Specifications
As I peruse through the scanner, I notice that the scanner glass has certain limitations with regards to input width and height. Specifically, the input width cannot exceed 215.9 mm while the input height is capped at 297 mm. However, when utilizing the automatic document feeder (ADF), the input width can range from 148 to 215.9 mm while the input height can go up to 355.6 mm. This ADF component is capable of holding up to 35 sheets of plain or legal paper, which serves as a valuable supplement to the paper input feature.
From a technical standpoint, the input tray of this device has a maximum capacity of 100 sheets of plain or legal paper, whereas the output tray can only hold up to 50 sheets of paper. In terms of connectivity, the printer boasts a full speed USB 2.0 port as its primary option, although it can also support an Ethernet LAN network port.
The printing device boasts an impressive internal memory of up to 32 MB of RAM, which, when combined with its powerful processor, produces top-notch quality prints. Moreover, this device supports an external TAD interface and a dual access input for print processes. When sending or receiving a fax, the modem speed clocks in at a remarkable 33600 bps, while the transmission speed averages at around 3 seconds per page.
The printer color depth is about 64 levels for monochrome and 256 levels for colored. At the same time, it supports a delayed faxing of up to 50 and has a memory transmission during a quick scan of approximately 3.3 seconds per page on letter-sized paper and 3.5 seconds per page on an A4 paper.
