Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD Review

The Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD is an intriguing MFD (Multi Function Device) with a good collection of functions in addition to several cool touches which would suggest the Epson development engineers seem to have been hard at work.

In the first place your attention will be attracted to the control panel which hinges up-wards and locks into position. The 2.5-inch / 6.3cm Liquid crystal display screen is a respectable size however regardless of that it's swamped by buttons for the controls as well as the fax dialler. Epson could have dispensed with many of these buttons if perhaps it had used touchscreen controls nevertheless the screen is simply a display and as a result you'll find buttons galore.

Another reason the control panel may well grab your undivided attention is that the styling of the BX625FWD is quite understated. Initially, as an example, the top surface of the machine appears to be simply a smooth surface that's a great place to place a number of papers. Flick over the centre part of the cover and the document feeder with regard to the fax and copier seems, as though by magic. It's a very similar story on the backside of the Epson as the network as well as USB connections plug directly into recessed ports in the side of the machine along with the phone and also fax ports on the raise.

There's a couple of card reader slots in the front side of the unit which handle xD, CF, MS, SD as well as MMC memory cards together with in addition to the Fast Ethernet connection you will find 802.11b/g/n wireless.

The dimensions of the BX625FWD are really conventional at 446 x 360 x 221mm, even so the effective footprint is smaller compared to what you may expect as the mains power cord has a right angled socket at the unit end which enables you to shove the Epson right back against a wall.

Even though the design and styling of the Epson are nice, there's hints that spending have been kept to a minimum amount of. The rubber control buttons, in particular, really feel cheap and nasty plus the paper output tray is definitely a curious object which is permanently fixed to the printer. Any time you take out the 250-sheet paper cassette so that you can reload the paper the output tray is actually left protruding in an ominous manner. Throughout our testing we failed to manage to cause any sort of injuries whilst extracting and fitting the paper cassette however it constantly felt like a likelihood.

Getting the Epson ready to go was a straightforward matter of lifting the scanner bed, flipping on the electricity and then snapping the four cartridges in the carriage.

A set of regular Epson Stylus Office BX625FWD printer cartridges continue for for 470 pages however a set of long life cartridges last for 755 pages and therefore are a much better purchase.

On the plus side, the BX625FWD prints pages at an outstanding speed and just took 53.3 seconds to produce ten pages of text. Copying a page of A4 text required only 8.3 seconds. Print quality in the two cases was basically definitely outstanding.
Epson incorporates a respectable packet of software for the basics and this consists of Easy Photo Print, EpsonNet Print and Presto! PageManager 9.

Printing photos required longer than we predicted with a 6 x 4-inch borderless photo taking just more than one minute and a borderless A4 photo taking three minutes. Luckily the results were really worth the wait since the quality was very good indeed plus we were pleased by the versatility of the Epson as it offers good all-round performance.
