What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent about app-free operation versus an App control method, and customer feedback mentions Bluetooth pairing even though the printer's listed wireless connection is Wi-Fi. The claimed rechargeable battery capacity of 160 Letter sheets per charge and simultaneous connections for up to 10 devices are feature claims, not confirmed specifications. Verify the intended setup and operating claims before purchase.
