HP M127fn Printer Review

The HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn is a fully-equipped multifunction laser printer without the extra bulk. It can print up to 35 pages per minute and handle faxing, copying, and scanning, but it is still suited to fit on a table or desktop surface. The small capacity of HP M127fn printer toner supplies will make it a bit expensive to operate, however.

The M127 series includes several models. The M127n is the most basic, with networking capabilities. The M127fn adds faxing, and the M127fw adds wireless networking. For those who don't need wireless capabilities, however, the M127fn is a great middle ground, and its lower price will save buyers some money.

The automatic document feeder can quickly scan up to 35 pages in a batch, which makes the scanning feature that much more useful. A flatbed scanner is available for irregular media as well. The main paper tray holds only 150 sheets, and the pages are not covered, which could lead to problems with dust.

As a bridge between the consumer world and the business world, the M127fn also supports mobile printing standards like Apple's AirPrint. With HP's own ePrint platform, users can simply send an email to a specific address, and it will begin printing immediately, even from a remote location. This can be a very handy feature for having pages waiting when you return home.

Replacement toners are the big drawback, as each HP M127fn toner cartridge can only supply around 1,000 pages. Busy users will find themselves replacing the LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn toner cartridge very often, as a result, and prices are a little high. Using the scanning feature for digital workflows will help use less HP M127fn toner and paper, but this won't be a great solution for all users.

The speed and features buyers get for the price of the M127fn is impressive, and mobile printing options are icing on the cake. The high cost of LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn toner will take its toll on the budget, however, making its competition a little more appealing.
