ith improved designs laser printers are now almost as compact as inkjet printers. One such device is the Panasonic KX-MB1520 which incorporates a scanner and fax. The most striking feature of the printer is its design. Its footprints is almost the same as an inkjet printer thanks to the paper tray that resides within the printer as opposed to protruding out. Also despite an integrated scanner the height is not too much.
The printer uses a toner cartridge with a built in drum and it costs Rs 4,100. The company’s rated yield is 2,500 pages which translates to economy of Rs 1.64 per print. The print resolution is 600*600 dpi which is the standard resolution of an entry level mono laser printer. The paper tray can hold 150 sheets and it can take paper size only up to A4. If you wish to use legal paper you have to use the manual feed. The faxes using the built in 33.6 kbps modem. The printer has 3.5 MB memory to store around 150 pages of fax.
The printer logged a speed of 18 ppm which matches Panasonic’s claim. The quality of printed text is very good we were not too satisfied with the print quality of gradients. The transition from black to white was not smooth in some cases but it goes unnoticed when you print small graphics.
