Key Advantages

The integrated multifunction design consolidates printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in one compact device, saving office space.

Network capability via Ethernet enhances collaboration and reduces the need for multiple devices.

Fast print speeds increase office productivity while maintaining high print quality suitable for professional documents.

The 35-sheet automatic document feeder expedites handling of multi-page jobs, minimizing user intervention.

Robust build quality ensures reliability and longevity even in demanding office use.

Energy-saving features reduce power consumption during idle times, contributing to operating cost savings.

Limitations

The device only supports monochrome printing, limiting it to black and white output without color capability.

With only 64 MB of memory, performance may lag when handling very complex or graphic-intensive print jobs.

Lack of built-in Wi-Fi necessitates wired network connections, reducing placement flexibility.

The scanner resolution is modest compared to modern standards, affecting image quality for detailed scanning tasks.

No duplex scanning functionality means two-sided originals require manual flipping.

Consumable costs such as toner cartridges may be higher compared to newer models with improved efficiency.
