One of the cheapest MFP models, which is well suited for the home. It is compact in size, fits well into modern interiors. The bundled cartridge is so small that it only lasts for 100 sheets.It will not be possible to refill it - the manufacturer has set a limit, and it will not work to reset it using the methods known to Google.

If you print a lot, we recommend choosing a model from our rating with CISS printing - it is much more economical.
