That’s all there is to the physical setup of the machine. The two new ink cartridges, with a more traditional arrangement of black and tri-colour inks, clip into the semi-permanent print head, once you’ve clipped that into the head carrier. The printer provides a wizard which handles all the searching and authentication. This is very easy to set up, particularly if your router supports single-button WPS setup. If you go for the ESP C310 rather than the ESP C110, it almost has to be because of its wireless connection. At the back is a single USB socket for cable connection. These are all clearly laid out and very easy to understand. The control panel comprises a small LCD display, set at an angle into the top panel, along with six control buttons and a navigation ring. Next to the card slot is a small, blue Wi-Fi indicator. A single memory card slot takes SD and MemoryStick cards and there’s no PictBridge/USB socket. The A4 flatbed scanner has no Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and its hinges don’t extend, making it awkward to scan from books. Paper feeds through to the hinged-down front cover, which has a two-stage telescopic support set into its front edge. The rear paper tray support comes folded down on top of the scanner lid and when raised can take up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 20 photo blanks, though not at the same time. The new printer has the same fairly austere, textured, black plastic lines as its cheaper sibling, broken only by Kodak-yellow highlights along the front edge of the scanner lid and around the Start button. It costs around £15 more than the earlier machine, so is it worth it for the wireless? However, it appears to be available only from the DSG group (Currys and PC World). Kodak’s new range of all-in-ones continues to grow, with the ESP C310 being pretty much a wireless version of the ESP C110 we looked at recently.
