Evaluating laser multifunction products 7
Convenient interaction
• Get up and running quickly with effortless set-up and installation. Insert the software CD and you’re just a
few clicks away from printing!
• The standard Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port enables simple plug-and-play operation.
• Enjoy effortless interaction with a simple paper path, convenient front door access, and an easy-to-use, all-
in-one print cartridge that can be replaced with one hand.
• When you print from a software program, many of the product features are available from the printer
driver. You can easily create and use quick sets to save the current driver settings for reuse. For example,
you can save the page-orientation, print-on-both-sides, and paper-source settings in a quick set. Other
features include watermarks, resizing documents, setting a custom paper size, using different paper and
printing covers, printing a blank first page or last page, printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper, or
printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.
