Excellent

8.0

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Justin Yu
Review date: 5/8/08
Release date: 4/16/09

The good: Loads of useful built-in hardware including autoduplexer, auto-document feeder, Optical Character Recognition scanner; painless 802.11g wireless setup; excellent quality text, graphic, and photo prints.

The bad: No PictBridge support; only three autodial fax buttons; slower than average photo prints.

The bottom line: The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a $200 printer. Shoppers looking for an all-inclusive multifunctional unit will be impressed with the robust hardware and rich print quality.
