Features:
This printer is very feature packed, I will try to cover all the major ones in this review.

Starting on the front of the printer; up the lower left side are the interface plugs. The only one available on our sample is USB, all the other (parallel, network, etc) are not included on this model. To the right of those plugs is the connector for the power cord and the power switch. The rest of the front is one large door that folds down to reveal the cavity where the CMYK toner cartridges are installed.

Looking at the left side, there is a door in the lower right corner which can be removed and a small metal cover unscrewed to allow the installation of additional memory. The unit comes with 64mb standard and can be upgraded to 192mb.

The rear of the printer features two doors. The first opens basically the entire rear of the printer to allow for cleaning, un-jamming of paper and just sight seeing! When the large door is closed as it must be for the printer to function properly there is a tray that can be opened to feeding paper in the rear if you don't wish to use the large capacity paper cassette.

On the right side of the printer at the very bottom is the paper cassette that slides out. It has a paper capacity of 250 sheets in the cassette and can support paper up to legal size. The entire rest of the right side is hinged, and when pressed in both upper corners opens downward. Inside is a removable container which collects waste toner. I really liked the waste toner collection idea as it helps to keep the inside of the printer clear from that stuff just blowing around if it wouldn't be collected.
Slightly higher on the right side is the control panel. It features a continue, cancel, menu, (3)enter and upper level buttons, as well as a two line LCD which displays all the built in settings and printer status. There is also a small side view picture of the printer with 3 LED's and when there is a paper jam the LED in the area of the jam will light up. This makes diagnosing and fixing jams real quick and easy!
