Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What sets the HL-3180CDW model apart from other models in the HL-3100 series line?
  Unlike standard single-function printers, this multifunction unit adds a built-in color flatbed scanning glass array and an intuitive color touchscreen display, allowing you to execute standalone copies and network scans without needing a secondary device.
• Does this wireless model also include a physical network port for office patch cables?
  Yes. This versatile model features dual networking infrastructure options, providing both a built-in factory wireless interface and a physical 10/100 Ethernet RJ-45 network jack on the rear panel.
• Do I need to replace the entire printing core when just one color runs low on powder?
  No. This hardware utilizes a cost-effective two-piece consumable layout. Each of the four color toner cartridges can be swapped out individually from their separate long-life drum housings, allowing you to optimize operational costs across shared network workgroups.
