HP Officejet J6480 - a feature-rich printer that performs very-well

105 18
The newest All-in-Ones in HP's collection is the Officejet J6480. It comes with a host of features like auto-duplexing, photo finishing, one-touch faxing, a scanner with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, auto-document feeder (ADF) and built in wireless 802.11g networking all of which allure to the small and midsize companies.

Features
The HP Officejet J6480 is designed to be a large printer with dimension 18.7" wide and 18.6" deep, but has a very low height with just 10". The printer weighs pretty heavy with 16.87 pounds. The printer's design does not allow it to be moved often within the office. Nevertheless, the printer increases the aesthetic looks with its design - a combination of matte-white-and-gray panels and glossy black should blend in well with the indoors.

The first glimpse of the front panel makes it look too cluttered with buttons, but the buttons are organized for navigational ease. The front panel holds a wide range of shortcuts for the various functions of the printer, which includes the scanner, the printer, the copier and the fax machine. The printer also has a small, two-line LCD screen to quickly access system preferences and tools. The external card reader and the wireless ON/OFF button also, reside on the front panel. However, the Officejet J6480 is short of a PictBridge port, which means the printer does not allow you to print images without a PC.

The input tray can hold up to 250-sheets and has an adjustable arm that fits any paper size. The other important features are the Auto Document Feeder that can be used to scan and/or copy 35 sheets at one go and the auto-duplexer that allows double-sided printing, which is accessible through the driver settings.

To round up the features HP provides the printer with a built-in wireless 802.11g networking option. The installation process is pretty easy and a hassle free experience - easy to follow and troubleshoot.

Along with the drivers, the HP J6480 also provides the user with the HP's Photosmart Essential and Solution Center software. The J6480 has a two-cartridge tank that uses the HP 350 ink cartridges - one single black cartridge and another tricolor cartridge for color prints.

The OCR feature of the scanner allows the user to convert graphical text into editable text.

Performance
The HP Officejet J6480's performance is excellent, when compared to its competitors, with the exception of printing Photos in which it clocked the slowest. The output quality is excellent, with the text, graphics, and full-color photos looking very pleasing with detailed, sharp lines.

Service
The J6480 comes with a standard one-year warranty.
