With its ability to print, scan, copy, and fax, this all-in-one device provides essential productivity features in a single unit. It combines efficiency and quality, ensuring consistent performance for daily business tasks.

Performance and Print Quality

The printer delivers speeds of up to 16 pages per minute (ppm) for both black-and-white and color printing, based on ISO standards for A4 paper. Whether printing business reports or marketing materials, the M183fw ensures output is quick and dependable. With a maximum print resolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi in both black and color, documents appear sharp and professional, suitable for internal distribution or client presentations. This model uses laser technology, known for its durability and low-cost operation over time.

Designed to support moderate workloads, the printer has a monthly duty cycle of up to 30,000 pages, allowing it to handle bursts of high-volume printing when necessary. Although manual duplex printing is available, users will need to manually reinsert pages for double-sided output.

The M183fw can produce up to 99 copies in a single operation, making it suitable for small batch jobs. Copy resolution matches the print quality at up to 600 x 600 dpi, offering clarity in text and basic graphic content.

For scanning, the device features both a flatbed and an automatic document feeder (ADF), enabling convenient digitization of single sheets or multi-page documents. Supported file formats include JPG, RAW (BMP), PNG, TIFF, and PDF, offering flexibility for various workflows. This feature enhances document handling efficiency, especially when converting physical records into digital archives.

Fax Functionality

The integrated fax function supports transmission speeds of up to 33.6 kbps (default 14.4 kbps), allowing reliable and relatively fast fax communication. The fax feature is particularly useful for users who require secure document exchange over traditional lines.

Connectivity and Mobile Printing

This printer offers a wide range of connectivity options to suit different environments. It includes a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port for direct PC connections, a built-in Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX network port for wired networking, and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) for wireless operations.
