USB 2.0 is the only data connection provided. The separate CD/DVD holder slots into this output tray, once you’ve removed the tray from its default position and slotted it into a secondary position, so it projects horizontally from the front of the machine.Īt the back are sockets for a mains cable – the power supply is internal – and a USB socket. The design of the paper path is conventional, with a fold-up paper support at the rear and a pull-out, telescopic output tray at the front. The icons on two of the buttons are not overprinted in white, so are difficult to read. Styled in a simple, functional way, more Dell than Apple, the Stylus Photo R285 is coloured black and silver, with a set of three control buttons and indicators at the extreme left of its front panel. It has a fast, black text print, though not as fast as Epson would have you believe. It’s a six-colour printer, intended primarily to print photos. Epson has refreshed its range recently and the Stylus Photo R285 is the replacement for the R265. Straight photo printers, rather than All-in-One machines with scanners and memory card slots still have their market, though a reducing one.
