Отзывы о МФУ лазерное HP Color LaserJet Pro M283fdw, цветн., A4

I was looking for good quality MFP in the 10k range and came across this model. HP name and its features were eye-catcher and I was able to finalize it soon.

I am using this MFP for more than a year and so far had no issues, be it printing or scanning or copier. P.S. I use only genuine HP toner in it, so it’s quite a deal.

HP 126nw, mark this nw in its name as it makes it super useful, giving it network capability in terms of LAN/Wi-Fi for both printing and scanning. This is really useful as you can keep it anywhere and print from virtually any location without any cable connected (other than power cable).

Setting it up, in general, is a breeze while the Wi-Fi scan is a bit complicated. I will list the steps to make it easy for you.
FYI, I got it from Cambium Retail seller.

PROS
•••••••
1. A wonderful multifunction device with laser printing.
2. Detailed control panel with 2 line LCD text display

4. Multiple connectivity options for print/scan. USB/LAN/Wi-Fi.
5. Set up anywhere, thanks to its Wi-Fi connectivity. Just a power source required.
5. Print using smartphone directly via Wi-Di i.e. Smartphone → Printer
6. Print using smartphone via network i.e. Smartphone → Router → Printer (Download HP print service plugin from app store)
8. It can be used as a standalone photocopy machine using the control panel with an extra double side photocopy feature for ID cards etc.
9. All photocopy related controls are available on panel, like one-touch photocopy button, no of copies, light-dark with 11 steps, reduce/enlarge, optimization, paper setting, etc
10. Tiltable control panel for easy access.
11. The good thing with a laser printer is that you don’t have to worry about drying ink or print head. I had 2 heads replaced in the earlier inkjet printer. So even if off for a month, laser one works instantly with the same good quality.

CONS
••••••••
1. Scan quality is not crisp. On full zoom, I find it slightly blurry. But in regular day to day scanning tasks, you won’t even notice it. So not a big deal.
2. No backlit LCD and it’s a pain to operate it without backlight unless you tilt it.
3. No ADF for scanning, so you need feed in every single page to be scanned separately. (But you can’t get everything in this range)
4. Initial warm-up time (power on to ready) is quite large, ~40 sec.

CONFIGURING IT FOR WIRELESS SCANNING & PRINTING BOTH
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
▶ WITHOUT WPS

The initial setup of this MFP directly via 'first-time wireless connection' option, does not enable scan via Wi-Fi. Only printing works. I will take you through steps to enable wireless scanning which is really very handy. It took me a lot of time to figure it out.
If already configured on network and you set it up via 2nd option, then scanning will work.

1. Power on MFP. Do not connect it via LAN cable or USB cable for now.
2. Use driver cd or download installer from the HP website. Run it.
3. Choose USB based setup. Follow on-screen instructions and complete it.
4. Again run the installer and now choose the 3rd option, first-time wireless connection. Follow on-screen instructions and complete it.
5. Now when you run HP scan utility, it will be able to communicate to MFP via Wi-Fi.
6. If you skip step 3 above, it won’t work and give communication error.

▶ WITH WPS

1. Power on MFP. USB or LAN cable is not required.
2. Press the Wi-Fi button on MFP to start the WPS connection.
3. Push the WPS button on your router.
4. Let it connect to the router. Once successful, the IP address will be displayed on LCD.
5. Now start setup and select 2nd option 'connect through the network'. It will search for the printer on the network.
6. Once found, select it and proceed.

FINAL VERDICT
•••••••••••••••••••
I am using it for more than a year and it never disappointed me in terms of usage, be it printing/scanning/copy task.

▶ This device, M126nw is highly suitable for general home usage where you don’t print every day or light to medium office work where you print/scan daily. You can very well go for it.

▶ There used to be another model m126a without network capability. If you can find it, you can save some bucks. But a few bucks more get you a good deal of value proposition with m126nw.

