Product description Boost your office's productivity with the fast printing, scanning, copying, and faxing features of the OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Inkjet Printer from HP. This Instant Ink Ready printer boasts ISO print speeds of up to 20 ppm in black and 11 ppm in color, as well as a resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi for sharp documents and photos. A draft mode is available as well, boosting speeds to 30 ppm in black and 26 ppm in color. Also, users will be able to use automatic duplexing for printing, scanning, and copying thanks to the implementation of a 35-sheet automatic document feeder, which can handle paper up to 8.5 x 14".

General paper handling is provided by a 225-sheet input tray, which will work with most paper types. A 2.65" CGD touchscreen provides an intuitive method for viewing status and changing settings. Also, a USB port is located on the front of the printer for printing from or scanning to a portable drive.

Additionally, this printer will last a long time with its rated monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages. - HP Instant Ink Program
