This flat little laser printer is a good machine for the price.
looks:-
Well i can say it looks the part on an office desk it's footprint is pretty much square and is about 6-7 inches high. It has charcoal grey sides and a typically light grey top and front. WxDxH: 371x381x165mm. Weight: 6.5kg.
usefulness:-
This printer is ideal for the job whitch I got it for just to print address labels and email orders for my company sharp clear blacks and crosshatched greyscales.
Prints at approx 14 ppm not 16 ppm the 8mb of memory is a bit limited what this basically means when you send to it a large print job of address labels it will have to keep refering back to your computer rather than storing the whole job in memory which can slow down your pc.
It only holds 250 sheets in the paper tray not much for me. it has a pretty useless manual feed as do most of these little printers for heavier cardstock. ease of use:-
This is a snap pop in the cd and follow the instructions. as far as i know it works on all versions of windows i have only tried it on win xp and mac os x no problems in either.
value:-
2.5 pence per printed page on average for the drum and toner is what i have gotten from this machine. the printer only costs between £60-80 so it is a bargain. it is lasting very well printed 1000's of pages on it.
overall:-
very good little printer for very small run printing.
