It is also considerably faster than the WF-4720's 20ppm, as well as the Canon MB2720's 20.6ppm, the MB5420's 20ppm, and the HP 7740's 23.6ppm.Īs most printers do, when we combined the score from printing the above text document with the results from printing our more complex PDFs, Excel, and PowerPoint files containing color, graphics, and photos, the WF-4720's score plunged to 15.1ppm. When printing our 12-page black-text Microsoft Word text document, it churned at the rate of 27.3ppm (and a first-page-out time of 9 seconds), notably faster than Epson's rating. Epson rates the WF-4740 at 24 pages per minute (ppm) for monochrome pages and 22ppm for color pages. A relatively new printhead technology, PrecisionCore-depending on the number of chips on the printhead-is faster than traditional inkjet printheads. The WF-4740 is powered by Epson's PrecisionCore 4S printhead, where 4S means that the printhead deploys four PrecisionCore ink nozzle chips.

Other mobile connectivity features include: Android printing, Apple AirPrint, Epson Email Print, Creative Print App, Epson iPrint, Epson Remote Print, Fire OS printing, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, and Scan to Cloud. The smaller WorkForce AIO, the WF-4720, supports both. Neither the Canon MB2720 nor the MB5420 support either Wi-Fi Direct or NFC, and the HP 7740 supports only Wi-Fi Direct. Those last two are peer-to-peer connections that allow you to access the printer without either it or your mobile device being part of a network.

Aside from the Power button, that screen comprises the entire control panel.Ĭonnectivity features consist of Wi-Fi, Ethernet, connecting to a single PC via USB, Wi-Fi Direct, and NFC (near-field communication).

You configure the WF-4740, print from or scan to the cloud or a USB thumb drive (the port is located on the left-front side of the chassis, beneath a protective cover), and perform other walkup tasks, such as making copies and sending faxes, from a 4.3-inch color touch screen. In addition, the WF-4740's maximum monthly duty cycle is 30,000 pages (with a recommended monthly volume of 1,500 pages), which is on par with most of its competition. The WF-4720's paper capacity is 500 sheets, split between two cassettes, the same as the other machines mentioned here, except the WF-4720, which comes with just one 250-sheet drawer. It's also close in size and weight to the Canon MB2720 and its more expensive sibling, the MB5420, but much smaller and lighter than the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740, a comparably priced and rated AIO that prints, scans, and faxes tabloid-size (11 by 17 inches) pages. It should still fit comfortably on most large desktops. At 13 by 16.7 by 19.8 inches (HWD) and 26 pounds, the WF-4740 is significantly taller and longer from front to back than the WF-4720 and weighs about 6 pounds more than the WF-4720.
