Harga Toner Printer Hp Laserjet Pro M102a

The LaserJet Pro M127fw ($170) from HP offers all the basic features of a multifunction device at an entry-level price. The prints you’ll get are anything just entry-level, but the trade-off for loftier-quality output is tiresome operation.

Design

The iii-inch color bear upon screen on the M127fw promises easy stand-alone performance. There’s no control panel extending across the device offering physical buttons — just the touch screen. And that’s fine when the screen offers three icons and the selections are simple. Only when you enter a menu listing, the up/down arrows that announced on the right side of the screen make for clumsy navigation: The down pointer is perilously near the “close” push button, making it difficult to select. I wound up repeatedly closing menus past accident instead of navigating to the side by side page of carte selections.

The icons on the home screen practise not include a scanning function. You have to initiate that from a device running the HP software, such as a PC, smartphone or tablet. Similarly, faxing is probably best performed from a PC, considering that the M127fw lacks a 10-cardinal number pad.

The printer measures 16.v x 14.4 10 12.2 inches, without the input and output trays extended. You won’t want those trays hanging out into a high-traffic area. The snap-on input tray extension sticks out 4.25 inches from the front end and the fully extended output catch protrudes nearly 5 inches. Besides, y’all’ll desire a high clearance, because the platen lid does not have a hinge that will support its weight at low angles – you have to lift information technology well-nigh xc degrees for the lid to stand up on its own.

Print Speed

Printing speed is not the M127fw’south forte. The bright spot is text printing, which the M127fw performed at about the same boilerplate speed of 21.9 seconds for laser printers nosotros’ve tested. The M127fw printed a five-folio text document in 22.three seconds, or 13.5 ppm.

The model printed mixed text and graphics documents at a less impressive clip, printing our six-page document in 58.8 seconds (six.i ppm) — the slowest pace nosotros’ve tested. In fact, that’s 8.vii seconds slower than the next-slowest monochrome light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation model on this examination, the
Brother MFC-L2700DW. The category average is xl.vii seconds.

The M127fw did non impress a full-page photo chop-chop, either. At 23.7 seconds, it was the slowest time we’ve clocked, well short of the category boilerplate of 16 seconds. Our fastest model on this exam, the
Samsung M2070FW, spit out the same print at 600 dpi in less than one-half the time, in 10.8 seconds.

Yous can impress from an Android or iOS device, though the M127fw does not back up NFC. When trying to add the M127fw in the HP Print Service app, my Android phone could not detect the printer and I had to enter the printer’s IP address. As expected, printing from an Android smartphone was significantly slower than printing from a PC. It took the M127fw 19 seconds to print a one-page text certificate.

I like the way the HP Impress Service app works, which accompanies the M127fw. Rather than having to open a file within the app in order to print it, you can navigate to the file and open information technology in its native app. Then, you simply select the HP model equally the printer.

Re-create and Scan Speed

The M127fw did not redeem itself with its speed at making copies — arguably the 2d-most important office duty on a multifunction device. The M127fw copied our one-folio document in 14.3 seconds, or 4.2 ppm — the slowest time nosotros’ve recorded for a light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation printer on this test. The average is 10.7 seconds.

That may not seem like an agonizing discrepancy, and arguably information technology would not be if using the automatic certificate feeder (ADF) significantly sped upwardly the copy speed — which is typically the instance in our tests. For example, the speedy Catechism MF217w copied single pages at 6.9 ppm and our five-page document in just 22.3 seconds, or 13.4 ppm.

But the ADF on the M127fw is noticeably boring. Making a five-page copy took more 53 seconds, or 5.half-dozen ppm, which is barely faster than scanning the pages individually.

Scanning speeds were more impressive: The M127fw scanned a certificate in black-and-white as a 300 dpi PDF in 8.7 seconds, 2 seconds shy of the fastest time. (The boilerplate for laser printers is 11.2 seconds). The HP scanned a photo at 600 dpi to JPEG format in 37.eight seconds, which is roughly the category average of 37.1 seconds.

Impress Quality

The M127fw delivers top-notch print quality beyond the board. It printed text with razor-sharp edges and black-and-white graphics with smooth transitions and enough of detail.

Black-and-white copies retained most of the original’south detail, with sharp-looking text and attractive graphics. Even photographs looked quite accurate, with attractively smoothen midtone transitions (arguably the virtually difficult attribute of a photo to reproduce well).

Similarly, scans of a color photo on the M127fw looked attractive, but they lacked some details in shadow areas. Also, reds looked a little oversaturated, making for a slightly unnatural colour cast, such equally in the sky, which looked a shade purple. The comparably priced (and much faster) Canon MF217w made more natural-looking scans, without losing those shadow details.

HP’s M127fw has a simulated resolution mode called FastRes 1200, which is meant to amend details beyond 600 dpi, without existence able to print at a true 1200 dpi. However, in the photos I printed at FastRes 1200, I saw no visible increase in quality.

Ink/Toner Price and Yield

The toner cartridge for the M127fw is rated to impress 1,500 pages and delivers a toll per page of four.3 cents; the boilerplate is 4.2 cents for recently tested laser printers. The M127fw is not compatible with a loftier-yield cartridge, so in that location’southward no opportunity to reduce that ongoing toll, as you tin with the Canon MF229dw or the Brother MFC-L2700DW.

Setup

Setting up the M127fw is unproblematic. You lot just remove some strands of tape and cream, have out the toner cartridge to remove some protective plastic and slip it back into place.

Withal, this model is ho-hum to start upwards. At 36.5 seconds, the M127fw performed the slowest startup we’ve timed for laser printers. The boilerplate is 21.7 seconds.

Putting the M127fw on my wireless network was also piece of cake. I just pressed the WPS button on my wireless router and I was done. About 10 minutes after completing the installation, the browser on my PC launched with a splash screen inviting me to authenticate that my toner was indeed made by HP.

Software

The software included with the M127fw covers the basics for printing, scanning, copying and sending faxes. Separate Windows and Mac installation disks come up in the box. The scanning software saves to PDF and JPEG formats, and has presets for attaching each document blazon to an email. It does not take presets for scanning to a network binder or deject storage. Also, the scanning software does not perform optical character recognition (OCR) for converting a printed text certificate into an editable text file.

Lesser Line

The M127fw delivers high prototype quality across the board and average speeds when printing text. But slow graphics press, slow copying, and a wearisome ADF limit its versatility. If printing costs were lower than the boilerplate, the savings might go far worth the wait, but they aren’t.
