Overview
Busy offices and small workgroups get a monochrome laser all-in-one that prints, scans, copies and shares over a wired or wireless network. Originals feed through an automatic document feeder that scans both sides in one pass, and a color touchscreen runs the menus and custom shortcuts.
Speed and paper handling make the strongest case here, with expandable trays and default two-sided printing cutting paper use. It prints in black only, and the bulky chassis needs a dedicated spot on a desk or stand.
Who it's for
Shared office printing, contract scanning and high volume copying suit this machine. Households after color photos or a small desktop footprint should look at a different class of printer.
Pros and cons
- Fast black and white print speed
- Scans both sides in one pass
- Gigabit Ethernet plus dual band Wi-Fi
- Expandable paper capacity with optional trays
- Monochrome only, no color printing
- Heavy unit for a small desk
- Extra trays sold separately
- Cloud scanning needs an internet account
Performance notes
Rated speed applies to one-sided printing, so the default two-sided mode does not run at the headline figure. Toner yield governs how often cartridges change, and the high-yield replacement stretches that interval well past the starter cartridge. Custom media and envelopes feed through the multipurpose tray, while plain paper runs from the main tray.
