Once you’re selected the best color laser printer for your purposes, you’ll want to turn your attention to setting it up. Connecting a wired printer using printer cables is relatively easy, presuming you select the right type and length of
cable to meet your needs. On the other hand, connecting a wireless printer is not necessarily difficult, but does present more of a challenge, primarily because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, connection depends on the model of printer you choose, and whether you want to connect it to a
network, to one or more individual computers, or directly to a device like a
tablet or smartphone. Easy to follow instructions are included with every color laser printer purchase. It’s also important to consider that a color laser printer uses
toner. More specifically, it uses four toner cartridges, one cartridge each for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. You’ll know it’s time to replace your toner cartridges when you get an onscreen alert, or see a status indicator light on your printer.
