I'm disappointed! When I see a tab (in a review article) titled "Specifications", I expect to be able to find out all the important specs for the reviewed printer (in this case the HL-5240). But what did I find? Nothing about whether it does auto-duplexing, no mention of number of trays or their capacity, no mention of languages (PS, PCL, etc) or whether it auto-switches between emulations. These are all important issues that affect buying decisions. If you don't want to capture these details in your online review pages, at least provide a link to the manufacturer's page so we can find the information somewhere.
Regards,
Daniel
