The Epson AcuLaser C9300TN networked A3 colour business laser printer is a high quality machine with the capability to print in colour while ensuring a lower cost-per-page ratio. It is aimed at busy and growing workgroups that need an easy-to-use and upgradeable device, but some users might be disappointed with the high initial cost of the AcuLaser C9300TN colour printer and the absence of some time-saving features.
Design
This is a boxy device with an understated frame that measures 499.5mm wide, 422mm tall, and 538mm deep, and weighs 41Kg. The Epson C9300TN colour laser printer comes with two default paper trays, which includes a 155-sheet multipurpose tray and a 250-sheet cassette. Standard connectivity features include USB 2.0 and gigabit Ethernet, but type B and parallel ports are also available as options. The operator panel has minimal keys and a five-line, 22-character LCD screen.
Advantages
The memory is upgradeable to one gigabyte and the backlit display screen makes it easier to view the status of the Epson AcuLaser C9300TN workgroup printer. The paper capacity can be increased to 2,055 sheets. Users can get creative with their output because the Epson AcuLaser C9300TN printer supports a wider range of media types and sizes, including A3 paper. The C9300TN can easily be integrated into a network. Featuring AcuBrite toner in its original Epson C9300TN cartridges, this AcuLaser printer delivers high quality glossy results by incorporating a special resin into the toner to ensure that wax melts easily during fusing.
Disadvantages
The Epson C9300TN is expensive, heavy, and bulky. The print speeds are not good enough for high-volume output. The output bin can only handle up to 150 sheets, which is insufficient when bulk printing is concerned. The AcuLaser C-9300TN A3 laser printer deserves a larger display screen and direct-printing capabilities for more efficiency. Two-sided printing is optional.
