Besides excellent print quality, this MFD has a function-rich front panel, having two separate sets of buttons just for copying and faxing. For instance, for faxing, there are 6 speed-dial buttons, and another button for auto-answer mode. For copying, it has separate buttons for reducing or enlarging the image and another for selecting paper type. This makes these functions extremely easy to use. In addition to these, it also has an ADF unit and an optional duplexer unit can also be attached to it.
The ADF makes it convenient to copy, fax, or scan multiple documents.
The MFD has fast text copying and printing, at 8 cpm and 9 ppm respectively. Color printing is a little slow at around five minutes for a full page graphic, but the quality is worth the wait. Color copying is faster taking 3.5 mins with no issues on quality. The scanning function took 14 secs to do a preview scan, and a further 17 and 31 secs for scanning a text and graphic document respectively. In faxing, it took 20 secs to send a full page text document and 45 secs for a page containing text and graphics.

Overall, this is a good MFD for small to medium sized organizations and workgroups, who need good quality prints, fast
copying and faxing.
