a print resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, text looks

detailed and

sharp with a print speed of 23ppm and first page print time

of 13

sec. Scanning can be done at 1200 x 1200 dpi in PDF, JPEG or

TIFF

file formats. Scan is done to the PC and can be edited, and

has the

capability to look into email inbox and document repository

folder

for scanned files. The editor can enhance the quality of

scanned

files. It takes around 16 seconds to scan an object and 16

seconds to

copy the first page. Unfortunately, multiple copies is not

available

and only one copy can be taken out at one time.

3045 also includes fax and Wi-Fi support, which is

remarkable for an

MFD priced at Rs 16,000. This indeed is a gift for SMEs with

real

tight budget but serious business requirements. WorkCentre

3045

handles heavy workloads of up to 30,000 pages per month.

is a must buy for SMEs and home based users because of its

attractive

price, Wi-Fi support, and features like fax, scan and copy.
