It’s not eligible for the company’s Instant Ink service, as there’s no network or wireless connection to link to the Internet. This printer uses HP’s ubiquitous 301 cartridges, one black and the other tri-colour, available in bothvstandard and XL capacities. These slide in and clip up into their holders in a slightly awkward way, but you soon get the knack. The front panel of the printer folds down to make the output tray and a secondary cover inside reveals the twin cartridge holders. Six membrane buttons down either side control all the key functions. The control panel has a mono LCD display – unusual in a machine at this price – which is put to good use for menus and status display. It has no wireless connection, either, and the only link is a USB socket at the back.
There are no memory cards or USB slots as this machine is intended more for the micro-office use than for photo enthusiasts. HP Officejet 2620 – Connections and Cartridges There’s no special provision for photo paper, though it can be fed through the main tray if needed. The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) can take up to 35 sheets, which is more than half the meagre paper capacity of 60 sheets. This has the advantage of making it easier to feed thick papers and card. Unusually for HP, paper feeds from a near-vertical tray at the back of the printer, rather than making a 180-degree turn from a front tray.
The white case with black highlights is cleanly styled with enough curves to disguise its utilitarian purpose.

A four-function all-in-one with print, scan, copy and fax will often set you back £100 or more, but this entry-level machine from HP covers all four bases for just over £50.
