Model code matters: 1F3W2A helps you match the exact variant when listings look similar.
USB-only is the big decision point: this is best if you print from one main computer.
Print speeds are “up to”: real-world results vary by document type and settings.
Manual duplex means you flip pages yourself: useful for occasional double-sided printing.
Flatbed scanning is practical: place the page on the glass for cleaner scans of forms and IDs.
Paper size support helps reduce returns: it supports A4, A6, B5, and Legal.
Colour quality spec is for computer printing: good to know if you print graphics from a PC.
The monthly duty cycle is listed as up to 3,000 pages: treat this as a maximum, not a target for daily heavy use.
Tray capacity guidance: Some listings mention a 100-sheet input tray and a 30-sheet output.
File formats listed: JPG and PDF are supported file formats.
