Excellent duplex printer - also tricks for an exceptionally long TONER LIFE

HOW TO SAVE MONEY WITH THIS PRINTER This section is the first because it is important for every buyer of this printer to save toner and get more pages from a cartridge. With the TONER SAVE OPTION, each page can be printed slightly lighter. A NOTICE. This mode is not recommended for printing photos or grayscale images. On the printer, press:* MENU* Up/Down Arrow to select GENERAL SETTINGS, then OK* Up/Down Arrow to select ECO, then OK* Up/Down Arrow to select TONER SAVE, then OK* Up/Down Arrow to select On. or Off then OK* Stop/ExitHOW TO GET MORE FREE PAGES WHEN TONER IS LOW============= ================= == == =================== Not only that, the cost of replacement toner cartridges is very cheap. , the printer keeps track of how much toner is left in the printer and stops you when it can no longer guarantee that every page is perfect. Most of us know that you can shake a cartridge to extend its life, but when it comes to a printer that refuses to print, there is a way to override the printer and keep it printing until the toner has run out. (See page 30 of the "Basic User's Guideโ€). To keep the machine printing after the REPLACE TONER message appears on the printer screen, set the machine to CONTINUE mode. To do this, press:* MENU* up/down arrow until GENERAL SETTINGS appears, then OK* up/down arrow until REPLACE TONER appears, then OK* up/down arrow until NEXT appears, then OK . cartridge at this time to redistribute the toner in the cartridge. The printer will continue to print until TONER LOW appears. Only the last few pages may have streaks. A DUPLEX device that automatically prints on both sides of each page. I quickly got fed up with manual two-sided printing on my last printer. I love the DUPLEX mode on this printer and have set it as the default for all my documents, although I can override it on a case-by-case basis. SCANNER Scanning is very easy. Document or picture or whatever. I just place the original on the scanner's glass bed, press the SCAN button and follow the instructions on the printer (press OK twice, then START). The printer automatically opens the desired program on your computer and displays the scanned image behind any previously edited document. I suspect they set it up so that if someone else asks it to scan, it doesn't confuse the person currently sitting at the computer. multi-page documents with ease. I just haven't had to do it yet. OTHER This is also a copier and it takes almost half a ream of paper at a time so I don't have to refill it too often. I connected it to the router. wired, but I could leave it wireless. I can print to it from any computer on the network, wired or wireless. ONE CONS The only downside is that I have to install the printer software on every computer I want to print from, but as this is a one-time inconvenience I wasn't expecting the full performance of a traditional cartridge, or even a high capacity cartridge . However, you don't need to order a replacement cartridge until you get warnings based on the information I gave at the beginning of this review. LOCATION OF THE PRINTER You can place this printer anywhere. I decided to put it on a small desk in a tiny corner in the hallway between the living room and the two bedrooms. I chose to leave it hardwired to my router, although once installed (which should be wired) I could unplug it and leave it wireless. MY RECOMMENDATION I hope you are as happy with this printer as I am. I would highly recommend this printer to you.
