Savin MP 5002 Printer Review
Speed is the essence of almost every feature of the Savin MP 5002. This laser multifunction copier can provide 50 pages per minute when printing and copying, and even faster rates of up to 61 images per minute when scanning, though color scans come at a rate of 31 images per minute. Scanning and printing are optional features, but come included with the upgraded MP 5002sp model, as well as the addition of a built-in hard drive. Both models benefit from the cost-effectiveness of Savin MP 5002 toner.
Most of the speed of the MP 5002 comes from its core components, such as a 533 MHz CPU that handles processing, and 512 MB of RAM which can even be upgraded to 1 GB if users start experiencing slowdowns under heavy load. Another major factor in speed is the 100-sheet automatic reversing document feeder. This component can blaze through a stack of pages very quickly, even when they are two-sided, and is essential for converting large volumes of paper to digital documents.
Some of the smaller features, which are still quite useful, are the internal hard drive for storage and a front-mounted USB port for connecting a flash drive or other storage medium. An external keyboard can be connected to this port for easier entry of email addresses and other information, though the full-color touch screen does an adequate job.
The Savin MP 5002 toner is located behind an easy-to-reach access panel, which makes replacing toners very simple. Savin MP 5002 toner cartridges cost less than many of the printer toner used in competing models, and the low cost per page of Savin MP 5002 toner cartridges helps users save on every page printed.
While the speed of MP 5002 may be what first attracts buyers, the smaller features will likely be most appreciated by users. These extras help to streamline a user's work day, and they make the machine an even more valuable asset.
