Out of the box, the 7410 comes with a pigment-black cartridge designed for high-quality text and a tricolor cartridge. While most of the 7410's rivals have letter-size scanning beds, this unit lets you lay down books and documents up to legal size. The duplexer lets you save paper by automatically printing on both sides. The 7210's optional 250-sheet paper tray comes standard with the 7410, giving it a maximum capacity of 400 sheets of plain paper. In addition to using the monitor to preview your images, you can print an index proof sheet, fill in a special mark under each image you want to print, and then scan that sheet to initiate the print job. A numeric keypad lets you dial fax numbers, and there are five programmable speed-dial buttons. It sits at the center of the control panel, surrounded by sets of buttons sensibly arranged by task (fax, copy, photo, scan, and print). The 2.5-inch color LCD is a major improvement over the 7210's two-line alphanumeric LCD.

The 7410 doesn't let you read images from a USB flash drive attached to the direct-print port, but you can plug in a Bluetooth adapter that lets you print from suitably equipped phones and PDAs. To print photos without a computer, you can either attach a PictBridge-compatible digital camera to the 7410's direct-print port or slide your camera's memory card into one of four slots, which between them are capable of reading all the major formats. The 7410 can fax in color, and it can hold 150 A4 pages in memory for incoming faxes, in case the paper runs out while you're not there.


While you can hook the 7410 up to a single PC via its USB port or plug it into the office ethernet, the unit's built-in Wi-Fi will makes it appeal most to a workgroup of notebook users who aren't tied to their desks.īesides providing printing and scanning functions, the 7410 offers stand-alone faxing and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that makes multipage copying easier. Priced at the higher end of the scale, the unit offers the following in return for the added investment: wireless networking, a 2.5-inch color LCD, a duplexer, an additional paper tray, and a bigger scanning area. The HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One has all the features of HP's Officejet 7210 and then adds some, making it an excellent fit for a small office.
