizontal barriers meant to keep the paper in alignment. Once the sheet to be scanned was properly inserted the scanner was almost never able to scan a sheet of paper without "slipping" - when this occurred the drive motors continued to move and the scanner portion believe the sheet was sliding past it but in reality the paper was stuck midway thru the scanner.

    Strengths: It has the square, sturdy design I like for a busy office space. I am pleased with the clarity of the screen display for photo viewing and the top feed.

    Weaknesses:none yet!

    Overall Evaluation: It seems that this is well designed for daily continuous use by a single user in a cubicle style office. It saves time, keeping us employees in our work environment to complete projects right away.
