HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Multifunction Printer Review

Overview:

The HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Multifunction Printer is truly the quintessential middle of the road multifunctional printer. Its maximum print speed, price range, and performance specifications are all, across the board, incredibly average, making the unit a very well rounded machine suitable for a small business.

Pros:

By covering all its bases, the HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Multifunction Printer brings a very complete package to the table and is not particularly deficient in any one area. While specifications such as its print speed are not outstanding, they are at least substantial. Up to 25 pages per minute can be pumped out of this LaserJet when printing and copy speeds are the same.

The device even includes the basic hardware luxuries seen in most MFPs in this price range. These include a built in duplexor and network card. With built in wireless Ethernet capabilities, the HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Multifunction Printer can truly live up to its versatile potential by being shared across an entire workgroup of any size. Network users can even utilize the printer’s PC fax capabilities to send fax data right from their desktops.

With a built in 500 MHz processor, most internal tasks will be processed immediately while respectable copy and scan resolutions should keep document processing at a professional level. The device’s maximum copy quality Is a decent 600 x 600 dots per inch (more than enough for text) and the unit’s scanner can optically, and in color, capture imagery at qualities selectable up to 1200 dots per inch.

Cons:

The cost of the HP LaserJet Pro M1536DNF Multifunction Printer is slightly too high for a monochrome printer that does not really excel in any one particular area. The unit is, as stated repeatedly, very well rounded, but it Is also borderline boring in the sense that it simply does not do any one function in an outstanding way. It is the printer equivalent of a jack of all trades and master of none.

The device also has a curious lack of expandability options. Its 128 MBs of RAM cannot be upgraded to any degree, and its paper storage supply cannot exceed that of the limited amount that is provided. With a mere 250 sheet paper tray supplemented by a single sheet bypass slot, there are certainly businesses that would be interested in upping the storage space of this unit, but would be disappointed. Then again, the device’s low maximum monthly duty cycle keeps it from being an effective high volume printer anyway.
