Auto Duplex provides automatic double-sided printing, which saves paper while delivering professional looking documents. For smart web printing use the Easy-WebPrint EX plug-in and only print what you need. It makes it simple to clip information from websites and combine them into one page for efficient printing.

The FINE cartridge system delivers a great level of detail with speed. Print quality documents and photos fast with an A4 ISO ESAT speed of 9.2ipm mono/5.0ipm colour and output a 10x15cm borderless photo in approx. 44 seconds. Produce an A4 colour copy in approx. 20 seconds.
My Image Garden software
A single toolbox offers easy photo printing, scanning and access to online services like CREATIVE PARK PREMIUM. With its photo organising capabilities, including face recognition, it will search the photos on your PC, even those long forgotten, and assemble them into great designs for printing. It also makes it simple to scan to Cloud services and create PDFs.
Print direct from Facebook
The Print Your Days app lets you print your, and your friends’, photos directly from Facebook. Apply various effects or create eye-catching collages of up to five photos on a single page, using one of the many background styles available.
Save energy
Cut your power consumption with Auto Power Off, which switches the printer off if not used for a set time. Auto Power On conveniently turns it back on, automatically, when you start printing.
