The 35-page ADF on the imageCLASS MF4270 MFP allows one-sided to two-sided copying, printing and faxing and is equipped with a 250-sheet front-loading paper cassette that is neatly concealed in the bottom of the unit. The device is capable of copying up to 8.5 inches x 14 inches (legal) from the ADF or letter-sized using the platen glass or ADF. For optimal speed when printing and scanning, imageCLASS MF4270 MFP provides a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interfaceii. The device also offers network connectivity through the 10/100Base T network.
