Big mistake! 1

The recto / verso automatic feature is available (except the scanner) as the MX 870 ... which costs double, or on newer models! But careful to check if the heads are included in the ink cartridges. It might matter (dirt / price) depending on use.
For the rest, see more reviews (congestion, noise, many functions, etc.).
Note: the leaves do not fall down. On the other hand, I have not tried photo printing.
PS For the Fax (black and color), according to the manual, a telephone connection 6 son (not 2) seems necessary.
