Its versatile connectivity options including wireless and Ethernet enable flexible network integration and mobile printing compatibility.

Automatic duplex printing saves paper and reduces operational costs while supporting eco-friendly practices.

Limitations

This model is a monochrome laser printer and does not support color printing, limiting its use for color documents.

The device's memory capacity is moderate and might struggle with extremely complex print jobs or large graphic files.

It lacks direct USB host printing from thumb drives, potentially limiting standalone print options.

The scanner resolution for the ADF is limited compared to some high-end flatbed scanners, which might affect high-quality image digitization.

Although wireless, it does not support the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards, which could impact network efficiency in dense environments.

Its physical size and weight make it less suitable for small desk spaces.
