It
is very attractively priced at Rs 12,000, which is a
reasonable deal
for small offices and home users. It allows efficient use of
office
space as it offers professional level printing, color
scanning and
flatbed copying, etc in a compact form weighing just 10 kgs
and
measuring just 438x368x374mm. It doesn't have double-side
printing
or network connectivity, but in this price that is still a
rarity,
which will limit the requirements in small offices to a
major extent.
