Is this a laser or an inkjet printer?

It is a color laser all-in-one. Laser toner fuses to the page, so text stays sharp and does not smudge from a wet highlighter.

Can it print on both sides automatically?

Yes. Automatic duplex printing is built in for A4 pages, so you can print reports and handouts without flipping paper by hand.

Does it scan and copy as well as print?

Yes. It has a flatbed scanner and works as a copier and fax machine, so one unit covers a small office's document jobs.

How does it compare with an inkjet all-in-one?

It is faster and cheaper per page on plain documents, but bigger, heavier and less suited to photos. An inkjet is the better pick if you print images often.

What connections does it offer?

It has USB connectivity. Check that your computers and network setup match before you buy, since USB is the listed connection.

Small offices and home offices that print color documents in volume and need scanning, copying and faxing in one machine. Casual users who print a few pages a month will find it oversized.
