Description

Colour printing at mono speed

On many printers colour is noticeably slower than black, but on the L15160 both run at 25 ipm. The figures follow ISO/IEC 24734, measured with ordinary office documents, so the number describes real work. Colour presentations, reports full of charts and marketing material come out at the same pace as plain text, and no queue builds up behind a colour job.

A3+ for drawings, plans and posters

A3+ is slightly larger than A3, so the printer accepts a full-size A3 sheet with room to spare at the edges. Wide spreadsheets, drawings, floor plans, posters and large charts can be printed on site without sending them out to an external printing service. Two-sided printing cuts paper use and keeps bulky documents slimmer in the binder.

A larger output tray for long jobs

The output tray holds 250 sheets, so a long job or several colleagues printing back to back does not overflow it straight away, and nobody has to keep clearing pages. The touchscreen makes it easy to pick print, copy and scan settings without a computer. The printer weighs 20.9 kg and needs a sturdy desk or stand where it can stay put.

Ink tanks instead of cartridges

EcoTank printers use built-in ink tanks refilled from bottles rather than cartridges. There are four colours: black, yellow, magenta and cyan. When consumables need topping up less often, jobs are interrupted less and the office spends less time looking after the printer, which matters most when colour and large-format printing happen every day.

Network, scanner and fax in one place

Ethernet and Wi-Fi put the printer on the office network, Wi-Fi Direct lets a phone or tablet connect directly, and the USB host port accepts an external USB device such as a flash drive. A colour scanner at up to 2400 × 1200 dpi, copying without a computer and fax handle the usual office paperwork from a single device.

Who this all-in-one printer is for

Design, advertising and marketing teams that print a lot in colour and do not want to wait for it, whether it is proofs, mock-ups or client presentations; architecture and engineering offices where A3 drawings are an everyday task; and larger offices where several people print over the network and a 250-sheet output tray keeps the workflow moving.

Questions & answers

Is colour printing slower than mono?

No. According to the manufacturer, the L15160 prints at 25 ipm under ISO/IEC 24734 in both mono and colour.

Does it print on both sides of the paper?

Yes, two-sided printing is supported, so sheets do not have to be turned over by hand.

Can it print in A3 format?

Yes. The maximum print size is A3+, which is slightly larger than A3, so a standard A3 sheet fits.

Can the printer join the office network?

Yes, with an Ethernet cable or over Wi-Fi. There is also Wi-Fi Direct for a direct link and USB for connecting a single computer.
