Key Advantages
The MS421dn offers high-speed printing at 40 ppm, ideal for high-volume office use. Automatic duplex printing reduces paper costs and supports eco-friendly printing practices. Network connectivity via Gigabit Ethernet allows shared access among multiple users, enhancing office workflow. The printer's compact design fits well in limited office spaces without sacrificing performance. Expandable memory options improve capability to handle demanding print tasks efficiently. Its toner cartridge system is designed for high yield, minimizing the frequency of replacements and reducing operational downtime.
Limitations
The MS421dn is a monochrome-only printer, so it cannot print color documents, limiting its use cases to black-and-white printing needs. The absence of Wi-Fi connectivity means it requires a wired network connection or direct USB connection, reducing flexibility in some environments. While the printer has automatic duplexing, it lacks advanced finishing options like stapling or booklet making. The initial cost of replacement toner cartridges can be relatively high, impacting overall running costs. Its medium-sized paper trays may require frequent refilling in very high-volume environments. Additionally, it does not support mobile printing technologies such as AirPrint or Google Cloud Print natively.
