Best Multifunction Laser Printer: HP M277DW Colour Laserjet Pro

The HP M277DW is the latest MFP in HP’s range to use the JetIntelligence toner technology, and although it is the smallest in its class, this printer is big on performance.

Installation

HP’s ‘Instant On’ technology means that from the moment you plug in your new printer, it is print ready and waiting to be set up and put to work. The paper tray (located at the front of the printer) can comfortably hold 150 sheets of A4, but is also capable of handling multiple sizes – A5 and A6 for example – and multiple thicknesses.

There is no need to install apps on your PC, Laptop or mobile as wireless connectivity does the hard work. You simply need to let the printer discover your device, enter your WiFi password (if applicable) and hey presto! You’re all set and can begin sending documents to your hearts content. There other connectivity options – Ethernet and USB – but wireless is best to print from a range of devices.

The HP M277DW uses the HP 201X (CF400X series) of cartridges and these are readily supplied with your new printer. However, at almost £70 for an individual cartridge, the ongoing expense associated with this printer can be high. If you are on a budget, why not try our recycled original HP CF400X toners? Each one would give you a saving of over £30 without compromising quality or performance. Free next day delivery is also included so it’s definitely a saving worth considering!

Print, Scan, Copy Repeat…

An impressive feature of the HP M277DW is its speed; it is one of a few printers that prints quickly from sleep mode, and sending a document wirelessly is also a swift process. According to HP, print speed is 18 pages per minute, and judging by how fast it processed the numerous full colour A4 documents we sent, this is a printer that means business.

Faxing is fast and efficient, and scanning is straight-forward, giving you the option to send files to a network folder, email or USB. Some setting up is required in order to use these features, but the 7.6cm full colour touchscreen provides easy-to-follow instructions.

Environmentally Friendly

HP’s Auto On/Off Technology turns your MFP off when you don’t need it and on when you do. There is also the option for double-sided printing amongst other energy saving features, making this printer more accommodating for eco-conscious offices and home users.

Summary

This new generation of MFP has been built to provide superior speed and efficiency; qualities we can all appreciate in our increasingly busy lives. It really is ideal for those looking for a printer that does it all without taking up huge amounts of space, and in terms of a multifunctional printer that is both home and office friendly, print ready, and easy to set-up, the HP M277DW Colour Laserjet Pro comes highly recommended.
