Pantum CM1100DW Colour Laser Multifunctional Printer

The Pantum CM1100DW is an upgraded version of the CP1100, designed for small offices and businesses that need efficient color printing, copying, and duplex functionality. Unlike the CP1100, this model includes Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, making it a better choice for multi-user environments.

Its automatic duplex printing, faster copying speed, and expanded connectivity options make it more versatile while still being affordable for its category.

Performance & Speed

The Pantum CM1100DW is equipped with a 1GHz processor and 1GB RAM, ensuring smooth operation and efficient processing of print and copy tasks.

• Print speed:

  • 18 pages per minute (ppm) for A4
  • 19 pages per minute (ppm) for Letter-sized paper
  • Duplex (double-sided) print speed: 6ppm for both A4 and Letter
    While the single-sided print speed is decent, duplex printing is slower, making it less ideal for heavy double-sided printing.

• Copy speed: 18ppm

  • Maximum 99 pages per copy job – suitable for small batch copying.

The addition of a copier makes it a more functional option for offices needing basic document duplication.

Print Quality & Paper Handling

• Paper capacity:

  • 250-sheet input tray – Reduces the need for frequent refills.
  • 100-sheet output tray – Keeps printed documents neatly organized.

• Monthly print volume:

  • Maximum: 30,000 pages – Durable enough for high-demand environments.
  • Recommended: 300-1,500 pages – Ideal for small businesses and personal use.

• Automatic Duplex Printing – A major upgrade from the CP1100, allowing automatic double-sided printing, saving paper and costs.

Connectivity Options

One of the biggest improvements in the CM1100DW over the CP1100 is better connectivity:

✅ Hi-Speed USB 2.0 – Traditional wired connection for stable printing.
✅ 10/100Base-TX Ethernet – Allows network printing for multiple users.
✅ Wi-Fi – Enables wireless printing, making it more flexible.

🚀 Wireless printing makes it a better choice for office environments where multiple users need access without USB cables.
