The Home screen that you see in this Figure has five choices which are shown by large icons. They are: Copy, Scan, Fax, Memory Device, and Smart Solutions. Under those are five indicators: the Wireless indicator, the Eco-Mode icon, the one-sided or two-sided icon, the Setup icon, and the Ink Levels icon. The touch screen is responsive and redraws quite quickly.

The Genesis S816 has an auto-duplexer that can be seen on the back, as shown in Figure 11. On the left side of the duplexer is the USB port. On the right are the in-and-out telephone line ports.
