OVERVIEW
The unit comes wrapped in a plastic bag that has handles on each side. I was able to easily lift the printer up myself using the handles and took it to the desk.
The printer is missing some key features that do not make the printer cost effective. There is only one print tray. A fold out rear tray vertical tray is not even there. Having to constantly change paper size is an extreme inconvenience. There is no USB port to be able to print from or scan documents to a USB hard drive or directly from a camera, which is a disadvantage.
In addition, to utilize all the features a code needs to be scanned and or the H P app needs to be used. I did not like having to scan a code to set up and connect to wireless connection as well as using any of the scan features of email, network folder, computer, and share point, which makes the scan option useless. I had to download the HP app to set up the printer. When I was done I deleted the app. I do not want numerous apps on my devices.
I found not having a manual for the unit to be a disadvantage.
This is not a user friendly printer with all the code and app requirements. Using the web address on my laptop and phone, just gave me a link to the play store to download the app again, which I did not want.
The size of the display screen is small. At times I had to touch the menu button more than one time to get it to continue to the next screen.
The unit functioned well printing and scanning. I was able to print from the computer via wireless connection without using the app. The copy function does not require the app or show a code to scan to be able to continue.
The document feeder allows for quick copying and scanning, which is an advantage. The rollers did grab a one sheet copy job crooked and the copy was askew on the page which is a disadvantage. On best, the copy did not come out any better than normal. The copy images were a poor representation of the original. The copy images were more pix elated making them not as complete and crisp. In addition, the single color grey images were very pale and could barely be seen.
I did not sign up for HP instant ink, compatibility. I also disabled firmware updates.
