Draw Backs: Paper drawers only capable to to 110lb and looks like the by-pass will take 140lb, however the by-pass will only hold 100 sheets of 28lb bond. Thus you may only get 30 or so sheets of sheets of 140lb to stack in the by-pass. Also specs for booklet finisher are vague on the brochure, there is no statement of max paper weight and if the booklet finisher can wrap a thick cover. Another item on the booklet maker is with an 11-15 page booklet it will only produce a max of 10 booklets at a time

Plus: Wow, I love the retractable keyboard! Nice feature....also comes standard with a 150sheet document feeder (another plus). Scan speed of upto 70 image per minute is also impressive.
