Questions about this item
What Ethernet standard does the RJ-45 port support and what throughput does that cap the network link at?
The RJ-45 port supports Ethernet 10/100/1000BaseTX, so the wired link caps at 1000 Mbps.
What paper sizes and tray depths must the desk space accommodate for the two standard trays?
Tray 1 handles custom sizes from 3 x 5 in to 8.5 x 14 in plus envelopes; Tray 2 holds 250 sheets of letter or legal, so allow depth for both trays fully extended.
How is the printer installed on a network and which step is often missed?
Connect the RJ-45 cable, power on, then use the 4.3" colour touchscreen to configure the IP address or enable DHCP; the step often missed is printing the configuration page to verify the network settings before sending jobs.
