Is this printer good for a home office?

Yes, if you mostly print text. It is fast, has duplex printing and an ADF for scanning and copying, and connects over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. It cannot print in color.

Does it print double-sided automatically?

Yes. Automatic duplex printing is built in, so two-sided documents need no manual flipping.

Can I print from my phone?

Yes. It supports mobile printing from compatible devices over your wireless network, alongside Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connections.

What comes in the box?

The printer, a starter toner cartridge, a drum unit, power cord and setup documentation. A USB cable is not always included, so check before relying on a wired connection.

How does it compare with the MFC-L2710DW?

They are closely related models with the same 34 ppm speed, 250-sheet tray and 50-sheet ADF. The L2717DW ships with a higher-yield in-box toner cartridge, so it lasts longer before the first replacement.

Does it scan in color?

Yes. Scanning is color at up to 19200 x 19200 dpi interpolated, and scans can go to email, file, image, OCR or SharePoint on a PC.
