It is a wireless laser printer (*) compact monochrome 7.5 kg, with 3 useful functions it performs effectively: Copier - Scanner - Printer. The interest of black and white is that in use it much cheaper than color and especially ideal for my needs. When I really need a color paper (to date this has not yet happened) there is the scanner that can record in color. Then just go to a specialty store that will print in color for a relatively small fee. I made a similar argument for color photos: better ask at specialty shops that make me a price significantly lower than with color ink cartridges and photo paper for corresponding printer. Anyway, color lasers do not compete with ink jet printers. As against the black and white laser printer is definitely better. These are all practical considerations that guided my choice for a monochrome laser printer when my old printer color ink jet passed away. (*) The WiFi is of type WPS but in this case I used a network cable to the Ethernet connection, with no WPS compatible PC.
