Handling

HPs Officejet has a big touchscreen, which is easy to handle. All information on ink levels, copy-, scan-, fax-, or network-settings can be accessed and used intuitively. Some of the virtual keys are a little on the small side – big hands have to take accurate aim.

Samsungs AIO merely has a double spaced status display. Handling is easy.
