Questions about this item
What does 30 ppm mean when I am actually printing?
It prints up to 30 black-and-white pages per minute under standard test conditions; real-world speed depends on document complexity and paper path.
What does the IEEE 1284-B parallel port cap in practice?
The parallel port limits data transfer to legacy speeds, so the USB 2.0 or built-in Fast Ethernet server are the practical choices for modern networks.
How much desk depth does the printer need with both trays loaded?
The unit measures 356 mm deep at the longest media size, so allow at least that depth plus cable clearance at the rear.
