Rated 4 out of 5 by from Alles I.O. Alles o.k. das Druckerprogramm dürft besser sein. Installation geht nicht für alle PC. Probleme mit der Kommunikation
Date published: 2024-03-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from funktioniert sehr gut Der Drucker ist für einen Privathaushalt fast zu gross (auch das Format) - doch er druckt gut und recht schnell aus. Ich bin mit dem Resultat mehr wie zufrieden!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Solides Gerät Die Installation am Server hat sich nicht ganz einfach dargestellt. Die Funktion "Scan to Mail" macht immer noch Probleme. Ich schaffe es nicht, einen Scan an den M365-Server zu senden. Vermutlich wird das mal mit einem Update behoben werden.
