Key Advantages

The HP Deskjet 2540 features a simple setup process, making it user-friendly for non-technical users. Its compact size fits easily into small office spaces or home environments. The integrated scanner and copier reduce the need for multiple devices, saving space and cost. It supports wireless printing via Wi-Fi Direct, providing flexible printing options from phones and tablets. Energy-efficient design complies with ENERGY STAR standards, contributing to lower power consumption. The affordable price point makes it accessible for users seeking basic multifunction capabilities without high expenses.

Limitations

The Deskjet 2540’s print speed is relatively slow compared to higher-end models, making it less suitable for heavy-volume printing tasks. It does not support automatic duplex (double-sided) printing, requiring manual page flipping for double-sided documents. The paper input tray capacity is limited, holding up to 60 sheets, which may require frequent refilling for busy users. The printer lacks advanced features like an automatic document feeder (ADF), restricting efficiency for multi-page scanning or copying. Ink cartridge yields are moderate, and ink costs may cumulate rapidly with regular usage. Some users report occasional connectivity issues with wireless networks in complex environments.
