Advantages

High maximum resolution ensures sharp colour output for documents and graphics, while the optical scanner resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi captures fine detail for archiving and copying. Built-in Wi‑Fi and Ethernet LAN allow direct printing from computers and mobile devices, and duplex printing reduces paper use for two-sided documents.
