HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Review

The HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf has an extremely compressed footprint for a mono laser multifunction. Though it provides a compact size upon the workplace, it makes up for this through being tall.

The device is supplied with a 35-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) on the top of its scanner lid and this lid hinges up as standard. The control panel is efficiently made having a 2-line by 16-character mono LCD display, three indicator lights, a numeric pad designed for typing in fax numbers and a selection of 11 other buttons to manage menu navigation, scan and also copy variables. The paper input tray folds down from the front panel of the device and HP gives you a paper stop extender should you would like to insert shorter paper. The machine can take anything from 76 x 127mm up to something more than A4. Paper feeds to an angled paper rest on top of the input tray. There isn't any cover for the input tray. At the backside are sockets for the purpose of USB 2.0, Ethernet and for phone line and an optional third-party handset.

HP supplies drivers for Windows and also OS X plus information for Linux customers is provided at www.hplip.net. There's the HP Toolbox applet along with a TWAIN driver for the scanner, but generally support software is pretty minimal.

HP quotes remarkably reasonable numbers with regard to the LaserJet Pro M1212nf, that includes a best speed of 18ppm. Our five-page text document delivered 11.2ppm and the five-page text and graphics registered 13.5ppm. When we printed the 20-page document the pace rose still further to 16ppm, within a smidgen of the stated speed. A single-page copy through the flatbed required 15 seconds and additionally a five-page copy coming from the ADF required 50 seconds. Lastly, a 15 x 10cm photo print upon A4 paper came through in an outstanding 11 seconds.

Paper curl is especially noticable in the LaserJet Pro M1212nf and sheets end up upon the output tray having multistage bends. Paper in addition feels extremely high to touch, in the event that you take out a document straightaway. After a couple of hours, most of the curl has vanished, but using this device might still be awkward if you're printing a number of copies of the document right before a meeting.

Text print quality on the default 600dpi is a good deal more than satisfactory and there aren't any indications of jaggies or toner spatter. Changing to Economode, which will will save toner yet very little print time, still creates legible text and might help you save money on consumables.

Greyscale graphics seem a little spotty, especially in mid-greys, however there are many distinctive tones to differentiate in between colours in originals. A photocopy of a greyscale print makes terrible blotchiness and takes a lot of darker greys to black, hence rendering superimposed text unreadable.

There is merely a sole HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf printer cartridge to consider with this particular machine and it is offered in only one capacity of 1,600 pages.

The LaserJet Pro M1212nf is actually a good, general-purpose, mono laser all-in-one. It's neat as well as reliable, and priced nicely taking into consideration it incorporates fax. The print quality might be better on greyscales, especially in copies, nevertheless speed is fine and the device is extremely simple to maintain.
