The IBM Infoprint-1222 is a monochrome laser printer able to print documents up to A4 size. With a compact size that enables it to easily sit on a desktop or a shelf, it is best suited to a small or home office. Operating costs are low, and further savings are possible with its toner-saving modes and duplex printing. Wireless connectivity enables printing from multiple devices, but this comes only as an optional extra and will cost more. As a basic, no-frills monochrome printer, it will produce clear, high quality documents. However, because it has no facility to colour print, copy or scan, the printer is limited in what it can achieve.
