Overview
Busy shared offices and records rooms are the home for this monochrome laser printer, which holds confidential jobs until someone releases them at the keypad. A small LCD walks users through settings and troubleshooting steps.
Secure print release stops payroll and HR pages from sitting in the output tray for anyone to read. Wireless is absent from the connection list, so placement follows the network cabling.
Who it's for
HR departments, law offices and clinics that send sensitive pages to a shared machine get PIN-released printing and fast output. Wireless-only homes will need a cable run or a different printer.
Pros and cons
- Fast single-sided output
- Short first page out time
- PIN-based secure print release
- Legacy parallel port included
- No wireless connection listed
- Duplex speed much slower
- Heavy at over thirty pounds
Performance notes
Single-sided jobs run at full engine speed, while duplex jobs slow sharply because each sheet passes through twice. The quick first page out matters most in offices sending many short jobs, where warm-up time dominates the wait.
