Performance and Processor

This printer is powered by a 500 MHz processor built on the ARM v5 base core architecture. The print engine warms up in approximately 17.2 seconds or less, allowing for efficient first-time printing with minimal delay. The machine is optimized for office power efficiency, consuming 378 W during printing, 74 W in ready mode, and only 1.1 W in sleep mode, contributing to reduced energy costs during idle periods.
