  • Questionsummary says it is "laser quality". Is it laser or inkjet?

    Asked by Kathleen.

    • Answer Probably the best question asked for the product. The assertion implies two distinct things for me: firstly, it implies maybe that the printer's not a laser printer but that it achieves laser quality printing despite that and, secondly, that it is a laser printer that ironically achieves laser quality printing, thereby implying that achieving the one thing it's supposed to achieve is remarkable enough to note that as a feature of the product. It's definitely a laser printer so I guess we're stuck with the manufacturer's implication that they're so amazing that their laser printer can achieve laser quality printing that it must be noted in its description despite it otherwise qualifying as what should be a default capability of said laser printer. C'mon, guys. It's a laser printer. The "laser quality" aspect should just go without saying. If it has to be stated, I worry for the quality of entire product line. Would an auto manufacturer state, "... can achieve highway speeds"? Likely not because it should be capable of at least that by default. lol.

  • QuestionCan this printer copy 2 sided papers as well as just printing 2 sided papers?

  • QuestionWill it feed heavier paper, e.g. cardstock, index cards, certificates?

    Asked by Jeff.

    • Answer Yes but only one at a time and only after opening the outfield on the back of the machine and flipping a couple of internal levers. The levers are hard to move. Also the software must specify the thickness. I found that forgetting to set the thickness with Microsoft Word or Acrobat reader while printing envelopes resulted in ghost images of the printing messing up the quality of the print. If the thickness is set correctly, it prints fine.
