Comparison of Technologies Ink versus Laser: Handling
Brothers laser sports fancy LEDs and a nice blue button - not very functional, however. The blue button is resposible for a lot of functions, no way to use it without a manual. It can abort one or all print jobs, repeat the last job, specify the number of copies...
HP´s ink printer has three useful buttons: The Network button is resposible for printing a status page, for example to find out the printer´s IP adress. The LED above it burns when the connection to a network is established. The X button stops and deletes the current print job. A paper feed button is on the right side.
