Most features of the Epson R245 are dedicated for photo printing, but anyone can also use it to print text documents when the need arises. Its print speed is fairly fast for a discontinued model.

Despite being labeled as a photo printer with a maximum print resolution of 5760 x 1440 DPI, the machine only uses no more than four colors of ink, not six or eight or even nine. The photo print quality, however, doesn’t disappoint.

Features and Highlights

Print From a Camera and Memory Card

Various buttons populate the Epson R245’s front panel. A 1.5-inch LCD display sits in the center of it. If you connect a camera to the printer, you will see the images on the screen. You can also select one or more images to print. However, only digital cameras that support PictBridge can connect to the printer.

The USB port to connect a camera to the printer is conveniently located on the front, but the memory card slot is accessible only after the printer cover opens.

Common types of memory cards are supported. Users who aren’t sure if the printer supports their memory cards can refer to the manual.

A Four-Color Printer

Ink cartridges are very expensive, so anyone who prints a lot should go for an ink tank printer. But for occasional use, a cartridge-based printer like the Epson R245 might be a better choice because of its lower initial cost.

Hidden inside the printer’s body is four ink cartridges, each of which contains one color of ink, so the chance of you throwing away an entire cartridge despite there is still some ink left is nonexistent. If your print jobs require a certain color more often than expected, these individual ink cartridges might help you save a not inconsequential amount of money.

Due to how expensive an ink cartridge is, any opportunity to save on ink is a welcome.

Two Paper Trays

The Epson R250 has two opposing paper trays. The most important tray is the one that sits on the top. It takes a stack of paper to feed into the printer through an L-shaped path, one at a time.

The front tray folds out to catch the pages that exit from the printer, but its capacity is so limited that you may need to babysit some of your print jobs to ensure that none of the prints goes sailing to the ground.

The unit’s lack of a straight through path might be one of the reasons that make some potential customers discouraged from buying it.

Epson R245 Driver Free Download

Most of the time it might be more convenient to print from a computer monitor than the small 1.5-inch screen on the printer, but doing so requires the printer’s driver to be integrated into the computer’s system.

The driver installation process is easy and doesn’t require a lot of disk space. Once completed, you may delete the setup file if you want to. You can click the link below to download Epson R245 Driver for Windows:
