As practice shows, domesticthe buyer took almost a decade to understand that laser office equipment is not a luxury, but an excellent tool for performing tasks of any complexity in the home and working conditions. However, before potential buyers the next problem arose: how to choose the printer correctly, because there is a huge range of equipment on the market that has differences not only in functionality, but also in price.
The focus of this article is the HP LaserJet Pro MFPM125r. This multifunctional device is positioned in the world market as an inexpensive assistant for home and small business. The product is located in the budget price segment and focuses primarily on demanding customers who appreciate the convenience and versatility of office equipment.
HP products in the presentation do not need. Seeing the technique of this American representative before him, the user can a priori count on the high quality of the HP LaserJet Pro M125r MFP.
The description of any device always begins withpackaging. Here, a well-known world manufacturer has tried to do everything possible to surely please the user - a colorful box, an excellent protection from the impacts and falls of the equipment itself and a rich bundle.
A particular attention of users deservesprotect moving parts of the printer. Trying not to allow damage to the MFP during transportation, the company's technologists literally clapped the entire printer with adhesive tape. Yes, at the first acquaintance with the technology, judging by the feedback of users, even if there is a negative about this, however, it is this solution that guarantees the printing equipment against shocks during transportation.
Most buyers are not interested in externalbeauty printing equipment, and ease of use and functionality. Therefore, it's not surprising that when you get acquainted with the HP LaserJet M125ra MFP, many users note that the manufacturer has exceeded all expectations. It's better to start with the layout - the multifunctional device has really compact dimensions. In fact, the printer can be installed anywhere, and it definitely will not interfere with anyone.
As for the build quality, then here allusers expect a pleasant surprise. Let the MFP and is not protected from impact, but its body is still quite strong. During operation, it is impossible to break internal components by incorrect actions (cartridge installation, paper tray operation, scanner cover, control panel buttons).
Однозначно МФУ HP LaserJet Pro M125rnw is purchased by all users to perform basic tasks. It is about the printing properties of the device. Naturally, most of the potential buyers who have seen this product for themselves at home and small businesses are interested in the monthly printer load. This is where surprises begin for users.
Inexpensive device (approximate priceis ten thousand rubles) is capable of printing about 8-10 thousand pages per month. And this indicator is officially declared by the manufacturer. Typical at first glance, the MFP prints at a speed of 20 pages per minute at a maximum resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch. Such indicators are inherent in more expensive equipment.
The only negative to which pay attentionalmost all owners of the device - the lack of built-in duplex. The reader will agree that printing from both sides is always in demand not only in business, but also at home.
Multifunctionality to the device providesa flatbed scanner that has a standard A4 format and is equipped with a CIS-sensor. As practice shows, such devices are most in demand in the market of office equipment, because together with low cost they are able to demonstrate excellent results in work.
First, we are talking about image resolution atscan. It is 1200 x 1200 dpi. This indicator is more than enough to work not only with the text, but with a photo in color. The HP LaserJet Pro M125r cz177a MFP supports WIA and TWAIN standards, and accordingly, it can work without its own driver, giving control to specialized software. Hence the full compatibility of the printing device with any operating system.
Laser printer with built-in scanner isfull copy machine. To be more precise, the copier, in fact, in fact, "Xerox" - the same brand as HP. The stated characteristics of the printer and scanner will definitely lead the user to the idea that the copier can satisfy all his needs. However, the reader will have to be upset.
Manufacturer trying to reach maximumspeed in copying documentation, significantly reduced the resolution when scanning a document. As a result, instead of the expected 1200 x 1200 dpi, the user receives only 400 x 600 dpi. With these settings, the HP LaserJet Pro M125r MFP can create copies at a speed of twenty pages per minute, but some users have complaints about print quality when using scaling. It is not entirely clear to the owners of the device and the limitation of printing when copying documents — the device can produce only ninety-nine blueprints in one pass.
Many users have already noticed thatThe days are gone when the speed of a print was significantly affected by the performance of a personal computer. The situation has changed radically - now fast processing and printing are possible only if there are relevant components in the office equipment itself. We are talking about a powerful processor and RAM. The HP LaserJet Pro M125ra MFP is equipped with a crystal operating at 600 MHz and 128 MB DDR memory. As practice shows, this volume is quite enough not only for printing large files with graphic elements, but also for processing any print queue.
One could mention the possibility of a quickfont processing when printing, but PostScript printer is not supported at the hardware level. This is rather strange, because the multifunctional device is positioned as a product for a small business.
But the power of the HP LaserJet Pro M125r MFPconsumes like a real office representative. For full printing, 465 watts is required - a very large figure even for a laser printer. Do not like the owners and consumption in standby mode - 2.2 watts. On the other hand, when setting up a print job, the multifunction device starts working without hesitation.
As for the convenience of use, herethe manufacturer decided to help the owner cope with the MFP using the control panel and the liquid crystal display. In addition to the basic functions of the printer screen can report errors and display prompts. On the ergonomics of the printer in the reviews of the owners there is not a single negative opinion, and it really pleases.
If we talk about feedback, that is, andHP LaserJet Pro M125r MFP negative reviews. The cartridge supplied with the device is equipped with a proprietary chip that controls toner consumption and can block the printer. One hundred percent of users do not like such interference from the manufacturer, hence the negative. You can solve the problem in several ways - buy a new cartridge, install the “right” chip, or reset the lock on the printer by hardware.
The option of unlocking the chip is the most optimal, because it fixes the problem once and for all. In addition, the microcircuit is supported by any cartridge compatible with this device.
As practice shows, there are severalproblems with the HP LaserJet Pro M125r MFP The cartridge with the installed chip can be unlocked, but the built-in network adapter, which does not work correctly, cannot be repaired by its own. In this case, we are talking about the module Wi-Fi. It is clear that the manufacturer tried to make the use of the printer convenient, but the wireless module only damaged the well-known brand.
When you first start the printer is greatany device, without problems communicates and even prints a test page. But one has only to get out of the reach of Wi-Fi, and the partnership of devices is destroyed. The problem affects only mobile devices with the Android or iOS operating system. Owners of PCs with Windows installed should not be worried.
Multifunction devices such as HP MFPLaserJet Pro M125r, no wonder called the "workhorse." The fact is that an inexpensive product is able to cope with any task (printing, scanning, copying), and more than the owners of such devices do not need anything. You can, of course, find fault with Wi-Fi performance or start a discussion about the problems with the chip on the cartridge, but these are already second-hand problems that are not even taken into account in the budget class. And if we talk about more serious shortcomings, it is better to touch on the topic of two-sided printing at the hardware level, because this functionality is most in demand in the domestic market.
