Manual of product P-3520D
Editorial note
The Utax P-3520D printer stands out with its impressive printing speed of 30 pages per minute, making tasks easier in demanding work environments. Its built-in duplex printing feature optimizes resource use, contributing to a significant reduction in paper waste. Additionally, the laser printing technology ensures exceptional quality with a maximum resolution of 600 x 600 DPI, perfect for professional documents. The 250-sheet paper capacity ensures smooth print management without interruption, and the integrated memory card reader offers a convenient solution for data storage and management. However, a few drawbacks are worth mentioning. The lack of Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity may limit connection options for users wishing to print wirelessly from multiple devices. Furthermore, while the duplex printing speed of 17 ppm is acceptable, it is lower than that of some competing models, which could slow down workflow during high-volume printing. The 32 MB internal memory may also prove insufficient for users with significant printing needs. Finally, weighing 12 kg, the printer may be difficult to move, especially in tight workspaces. In terms of scores, the user experience is rated satisfactory with a score of 75, while the overall performance of the printer reaches 80. The design is considered functional but penalized by its weight (score of 70). The value for money is fair with a score of 78, although some limitations may affect heavy users. The features, including laser printing technology and the memory card reader, are well-rated (score of 82), while ease of use is appreciated with a score of 76. The user manual receives an excellent score of 85, reflecting the quality of the provided documentation. In summary, the Utax P-3520D is a high-performing printer, suitable for office needs, but its lack of wireless connectivity and certain limitations in memory and weight may not suit all users.Score details
