What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's print-speed and copy-related fields are inconsistent with one another and with its print-only function, so they do not establish a reliable speed or copying capability. The headline model wording also claims Wi-Fi, AirPrint, memory-card printing and a 3.5-inch screen, while technical fields give limited or inconsistent detail about supported connections, controls and display size. Confirm the selected listing's connectivity and included configuration before purchase. The optional battery pack's stated output of up to 54 prints per charge is a manufacturer claim, not an unconditional battery specification. The up-to-100-year print-life claim depends on controlled storage conditions.
