Summary

This is true high-performance versatility. You'll quickly print photos with color resolution up to 4800 x 1200 color dpi; a borderless 4" x 6" photo takes only about 46 seconds. The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) holds up to 30 originals, so it's much easier to copy, scan or fax large documents. Copies will be remarkably true to the originals, and documents will feature bold, laser-quality text. You'll produce 1200-dpi scans with vibrant 48-bit color depth, and achieve Super G3 fax speed in color and B&W.
