The CLP-600N also lacks PostScript support, which
comes standard on the CLP-650N. Both do, however,
h
ave standard Ethernet and USB interfaces, and wireless
functionality is available as an option.
Paper supply for these machines is acceptable for their
price range. They have a 250-sheet tray standard and a
100-sheet bypass tray. An optional 500-sheet tray is avail-
able. Duplex isn’t available, even as an option, for either
machine.
Predictably, consumables costs are on the high end:
15.3¢ per color page and 3.09¢ per black page.
Still, these are respectable machines for their cost.
We’re concerned about the CLP-600N’s modest (and
limited) memory and lack of PostScript support. For
these reasons, we’d go with the CLP-650N, which comes
with far more memory and PostScript for only $200
more. Both machines, however, get our Editor’s Choice
Award.
