This MFD is targeted towards the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) segment.It has a roller scanner with an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) unit, which can take up to 20 pages. So if you want to scan or copy more than a single page, then you don’t have to waste time changing the original paper one by one. Another great feature, which we noticed is that if you send a color image to a regular monochrome fax, then the PSC 5110 automatically detects and sends the image in black and white, which reduces the time taken to send the fax.
On the performance front, the MFD gave very sharp and clear printouts of both text and full-page graphics. Although it took about 4 mins to print the full-page graphic on photo-paper the wait was worth it. In printing multiple pages of full-page text, its print speed was 7 ppm, as against its rated 12. This difference of rating happens in all inkjets, and in this case, it’s fairly fast.
On the scanner front, it managed to scan a full-page color graphic in just 37 secs, which was pretty fast and the resulting quality was also good. Its features, compact size and price make it the Editor’s Choice for the SOHO segment.
