Nowadays the most important factor for small business success is how to reduce cost. One way of doing this is by considering document handling requirements and looking at replacing outdated equipment.

Huge paper storage capacity is one of the best features among devices of this caliber.

The D661’s single cartridge system is an enhanced feature providing 5000 pages at five percent density. Changing the toner is easy, just pull down the flap and swap the cartridge out. It’s an economical package with a toner and drum in one replaceable unit providing image clarity and excellent output.

The D661 has been re-manufactured to meet modern standards. Its specifications are maybe a bit of overkill for a home business but they are all nice-haves. There can sometimes be a problem with paper jams, but the path is easily followed to clear them out. The one touch system, collating multi page documents, paper storage, paper handling and USB interface are compensation to this little inconveniences anyway. The printing technology results in a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and 1200 x 600 dpi software emulation quality with an equipped printing memory of 2 MB.

With the D661 following the green printing techniques this helps in saving paper, toner and energy. It reduces the size of prints and prints multiple pages on one sheet allowing for saving resources and in the end this proves to be very cost-effective. Its high quality toner cartridge is designed to be maintenance free saving time regarding cartridge replacement. It results in a reliable image quality page after page. This is one of the best devices in its class and should sell well.
