While the box itself is quite large, the printer is a more modest size, measuring 18.1 x 16.5 x 13.4 inches, which increases the depth from 16.5 to 25.7 inches with the output tray open and extended. This is one reason why an office MFP works great for a “connected” home. In addition to USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, the WP-4530 also offers remote printing via Epson Connect, AirPrint, and Google Cloud Print. One downside is that there is no memory card reader.Īs with many MFPs tailored to a small office or workgroup, the WP-4530 has excellent connectivity. On the front panel are a variety of controls and a 2.5-inch LCD. The ADF has a capacity of 30 pages, so you can fax, scan, or copy long documents and forget about it. Epson does not provide a capacity for the output tray, at least none that we could find, but there’s no way it can come near the combined 330-sheet input capacity, so you’ll have to keep your eye peeled during long print runs.Īutomatic duplexing is provided in both paper feeds as well as the scanner. The rear feed is also used whenever you are using anything other than standard/bright-white paper in the MFP – changing the paper type in the driver automatically defaults to the rear input tray. The input tray is large, holding 250 sheets – a half-ream – while the rear feed can accommodate another 80 sheets. That’s considerably less than just about any laser printer, and less expensive than most inkjet printers as well. That results in a per-page-cost of just over two cents a page in color, and just about a penny-and-a-half for monochrome. The per-page-cost is considerably less than just about any laser printer and most inkjet printers as well. The XL cartridges cost $25 for color and $39 for black, and provide estimated yields of about 1,200 color pages and 2,400 monochrome pages. The first of these is that the WP-4530 uses very large ink cartridges, which are loaded by dropping down the front panel. That’s due to two aspects of the MFP’s design. Many companies and institutions simply refuse any document that’s in an electronic format.Īt 13.4 inches, the WP-4530 is a bit taller than many of the inkjet MFPs we’ve tested. While faxing has passed its heyday, it’s remarkable how often it’s still being used. The WP-4530 is a four-function (print, scan, copy, and fax) color inkjet-based MFP. While Epson categorizes the WorkForce Pro WP-4530 ($300) color multifunction printer (MFP) in the business category, it has features that make it a very good choice for many home users, such as great ink yields, an automatic document feeder (ADF), and duplex printing – as long as you can make room for a device that’s larger than most printers designed for home use. Larger and heavier than many consumer/home MFPs
