A striking feature that sets the MF4320D apart from other MFDs is its eco-friendly approach; given that Green IT is the buzzword in the industry nowaday. But the icing on the cake is that this device does not compromise on performance in turn. To start with, MF4320D is a monochrome laser printer bundled with copying and scanning features. It is 'Energy Star' and 'RoHS 'compliant with single button (2-side) 'press auto duplex' feature that saves paper, adding to the eco-friendliness. To enhance efficiency, many innovative technologies have been used. These include UFRII Lt (ultra fast rendering) printing system that integrates computers and MFD's RAM for fast processing that speeds up printing, and on demand fixing technology for minimizing energy consumption. In the energy saver mode this device consumes less than 3W of power. MF4320D also scores a lot in convenience as it's easy to install on a network and has a USB 2.0 interface with all the necessary buttons to make your work smooth.

The device was able to print 22 pages per minute, the same as the speed it took for copying. The first page came out in less than 9s, almost equal to HP LaserJet M2727nf (reviewed in June 2008). Scanning full page colour document took about 75s (600 dpi) that is 35s more than HP LaserJet M2727nf. The quality of print was excellent for text as can be expected from laser printers while quality of scanned images was good.

Bottom Line: An efficient MFD that consumes less power; in short a must have for all SMBs.
