I had a strange thing happen with my printer that I still don't fully understand. I'm using the WF-3640 completely wirelessly. Even my desktop prints via the wireless router. I had to replace my router. I bought a combination Wi-Fi router and cable modem. Right after I installed the new router/modem, I printed a 92 page booklet from my desktop. Again, printing via the new router. No problem whatsoever. BTW, the duplex printing is pretty doggone amazing!
The next morning, however, I could get nothing to print. I checked the router, the printer showed up as a connected device but no test page, nothing. I wound up having to completely uninstall the printer & all Epson software, then reinstall all of it. Now it works fine. Strange.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
If only the rest of my life were this easy. I went a little overboard on this because I don’t fax a lot, nor do I do an inordinate amount of scanning or copying. Just fits & starts of scanning photos for family albums, a couple of copies three or four times a week. But at this price & the packed feature list, how could I say no?
This is my first Epson printer since, oh, about 1997 when I bought my first-ever inkjet. (Lord, has it been that long ago?!?) I really loved that printer and it lasted me quite a few years but, eventually, cartridges became harder and harder to find. Since then, I guess I slipped into some kind of printer coma and punished myself with another, more bloated brand that shall remain nameless. I'll just say that every subsequent model by that manufacturer became more and more of a Hideous Product.
Anyway, my last AIO bit the dust about a year ago. I postponed replacing it because there just didn’t seem to be any decent models in my price range. The scanning & copying I needed to do I could accomplish using my phone. This week, however, that all changed.
I suddenly had quite a bit of scanning that I really needed to get done. I just couldn’t make it work with my phone so I started shopping for a new AIO. I was trying to get the most bang for my buck while doing my best to stay below $150 with shipping. Another critical criterion was the device’s ability to use re-manufactured cartridges, something my old printers refused to accept. An expensive proposition, at best.
No matter how positive the review, I purposely avoided my old brand. I did look at similar models from Brother, Lexmark & Canon but the reviews here on Amazon & elsewhere gradually eliminated all of them from the running—Sorry, Billy Blanks, I really liked those ads!
I was leaning first toward the WF-3520 before I stumbled across a glowing review of the 3540 which, at the time, was linked to another online retailer with the lowest price of $129. I followed the link only to find that the 3540 was no longer available and had been replaced by a link to the 3640. Fully expecting a case of bait-and-switch sticker shock, I followed the link to find the new latest model had the same price! After comparing the price with Amazon, I placed my order. After all was said and done, the WF-3640 came in at $155 & change with tax, next day shipping & a 2-year extended warranty. Add another $17 for a set of remanufactured cartridges, each with 1100 page capacity.
I have finished the initial setup of the printer. I have to say I honestly can’t remember ever having any initial device setup be such a breeze. Setting up our two laptops for wireless connection to the printer was simplicity itself, too, I’m happy to report. With one laptop I simply used the software disc that came with the printer. The other has a dead optical drive so I just downloaded the software from Epson’s support site.
Setting up Epson Connect for email printing was a snap, too. Just had to change the default email address for the printer to something easier to remember. Getting the phones ready for cloud printing was just a matter of downloading & installing the free app.
I haven’t done a lot of printing just yet but what I have printed has yielded crisp, sharp text that just blows away my old AIO, not to even mention my current inkjet. Is it better than a color laser? I can’t make that distinction right now. I’ll have to do some comparisons with docs here and at the office where there is a 10-month-old $900+ AIO model.
Scanning performance is breathtaking, for me, anyway. I was astounded at how quickly the WF-3640 scanned the forms I needed to add to one of my web sites. It took literally less than 5 seconds from the time I clicked "Scan" for each form to appear in the directory.
While there are far more features than probably I will ever need or use, for the price of this machine you simply can't go wrong. Could my needs have been adequately met with the WF-3620? Probably. But for the higher capacity paper trays, the price difference is negligible.
You can read about the various features and most common strengths in a bunch of other reviews, but I'll try to point out a few things that I didn't see mentioned. I have little doubt that the wireless functionality works (that's the most common method), but I wanted to use the wired (ethernet) connection. While the printer refused to properly query/set its IP using DHCP, unlike most other printers of its price point, it allows you to set the IP manually directly from the printer. After that, you can use a browser from any PC/tablet/phone on the local network to finish the configuration with the printer's built-in web configuration utility. I was able to set up names, ports, various addresses and network settings all in one place, without even installing the drivers on my PC. For most people, that might not have much value, but for someone who does a lot of work on Linux workstations, it's a big plus to not need a windows PC to troubleshoot a printer.
Along those lines, the printer is also one of the more feature-packed network printers I've seen at this price. I would hope that new printers would work well with service discovery protocols, but I didn't expect the printer to support SLP, Bonjour, WSD, and LLTD, and allow you to configure each of them. It supports normal driver-native printing, as well as more UNIX/Linux friendly IPP, RAW and even LPR printing from the printer. It supports NTP (synchronizing the printer's clock to an internet or local server). And it can be configured to join a Windows workgroup so that it can be easily found/installed on windows computers. As a nice bonus, the printer shows up in its configured workgroup as a fileserver, allowing you to browse and copy (but not write/erase) files on any media cards or USB drives attached to the printer.
As a bonus, the scanner can not only email documents, but can also upload them to Google Cloud services, or load them directly onto a Windows PC (assuming you have the MS networking settings configured properly). I only really needed it to scan to a USB drive. Scanning directly to a printer was a nice bonus.
I scored this as 5 stars to conform to the web standard where a full score means "I didn't have any problems". There certainly is some room for improvement here, but it does more that I asked it to and cost less than I'd expect. The scanner/maintenance hinges are a little more loose than I'd suggest if you have a lot of people using them constantly. The LCD screen can feel a little awkward to use sometimes, and while the print quality is excellent for an inkjet, the blacks just don't have the contrast you'd get with a laser printer. And while I love the advanced configuration, I'll be the first to admit that it isn't for novices, and its not a terribly polished experience.
The end results, however, are quite satisfying for the price.

I only have two slight complaints. First, the setup program was only in English. An option for French would have been nice. Second, adjusting the paper sizes in the trays can be a little tricky, as the location of the size adjusters make you put your hands further inside the tray than most printers.
In summary: This is an excellent printer, by far the best I have ever owned!
What you will get if you purchase this printer: hours spent trying to fix an array of problems, poor support, lots of frustration.
I wish more people would come back to change their review after the initial purchase of this product because I believe the star rating of this product would be completely different and would save a lot of people from purchasing it. I truly hope this review will save someone else from going through the same frustration that I did.
Setup would be easy for my grandson but very time consuming for me especially since this one is wireless and my last one wasn't ; I like the good old days of receiving a written set up manual instead of getting instructions off the computer but Epson tech people very fast to reply to my email questions although they probably have had a few chuckles from them.
