Graphics are easily good enough for any internal business use, but also show enough flaws so that you probably won't want to use them for output going to important clients. You shouldn't have any complaints about the text, for example, unless you have an unusual need for small fonts. Output quality on my tests was within the typical range for a mono laser MFP, making it suitable for most business needs.

As a point of reference, the similarly priced HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP ($199 direct, 3.5 stars) was convincingly faster, at 11.3 ppm. Not surprisingly, since all four printers in the KX-MB2000 series are built around the same 24 page per minute (ppm) engine, the KX-MB2030 was essentially tied with its three siblings. On our business applications suite, I timed the printer (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing) at a relatively slow (for the price) 8.7 pages per minute (ppm). At 12.0 by 16.5 by 17.0 inches (HWD), you shouldn't have any trouble finding room for it, and at 26.5 pounds, it light enough for one person to move into place.įor my tests, I connected the KX-MB2030 to a network using its Ethernet port, and ran the tests from a Windows Vista system. It's also suitably small for its intended use.

Note too that the printer includes a 250-sheet input tray, which should be more than enough for a personal printer or micro office, along with a manual feed, so you can print on different paper stock without having to swap out the paper in the tray.
