Specifications:
The printing speed of this printer is not very high like mono-laser printer and not very like inkjet printers but it is good enough: 18 pages per minute with the resolution of 600 x 2400 DPI. This printer has a very small display on the top that helps user to navigate the printer settings easily. This is a very small and compact printer with simplicity. The dimensions of this printer are approx 410mm in width, 460mm in depth and the height of the printer is 252mm. The total weight of this printer is 18 kg.
Auto duplex feature is the crown of this printer because if you would like to print both side of the paper then you don’t have to flip it manually, it will do automatically with the help of one option while giving print command.
I really like one more feature of this printer, which is its paper handling system. The input tray (cassette type) of this printer is completely covered and cannot be seen from outside. This design is very helpful because it prevents dust, dirt or any other unwanted thinks from entering the printer. This tray can hold 250 pages at a time.
This printer uses 4 toner cartridges. I have given all four model numbers below:
TN-223BK (Black)
TN-223C (Cyan)
TN-223M (Magenta)
TN-223Y (Yellow)
This printer also supports mobile printing. You can give print commands from your mobile by installing its app on your mobile devices. You can download its app from the Google Play Store or Apple Play Store.