1) The copy quality of the printer is horrible, Scan quality is just ok and print quality acceptable.
2) It doesn't have led light in the display so its gonna be more difficult and annoying for you to operate this printer.

Model - M126nw. Pro-tip: Always buy an extra compatible toner with your new printer :)
My Quick Find outs are --- pros:
1. Compatible Toners easily available at just under 500 INR on Amazon so no worry about printing cost.
2. WiFi setup and wireless printing is extremely easy (by phone or laptops)
3. Using it as network printer atm (by LAN port in my small office)
4. Print quality is awesome 5/5 for that
5. Photo Copy /Xerox are so fine, get confused which one is original if I copy (if copy b/w)
6. Scanning quality is nice too.

Cons:
Some things to consider before buying this printer:
1. Unable to copy/scan large size of papers (legal size)
2. No back-lit in digital display screen

Warning: No backlight on the display. On a printer of this price, what's the problem in putting some leds at the back??
Another big warning: No flatbed in scanner. If you have 100 pages to scan, you need to do it one by one. A cheap 3k rupees printer does this.

No return option in Amazon unless there is a technical defect. Make your choice clear before buying. I would have returned it if I was allowed.

Not an good experience on Linux machine. Setup was not easy. I will couldn't connect it wirelessly. Need to run a ethernet from router.

Only Good thing is, it's prints very fast. If you just do printing alone and nothing else, you can consider this.

Fantastic Product. I haven't seen a better HP LaserJet Pro with such cool features. It has wifi, lan connectivity. I can print from my phone laptop any device wireless to the machine. And it shows up instantly. Moreover the whole setup process was a breeze. I would not have got a better HP Laserjet product with MFP capabilities at this price. Hats off!!

THE WORST PRINTER>
I'll keep it short.
PROS:
-Prints at a good speed and good and easy Printing. Get many pages from one Cartridge.
-Good for printing a huge pdf at once.
Cons:
-Wi-Fi range is a line of sight. If Laptop in another room it would take a long time to get the information of data to print.
- Blacks are not deep black, even if it's not on Eco mode.
- I have a dual router at home that is 5Ghz and 2.4 GHz for my internet. So when you using this on wifi, the printer will only connect to the 2ghz one. So you have to disconnect the internet on your device and connect to the Printer wifi and then print.
- Printing on wifi is a SLOW process. The times I needed to print something quick its never been able to just work.

If you using only for USB or cable only then it might be good.
- The scanner has been getting some black staining inside which doesn't reproduce the best quality scans.

In short, this is the last time I am purchasing HP as a printer brand.
The Fact that to print 1 page I have to go through so much, doesn't classify this a friendly printer at all.

This Printer is best suitable for the Office purpose who can use Monochrome (Black & White) color printouts.

PROS:
1. Best Print Quality.

2. Faster Printouts.

3. Scanning - Quality is Good.
NOTE: For getting the best scanning quality, we need to use the Software and Adjust the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST to get the Scanning with High Quality.

PRINTER's DEFAULT SCAN SETTING WILL GIVE YOU THE WORST SCANNINGS. SO, BEFORE SCANNING PLEASE MAKE SURE, YOU HAVE SET THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST IN THE HP PRINTER SOFTWARE.

4. Wifi - Connectivity - Best - Tested in Android Device through the App HP Service Plugin.

CONS:
1. Printer's Display doesn't have Back-Light. So it is very difficult to work in a dark environment. At this price range, they would have given the Back-Light for the Display.

2.Unable to Update Printer Software. Whatever the software which comes in CD will be usable. This is the hassle which I faced.

Print Quality :
Perfect print quality... don't know how many papers it I'll print...in printing reports it showing approxly 500 pages remaining to print...once the toner got over I'll update...

Packing :
I didn't expect from Amazon, that packing was worst condition since it was Amazon fulfilled...just they sticking the shipping label over HP box and sent to me...due to this product can be easily damaged

Installation :
Easy to install...use you tube videos to install...

WiFi:
Smart...very convenient
Appearance : bit older model
