Epson Expression Home XP-5100 Installer & Software

Ordering and processing the Epson Expression Home XP-5100 were as usual and expected. The delivery took a little longer this time, but that was already communicated when the order was placed.

However, the printer was well received at the beginning of the planned period. In the original box, the neighbors now know.

Why bought this Epson Expression Home XP-5100?

The old man had obviously dried up and a replacement was needed. It shouldn’t cost much, but it should be able to do a lot. I decided on the EPSON XP-5100 because the predecessor also came from EPSON and I was satisfied to the bitter end.

The printer / scanner is on my computer desk under the worktop. So it is good to have a model with a FRONT paper feed. The paper lies neatly and flat in the cassette.

Epson Expression Home XP-5100 First impression:

Neatly packaged. First settings according to multilingual leaflet. You are immediately referred to the link to EPSON and can download the current version. (Manual, driver, software). The manual is on the CD in PDF format. I didn’t find the manual very helpful at first. I followed the instructions on the display.

The ink cartridges were soon installed, the SX-5100 connected to the PC via wifi – and later with the USB printer cable that was still available. Test print on plain paper OK.

Epson Expression Home XP-5100 First endurance test:

I needed new passport photos. The 15×10 photo papers caused a paper jam. SO WAS NOT. The A4 photo papers worked, but the result was not satisfactory. I continued to experiment with different settings and different types of paper. It got really expensive.

And then the ink level warning came on and nothing worked. Good thing I had already bought the new ink. Now the warning came that I had filled in “bad” ink instead of expensive original EPSON goods. BUT WENT. In the end, I had my passport photos in a reasonably usable quality. I had imagined it to be easier.

Epson Expression Home XP-5100 Scanning / photocopying works fine

First evaluation: OK, a good device for the price. But I liked my old SX-415 better. Everything used to be better anyway, and the girls were still decent.

The Epson Expression Home XP-5100 installation is self-explanatory and can be done by any layperson. The WiFi module is not installed. The printer is connected via USB to a PC that is not connected to the Internet. The compatible printer cartridges are easily recognized as such. After confirming this, the device will do its job.

The quality of the photos is blurred despite the special paper and advanced printer settings. However, I have other special papers and have not yet tested all of the settings.

Epson Expression Home XP-5100 Scanning works well and is easy to use too. I particularly like that I can also save it in pdf. Since I only print very little, I chose this model with cartridges. about 10-20 pages per month.

I can’t say anything about the productivity yet. This will be done later. I hope that this device will continue to work as long as its predecessor. (Epson Stylus D92) I worked for 10 years.

The installation on all my devices (PC, laptop, tablet and smartphone) was very easy, thanks to the enclosed CD and the instructions contained on it.

Since the device also has WiFi, I can now access the printer directly from all devices, which simplifies a lot. So far I have had a Canon printer where the setup was much more complicated.

The only drawback: the Epson Expression Home XP-5100 printer does not have duplex printing, so printing on both sides of the paper is a bit more laborious.

Therefore a small point deduction for the print quality. But with the price that is probably not to be expected. Conclusion: a great device for home use with just a few printouts.
