This printing device utilizes electrophotographic print technology, and its speed varies depending on the media type being used. When printing on A4 paper, it can print up to 30 pages per minute (ppm). On letter-sized paper, the speed increases to 32 ppm, while auto duplex printing has a speed of up to 13 ppm. The auto duplex feature enables the printer to print on both sides of a single page automatically. It is worth noting that the first print output is released in less than 8.5 seconds.

Specifications
The print quality of a document is determined by the operating system used, with DOS capable of producing up to 600 dots per inch (dpi). For those using Windows OS versions 2000, XP, and Vista, the print resolution can reach a maximum of 2400 x 1200 dpi, with other resolutions at 600 dpi and 300 dpi. Meanwhile, Mac OS offers similar print resolution to that of Windows and Linux OS. It’s crucial to note that the resolution of printing processes is heavily influenced by the operating system in use.
The printer is equipped with a NEC model VR5500 standard processor, clocking in at an impressive 300 MHz. Its standard internal memory is a robust 32 MB of RAM, but there are also additional memory options available. These include a 1 DIMM (144pin) option, as well as slot entries for expandable memory ranging from 64 MB all the way up to a massive 512 MB. So whether you’re printing a small document or a large project, this printer has the memory capacity to handle it all.
The printer offers various connectivity options to connect to a PC, including USB, Ethernet, and WLAN. The most commonly used method is through the standard USB 2.0 full speed port. However, it also supports IEEE 1284 parallel component and Ethernet 10/100base-TX. In addition, it supports multiple network protocols such as TELNET, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, APOP, POP, ICMP, and IPP/IPPS.
Moreover, the printer also supports various print languages, including PCL6, BL-Script 3 (Postscript 3 language emulation), Epson FX-850, and IBM Pro-Printer XL. These languages enable the printer to handle complex printing tasks with ease and efficiency.
