What’s the Big Deal about Duplex Printing?
How about cutting your paper cost by half? That’s what printing on both sides
does. Duplex printing is a trees best friend, utilizing the front and back of each
page for printing output.
Most users don’t think much about duplex printing. That’s because this capability
has never been widely available—and certainly never available at such a low
price.
Who Is the T420d for?
The T420d printer is designed to meet the needs of departmental and small-
business users who demand the crisp output that only a laser printer can provide,
but who want it in an easy-to-use, high-quality printer. In addition, with the ability
to print on both sides, the T420d is a great way to cut costs, a fact of life that
every company is facing, regardless of size.
