Print finishes are either matte or gloss and do not require different media types.
The ergonomics of the CX-02 are brilliant, a front-loading door allows for easy media changes. The ribbon is loaded onto a tray, while the spindles are attached to the paper, the whole change takes a matter of seconds.
The power switch is located at the back of the printer, with USB and Power connections also on the back.
