Overview
Printing homework, invoices and letters at a single desk is the job here, with a compact laser engine and a USB link to one computer. A manual feed slot and rear exit give envelopes and letterhead a straight paper path.
The straight-through path helps thicker stock and envelopes come out flat, which a curved paper path can struggle with. Connectivity is the limit, with USB only and no network or wireless listed.
Who it's for
Students, freelancers and home offices printing black text from one machine get a compact laser with a large tray. Households sharing a printer over Wi-Fi need a networked model.
Pros and cons
- Large letter or legal tray
- Straight paper path for envelopes
- Toner Save mode for drafts
- USB is the only connection
- Manual duplex only
Performance notes
Envelopes and letterhead feed through the manual slot and leave from the rear, avoiding the bend that curls heavier stock. Toner Save mode lays down less toner on draft pages, which stretches each cartridge at the expense of darkness.
