Editorial note

The Panasonic KX-MB2130 is a multifunction printer that stands out for its laser printing technology, offering optimal print quality with a maximum resolution of 600 x 600 DPI. With a printing speed of 26 pages per minute, it proves efficient for handling daily printing volumes. Additionally, its built-in duplex printing function helps optimize paper usage, contributing to a more economical and eco-friendly approach. However, this device has some drawbacks. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits wireless printing options, which may be a drawback for users who prefer a cable-free setup. Furthermore, the fax memory of only 3 MB may not be sufficient for the storage needs of important documents, and the 2-line LCD screen, while functional, can make navigating the menus less intuitive. Finally, with a weight of 12 kg, the printer's mobility may pose a problem for those who wish to move it frequently. In terms of performance, the Panasonic KX-MB2130 scores solidly, notably an 80 for its printing performance. However, its scanning and copying speed, also at 26 ppm, may not satisfy users with very high printing demands. The design of the device is modern and compact, which fits well into various work environments, even if its weight may limit this integration. In summary, the Panasonic KX-MB2130 offers good value for money considering its features, but some limitations such as reduced fax memory and the absence of Wi-Fi may restrict its appeal to certain users.
