4.0 out of 5 stars Sharp AL-841 Copier/Printer/Scanner, March 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sharp AL-841 Digital Copier/Printer/Scanner (Office Product)
I bought the AL-841 because I needed a home copier and also to replace an obsolete laser printer. On balance, I love this unit. Installation was quick & easy with the supplied CD. The AL-841 doesn't need to be connected to a computer to copy. Stand-alone copying is fast, with excellent reproduction quality. If you are making multiple copies, it only needs to scan the original once, unlike some low-end copiers which need to scan the orignal for every copy. The front panel has standard zoom/reduction options along with continuous stepping.

As a laser printer it is very good. It takes a few seconds to start printing, but is fast once it gets going. Output is clear & sharp. I like the fairly straight paper path; it handles card stock easier than the "U" shaped path of some printers.

The things that prevent a 5 star rating are the lack of a document feeder for the copier/scanner, and scanning is only in gray scale, not color. Also, this is a Windows-only machine; it is not Mac or Linux capable. Since this was a recent purchase, I can't comment on the longevity or price of a replacement toner cartridge.

The Sharp AL-841 is a good choice for someone who needs a light duty copier/printer for home or a small office.
