InfoPrint 1572n - printer - B/W - laser

Description: The IBM InfoPrint 1572N is a 50 ppm, monochrome workgroup laser printer.Compared to other monochrome workgroup lasers on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $1,005.This unit has a maximum resolution of 1200dpi.

Pros: Prints at 50 ppm speed, which is somewhat faster than some similarly priced lasers.By way of comparison, the average cost of a product with this fast a speed is $1,295.Also, this laser printer with paper trays installed, this printer has a capacity of 4100 sheets total capacity, which is somewhat more than some similarly priced lasers.This printer?s ethernet capability enables it to be made available on the network without tying it to any one server.The printer?s 514 MHz processor allows the printer to transform a complex document into its printed form faster, speeding up printing.

Cons: With a capacity of only 600 sheets, this printer will not last as long between refills as most of its competitors.This laser printer does not support two-sided printing.This printer requires optional trays to achieve its 4100 sheets, which is 3500 more than its out-of the box capacity.
