HP PSC 2510 Photosmart Review - If the HP multifunction printer has a wide range of options for processing photos and network connection capabilities quite complete, its poor print and scan rates greatly handicap it.
HP's PSC 2510 Photosmart all-in-one includes photo, fax, scan, and copy-quality printing capabilities in a seamless device with a user-friendly interface. Unfortunately, its versatility does not mask these shortcomings. If, on the one hand, it produces excellent photo quality and high reproduction speeds, on the other, the printing and scanning rates are catastrophic. In addition, some scanned texts were blurred and printed texts lacked precision. Nevertheless, not everything is so bad. The PSC 2510 includes 802 .11b wireless connectivity, an Ethernet plug, and ready-to-use stand-alone fax capabilities.
multifunction printers, which collect different hardware components in a single device, are never aesthetic models. The HP PSC 2510 does not deviate from the rule, even though its elegant silver reflections, its 6.3 cm retractable colour LCD screen and its superimposed power/output trays, typical of HP, give it a certain style. With dimensions of 48, 3x39, 1, 6 cm (W x D x H) and a weight of just 9 kg, the PSC 2510 fits roughly into the average.
The color LCD has two functions. It serves, on the one hand, to visualize the digital images contained on memory cards: CompactFlash types I/II, SmartMedia, Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, memory Stick and XD. In addition, it displays the menu options for each of the many functions of the PSC 2510. Just below the screen are buttons dedicated to the menus of scanning, photo printing, copying and faxing. They surround a navigation pad for browsing the menus. Under this command group are the four other keys that allow you to automatically launch the most used options for the photo: "Slide Show" shows the images in a preset order; "E-mail" sends the photo displayed on the screen by e-mail; "Rotate" Changes the orientation of an image; and "Proof Sheet" automatically prints a contact board.
Finally, a numeric keypad on the front panel allows the PSC 2510 to be used as a stand-alone fax machine. This distinction is important, since most current multifunction printers only offer computer-based fax capabilities, while others, such as the Epson RX500, are provided with a numeric keypad, but Require you to install your own fax software.
Wireless network and Ethernet The HP PSC 2510 Photosmart incorporates several professional features, available in addition to other models. For example, it supports Ethernet networks (HP provides Ethernet cable) and 802 .11b wireless. The PSC 2510 is also provided with a 33.6 Kbit/s Fax modem and feature-rich standalone fax software, which is rare. HP even includes a telephone cord for its built-in phone jack.
The PSC 2510 allows you to easily use the most basic printing functions without a computer, but photo editing or scanning will require the use of included software (Windows and MAC OS X compatible). HP Director is a general interface that displays icons for common tasks, such as scanning a document or image, sending a fax, transferring images, or purchasing supplies (ink and paper) from HP. Director also detects other devices in the installed brand and allows you to move from one to the other. HP photo and imaging software allows you to manage your photos, create special projects, such as photo album pages, maps or flyers, and perform basic retouching, such as cuts, red-eye removal, and setting colors and brightness.
However, one of the most interesting features is the ability to print a contact board, from a memory card and use it to print only some of the photos. The multi-function printer also saves data from a memory card on a PC or MAC, and prints one to one the images of a digital video.
