Limitations
This printer is monochrome only, which limits its use where color printing is required. Its 256 MB standard memory may constrain extremely large or complex print jobs without expansion. The machine is relatively large and heavy, thus less mobile and requiring a dedicated workspace. It lacks a built-in wireless connection, relying on wired Ethernet for network access which limits flexibility. The device may produce noticeable noise during high-speed printing. The initial investment and toner costs are higher compared to entry-level laser printers.
