HP Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP Review

HP's Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP is a substitute with respect to the 9500 series and it is manufactured for substantial workgroups or maybe modest departmental usage. The basic unit - if you're able to call a 40ppm, A3, duplex, colour laser multifunction basic - could be added to with additional trays, staplers as well as finishers; so it can expand together with its environment in the event that requirements alter.

As you might anticipate, it is a large device, having a basic weight of 140kg, therefore you will need to get it set up and locate a place equipped with good access to the control panel along with the drawers. Anything crucial in the appliance is accessed from the front, although you may need to get at the sides in the event of a paper jam.

The widescreen, monochrome touch-screen was created to be simple to comprehend and makes good usage of icons along with a pragmatically fashioned menu structure.

Just about every little thing inside the control panel is actually customisable including the provided Jetadmin software. Privileges may also be arranged with regard to specific programs so, for example, you could put a stop to emails being printed in colour. The product additionally conveniently turns to mono print when it detects no colour throughout a page, whether or not colour is set as a print option.

Each one of the two 500-sheet paper trays can print to paper from A5 to A3 and the 150-sheet multi-purpose tray will go right down to A6. Two additional 500-sheet trays may be included and they also come as standard on the CM6040f MFP, this in addition provides direct fax built-in. Paper is generally fed to an output tray right under the scanner, however if you include finishing plus stacking options, a transfer unit moves pages over to these items.

The scanner includes a 50-sheet ADF installed on top and will scan simplex or duplex, although pages are mechanically turned and then re-fed to be able to scan their second sides - there is merely a single scan head inside the machine.

The multifunction comes with an 80GB hard disk drive fitted as standard, and is practically indispensable in order to buffer files, however it's also employed to permanently store typical documents, to allow them to be printed without needing to continuously send them from a Personal computer. Prints can be sent to the device and stored until a PIN is inserted at the keyboard.

HP estimates the print engine of the CM6040 MFP at 41ppm mono, thus we produced a mix of brief as well as longer documents with it, to test the statement. A five-page mono test print needed 29 seconds, as did the text and graphics job, offering real-world rates of speed of only just over 10ppm with regard to each. Raising the page count to 20 created a time of 51 seconds, comparable to a page speed of 23.5ppm, therefore you're going to need to make a big document so you can get near to 41ppm.

In duplex setting, the 20-side document finished in 58 seconds, so still more than 20spm, and additionally changing to A3 made five colour pages in 38 seconds. Although the printer is certainly no slouch, you ought to accept the rates on the spec sheet with much of the old NaCl.

The output quality from the four HP Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP printer toner cartridges is rather decent on text as well as colour graphics, with powerful, striking colours along with a gloss shine to all print, which we believe is classy, although viewpoints can vary. Photograph prints are a little bit grainy, yet colours are pure and there is a broad enough colour range to handle very subtle variations of hue.
