The Pros:Handles color duplex scanning smoothly and easily, great for quickly creating a copy of complex documents. Hardware setup is hassle free and quick. Black and white prints are sharp and easy to read.

The Cons:Paper tray only handles around 1/3 of a ream of paper, any more than that and it jams. Can't print more than 50 sheets at a time without the output bin overflowing and spilling pages. Takes some time to warm up before it even starts printing.
