...is more than any other printer in that class. Black toner cost around £55, color around £80. Standard paper feeder has capacity of 500 sheets (60-105g/m2, A4, B5, A5, Letter and custom 148x210 to 216x356mm), manual feeder takes up to 100 sheets (60-200g/m2, A4 B5, A5, Letter, Legal, Custom 70x148 - 216x297mm).

Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Easy to Feed paper
Disadvantages: It doesnt fit into standard computer desks,

It can also easily be networked, just pick the computer you want to attach it to and then access the printer from any other as with any equipment that has sharing capabilities.

I had been wary of buying an auto sheet feeder as I thought it would be much too large and therefore void the reason behind buying a portable printer. However the ASF-50 is a compact sheet feeder as well. The printer sits inside it and then the sheet feeder folds over the top making it still very portable. Also now all my printing comes out straight which looks much more professional. All in all a great idea for making life... Read review
