Pick this if...
- You run a small office or team of 5-15 people that prints 1,500-5,000 mono pages a month.
- You want a no-frills mono laser at 45 ppm with auto-duplex and don't want to pay for Enterprise-level features.
- You print straight Word, PDF, accounting reports — text-heavy mono work where 600 dpi is plenty.
- You're price-sensitive but need network printing and PIN-protected job storage for the occasional confidential print.
- You want a small desktop footprint, not a floor unit.
