Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

PROS: - All major functionality supported (excluding wireless): USB and Ethernet. Copy/print/fax/scan. Doc feeder and platen - Very inexpensive unit to buy and own; remanufactured toner is plentiful and CHEAP! - In supporting many units for over a year, jamming and other failures is exceptionally (and surprisingly) rare. - Decently small footprint - Easy to setup - Surprisingly fast prints CONS: - Small paper tray capacity - Small doc feeder capacity - Kind of noisy (more weird sounding than loud) - Toner yield only so/so - Network scanning is very poorly implemented and supported. (USB is decent tho) I support many offices and for low volume multifunction use, this little guy is a world champ. Ive setup about 15 of them and not a single one has failed in a year. The typical yield I see is around 800-2500 pages per toner, it can vary alot based on coverage and quality of the toner. I only use remanufactured toners. But at $12-15 a pop, you really cant beat it! I buy them in packs of 4 or more. Printing is surprisingly fast even out of power save mode. I would not recommend this unit for high volume, nor would I any unit at this price point. Its input and output trays are not that big. The main paper tray can hold about 1/3rd of a ream of paper, about 200 pages. (specs say 250 or 1/2 a ream but thats pushin it, very few printing devices like a maxed out paper tray) The ADF is rated for only 35 pages, and thats pushin it too. If you try to fax a bunch of stuff in the ADF with alot of pages that are folded/crinkled/different sizes and thicknesses etc it will probably jam. A small stack of clean pages are fine tho. Again, this unit is not meant for a busy/high-volume environment. As others have mentioned, its network scanning sucks. Ive gotten it to work, but its very quirky. Direct USB scanning works much better. Scanning is the least used/least needed functionality in where I have deployed these units. With such a small upfront and ongoing cost point, Im currently considering these units for a 1-per user deployment strategy. Printers for everyone! I also have one in my home and its flawless. I recommend this unit to everyone I know.
