People often look for multifunction printers because it makes more sense to have everything in place. Printing, scanning and copying are all essential task for both home and small office use, and juggling separate devices takes up not only space but also time. 

With a single unit, it is easier to handle daily tasks without hopping between machines or messing with a bunch of cable and plugs. For anyone after an all-in-one (AIO) option that’s compact and easy to use, the HP DeskJet 2630 is a solid pick.

Features and Highlights

Standard Flatbed Scanner

When it comes to efficiency at scanning pages, a sheet feeder is better than a flatbed scanner, but some things simply can’t go through the feeder like photos and cards. 

Scanning with a flatbed scanner means every page needs to be handled manually, one at a time. It is a time-consuming process if there are many pages to scan, but the flatbed can handle way more types of paper than the sheet feeder. 

3-in-1 Cartridge

There are some models that run on two ink cartridges, and the HP DeskJet 2630 is one of them. The cartridges are made up of one black cartridge and another one that contains a mix of three colors. Such cartridge is globally known as tri-color cartridge.

The name makes it obvious that it is a cartridge housing three inks, but what is less obvious especially to first-time printer users is the major disadvantage of the cartridge. It is designed to stop working once any of the ink reaches its empty level. It doesn’t take the state of the other inks into account at all. 

Casual Printing

With an ISO print speed only up to 5.5 ppm, coupled with the fact that the HP DeskJet 2630 uses a tri-color ink cartridge and has a recommended monthly page volume of only up to 100 pages, it is best used as a casual printer, copier, and scanner. More than that, the print cost per page would be too high, not to mention the risk of the whole tri-color cartridge suddenly stop giving more ink simply because one of its inks runs out.

Print Wirelessly

With its support for wireless printing, you can send print jobs from almost anywhere as long as it is within the range of the network. If someone sends you a file to your phone, instead of copying or moving it to your desktop computer that connects to the printer by a USB cable, you can just give an instruction right from your phone to the HP DeskJet 2630 to print the file.
