The device is extremely fast in the office printing.
We use the unit for about 6 months and have 30,000 pages printed.
It makes Odent wheel, which at 70 pages per minute but probably inevitable inevitably.
The paper is racing so fast through the printer that you can barely keep up with the removal if you want to produce a 10-sided form letter with a circulation of 100 sets, for example.
The output tray is it, then quickly to congestion, because it is much too small for the throughput and / paper trays. When the tempo is it then also to chaos.
The successor should be a much larger and more reliable output tray HP.
The 576dw can also copy (W and color), which runs perfectly.
Should only copy Double-sided one run with caution.
The fax functions are perfect and also allow diversions of eigehenden faxes on a server as a Tiff or PDF, on a mail server or another fax number. In addition, you can lock Faxspammer effective :-)
The 576dw is also a spacious office scanner. You can create as mailboxes and then without a PC in these destinations Scan to PDF for example, there's lay directly on the device many destinations on a server.
The 576dw "eats" this whole file folders in a short time.
It also automatically detects different formats in a batch scan.
The paper should, however, smooth and min. 80 gr / m² have, otherwise there is the feeder quickly trouble.
The double-sided scanning is done with an automatic turning operation of the sheet because the 576dw unfortunately has only one scan line :-(.
This duplex scanning feature is in operation even at 80 gr paper solved badly. It meets regularly to jam and the turning mechanism wound paper.
Here, a grown man can not help with normal-sized hands almost self!
The scanner paper output is so narrow that you can not engage in the slot by hand. So you have to then help with rulers or grill tongs to loosen the jam. That's a real bad planning.
The complete scanning solution is therefore questionable in the office operation. In such a device a duplex scan line belongs without turning device with a straight paper path. Blank pages should not end up in the PDF automatically.
In addition, the feeder automatically just need to draw what the 576dw can not.
If one scans eg all vintages of account statements, you need a child to empty the output tray.
The online functions I have switched off, which is not quite so simple.
HP is a standard e-print and apps, as well as IPv6 and WLAN one before, but that date can not get from a selectable time server.
Why do you need an office printer is a possibility that you send via mail or Handyapp on this printer through an HP-proxy (Privacy ?!) and then prints unattended?
Why do you need an office printer, the possibility of continuous monitoring by HP?
The 576dw wants to inform as default HP all functions of the device and prefer also order the same print cartridge and deliver. Where here is the privacy of the clients? You can turn off these functions only through its own web function of 576dw, which should be by default already so.
My suspicions about such practices is not new PRISM and the NSA scandal. Especially US companies should respect the rights of German customers here and no spy functions in the device active switch, only the really curious customer encounters in the device via browser on the menus at random.
Sometimes nothing works and the display will flash wildly ?!
A firmware update is the HP on the server and should be imported. (Very easily)
This causes no remedy. So just make energized, wait 10 seconds and plug in again.
(The "Russian method" helps :-))
The printer is therefore actually almost perfect for everyday office use. Excellent!
For high-quality photo printing, the device is not intended here you should have an alternative. That's OK!
The scanner is not really adapted to the above-average performance of the printer. Goes so!
The app and spy functions are a gateway for data breaches. Bulls ***!
The energy savings are enormous compared to a laser MFC. Excellent!
There is no ozone smell more. Excellent!
Currently, the device is the solution for fast wirtschaftslichste office printing with fax, copier and scanner in high-speed color printing.
HP should the software and firmware revise (01.22.2014) and the malfunction on the display as well (choose freely !!) complete a Time Server. You can create and save a backup of the configuration. However, this function works in practice not (or only to the IE / Chrome?). Please fix!
Data protection should be noted. Each user should be clear about what the unit could pass everything with a telephone, Wi-Fi hotspot and LAN port for Internet.
If in doubt you have to do a port scan in your own LAN and disable the spy functionality of HP in our own switch or router. A modern office printer must not mutate into a Blockwart Zombie.
