After unpacking I realize initially how compact (41.7 x 42 x 32,2cm) and relatively light (about 16kg) it is for a printer with this very ordinary business activities.
Also at the processing can not fault it - nothing creaks, the controls are processed sound, the feel total agrees. And he comes in chic white housing with gray applications and therefore!
The package includes
- Power Cable
- Telephone Line
- USB cable (2.0)
- Quick Start Guide for quick commissioning
- CD with detailed manual, installation wizard and some additional programs
- Toner cartridge (already installed)
- Power cord with UK plug (handy if you want to take him to London for sightseeing ;-)
Front panel includes the touch display with 3-inch size, to have all the functions and status messages at a glance, a USB port for quick printing directly from the stick as well as the on / off switch and of course the paper tray for up to 150 sheets in the lower part.
On the back, the other connections for power cable, fax cable, Ethernet and USB port are located on the computer.
The transmission of the pressure data can be done in several ways: via USB cable as well as printing via Ethernet, Wi-Fi / NFC or WiFi Direct Print. Whether and how all these functions ultimately wants to use, of course, everyone has to make up on the spot with him and his needs - I personally use only the USB cable.
The touch display is foldable, responds perfectly well to a light touch and even in strong sunlight can be seen it yet tidy. The menu system of the printer seems to be very well done and intuitive, so that I found myself immediately and manage the (incidentally very detailed) Manual did not have to try.
The important thing with a printer, of course, the print results - even in this case it makes a very good impression: He works quietly and prints a staggering 18 pages per minute with a maximum resolution of 600 dpi.
I have carried out the first printing tests using both text documents and photographs, and the printed image is both in color and in black and white absolutely convincing. The HP also has a duplex function - ie printing on both sides of pages. This feature I previously knew only from the major professional models, as found in open-plan offices.
For proofs provides HP an Eco mode for the conservation of the toner available - of course this is suffering the print quality, but I find this option very convenient for prints that are must have the optimum quality, for example. Print invoices.
There is also the possibility to send printouts of smartphone or tablet to the printer - either via app or even the aforementioned "Wi-Fi Direct". Certainly, in some situations a practical matter, as I am often with tablet on the Web, and so sometimes a recipe or something similar can bring fixed and directly to paper. The copy function can convince in speed and quality: I could make 12 color copies and 18 black and white copies per minute.
Also clean and fast the HP works when scanning documents and images, I use the "Scan to Email" and "Scan to USB" functions especially convenient personally find. The maximum scanning resolution is 1200 dpi in the way, what a proud value is already for a device in this price league.
My conclusion: The MFP M277dw of Hewlett Packard is a stylish and compact printer / scanner / copier - combi for private and professional use and comes up with a wide range of functions on. The excellent print / scan quality and cleaner processing at a moderate price make it a real recommendation.
