The printer has an automated process which works on both PC and Mac, guiding you through the necessary options to get this machine up and running within a very short period of time.

Standard paper capacity depends on which model you opt for, although all the base models can have additional trays added to them to take the capacity from 625 sheets to 1675 sheets.
