That said, I noticed one hiccup. If the USB connection or host computer is going to sleep, you sometimes have to wake both to reinitiate printing. Also, for graphics heavy or image-based pages, you'll see slower sections and slightly heavier toner usage. That's not a surprise given the printer's mono laser design. Features and tech.Watch
