🖨️What kind of printer this is

A color laser printer fuses toner powder onto paper. It is fast, crisp on text and good for business color such as charts, flyers and logos. Toner never dries out, so it is reliable even if you print only now and then.

📊What the specs mean

Color

Prints in color using four cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow), each replaced separately.

Wi-Fi

Print from laptops and phones anywhere on your network, with no cable. USB is there as a backup.

Auto 2-sided (duplex)

Prints on both sides of the page by itself, which cuts paper use in half.

💰The real cost of a printer

The price tag is only the start. Over 3 years most printers cost more in toner than to buy. Before choosing, compare:

• Cost per page: cartridge price ÷ page yield.
• Recommended monthly volume: the pages per month it handles comfortably. The bigger duty cycle number is a maximum, not a target.
• Starter cartridges: many printers ship with setup cartridges that hold less than a full one. Plan your first order early.

2. Install the toner cartridge(s) and load paper.
3. Power on and follow the screen to pick your language and join your Wi-Fi.
