Manual of product WorkForce 320
Editorial note
The Epson WorkForce 320 is an all-in-one printer that stands out for its versatility, offering copying, scanning, printing, and faxing features. Its print quality is remarkable thanks to a maximum resolution of 5760 x 1440 DPI, making it an ideal choice for users looking to produce documents and images with exceptional clarity. Additionally, its low power consumption of 10 W in operation and 0.2 W in standby contributes to appreciable energy efficiency, thus reducing operating costs. However, the printer has some notable drawbacks. The color printing speed, limited to 2.2 pages per minute, may not meet the needs of users who require fast prints. Furthermore, the lack of duplex printing and copying features limits its efficiency, resulting in higher paper consumption. The restricted compatibility with certain operating systems, particularly the lack of support for Mac systems, may also pose a problem for some users. Finally, although the design is functional, the weight of 7121 g can make moving and installing the device more difficult, especially in tight spaces. In summary, the Epson WorkForce 320 offers good value for its price, but its limitations in terms of features and compatibility may deter some buyers.Score details
