Each device also features a USB 2.0 port and Ethernet ports and are Mac and PC-compatible.

The D1150, D1170 and D1180 feature 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax capabilities and network PC faxing. The D1170 and D1180 add the ability to send documents through e-mail, SMB and USB memory, and the D1180 adds PCL 5e/6 support.
