Efficient home office output

This printer delivers a first page in as little as 7 seconds. Because it uses Heat-Free PrecisionCore Technology, there is no warm-up time. This reduces energy consumption and improves reliability. The 250-sheet front tray minimises paper reloading during busy periods.
