Specifications

Specifications
[1] Dimensions vary as per configuration

[2] Power requirements are based on the country/region where the printer is sold. Do not convert operating voltages. This will damage the printer and void the product warranty.

[3] Wireless performance is dependent upon the physical environment and distance from the access point. Wireless operations are compatible with 2.4 GHz routers only; excludes wireless direct. Wireless Direct may require drivers or apps to be installed and connected on a wireless-enabled mobile device or PC. Wireless functionality may vary by computer and mobile operating systems. Print times and connection speeds may vary. Use of the Works with Apple badge means that an accessory has been designed to work specifically with the technology identified in the badge and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards.

[4] Speed specifications have been updated to reflect current industry testing methods.

[5] Either after the first page or after the first set of ISO test pages.

[6] Average based on ISO/IEC 24711 or testing methodology and continuous printing. Actual yield varies considerably based on the content of printed pages and other factors.

[7] Based on internal A4 Memo draft document methodology.

[8]Draft page yields are approximate and were measured using “Draft” print-quality settings in the Windows/Mac driver, based on the methodology from the simulation of continuous printing of ISO/IEC 24712 pages. Actual page yield varies significantly depending on content printed, ink levels maintained in all four reservoirs, and other factors.

[9] Program availability varies.

[10] Post-consumer recycled is based on the definition set in the EPEAT standard for imaging equipment, IEEE 1680.2, and is expressed as a percent of the total weight of plastic.
