Key Advantages
High printing speed up to 40 pages per minute increases office productivity significantly. The expandable memory allows handling complex graphics and large files without performance degradation. Duplex printing is available to reduce paper consumption and promote environmental sustainability. Multiple input trays offer flexibility in managing different paper types and sizes simultaneously. Robust networking options support seamless integration in diverse office network settings. The durable design and high monthly duty cycle make it suitable for heavy office workloads.
Limitations
As a monochrome printer, it does not support color printing which might limit its use for color document requirements. The printer is relatively bulky and heavier compared to modern compact models, requiring adequate office space. The absence of wireless connectivity limits flexibility in device placement without network cables. Initial startup warm-up time is higher than modern printers, which could delay first-page printing. Firmware updates and driver support might be limited due to the device's age. High-yield toner cartridges can be relatively costly compared to newer printer consumables.
