Most all-in-one printers come with a flatbed scanner, but only some are supplemented by an ADF, short for automatic document feeder. This ADF is also one of the built-in features on the Epson L550.

The Epson L550 is a 4-in-1 inkjet printer. This means it has a fax function, which further emphasizes its role as an office printer. It even supports Ethernet and Epson Connect for mobile and cloud printing.

Features and Highlights

The Epson L550 looks elegant with a black body. Sitting nicely on the top is its ADF, the component of the printer that helps users scanning and copying multipage documents. Even with the addition of the ADF, the printer still looks compact, measuring 377 mm deep, 474 mm wide, and 226 mm tall in diameter, with a weight of 6,2 kg.

An ADF comes pretty handy for offices that often scan many pages. No one wants to waste time scanning pages manually. It is such a nonproductive method that should be avoided whenever possible. A flatbed is nonetheless available should you need to scan pages that are too fragile for the ADF to handle.

For offices that often make copies of pages for meetings, it is worth to mention that the copier function of the Epson L550 is capable of creating up to ninety nine copies from a single page.

Aside from the ADF, the ink compartment is another component that easily grabs attention because of the way it is attached to the printer. Unlike some ink tank printers that place the ink compartment inside their bodies, the Epson L550 keeps it outside. The ink refilling is also less straightforward because users must unhook the compartment first to lay it down horizontally. Only by doing so users can refill the four ink tanks in the compartment.

The main selling point of an ink tank printer like the Epson L550 is its lower running cost. The price of an ink bottle is more affordable than that of an ink cartridge, and it is especially an ideal choice for moderate to high volume printing needs. In addition to three 70ml color ink bottles, the Epson L550 also ships with three black ink bottles.

The Epson L550 uses dye ink to print and copy pages. Its engine is supported by a technology that can calculate how much volume per ink droplet that should be ejected from the printer onto the paper to deliver high quality printouts.

The input tray, which is located on the rear of the printer, can feed paper as many as users need but only up to one hundred sheets can be loaded at a time. In about one minute, up to thirty three printed pages can come out of the printer.

The front control panel of the printer features a 2-line monochrome display. It is obviously not as convenient as a color touchscreen, but at least it is useful to perform some tasks. You can click the link below to download Epson L550 Driver for Windows:
