Great quality, easy to setup, mobile printing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Printers always give me anxiety; from having to set them up, to them not showing up on my mobile device, to crazy laptop software installations, there is always something that goes wrong. Not the case with this printer! I had the printer out of the box and set up to print in less than 10 minutes. I simply connected the included cord to the back of the printer and then plugged it in the wall. There’s a power button on the front, and after powering the printer on (it will take a little while the first time it is plugged in), it walked me through setting up the date and time, as well as offering the option to connect to my Wifi, which I chose.
The on screen keyboard to enter the WiFi password is definitely a little funky and I entered it incorrectly the first time so I had to start over, it was like texting on an old flip phone. But after the printer was connected to the WiFi, I checked my phone to print a test, and it immediately showed up in the list of printers available. Same thing with my laptop, just go to print something like you normally would, and then click “Add a New Printer” (or something to that effect, depending on what kind of computer you have), and it showed up. After clicking “Add”, it did some quick installation in the background which took less than a minute, and I was able to print from my laptop as well.
The printer did come with a Windows installation CD, but my laptop, and a lot of the newer laptops, don’t have spots for CDs, so I didn’t use this at all. The printer also comes with a detailed setup guide that is very effective at visually walking you through the process.
When setting the printer up, it offered the choice for a Remote UI setup, which I declined, but this would allow you to check the printer’s status from your web browser, as well as change settings. It also offered a toner replenishment service, which I declined as well, but if you manage an office where people are using this printer often, then that is definitely something that you should take advantage of.
The printer prints in black and white and comes with black ink and ready to print. This was another feature I appreciated, because my previous printers would come with color ink, and when all of the color ink was gone, I couldn’t print in black and white.
Would definitely recommend this printer for anyone who is looking for a black and white printer with no bells or whistles. It is basic, but prints quickly, is easy to set up, and connects easily to your home or office WiFi so that you can print from mobile or desktop quickly and easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful printer when you are just using something day to day and need to print out documents for home use. No streaking. Easy to set up and use. Surprisingly faster than I anticipated as well!

Great small office printer
on September 27, 2023
Posted by: Alex23
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great printer for a small office or at home/work from home office area. It prints very fast and consistently. The setup was pretty straight forward and the laser ink should last a long time between changes. I’m very happy with the printers size. It fits nicely into an area without taking up too much space. Over all it’s a great printer and I’m very happy with it.

Lasers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid printer and gets the job done. Installation on printers has gotten a bit more complicated with apps instead of a cable, but that clearly gives some mobility benefits. I wouldn't recommend any wireless printer for an older individual with limited computer skills unless they have someone to assist with setup. That being said, the benefits of not having to use a cord are quite nice. Prints fine. Uses lasers, so I'm fairly sure I could demolish it in times of an apocalypse and use it for home defense. So... That's nice.

A solid great quality printer
on September 26, 2023

from Atlanta, Ga
Gender:Male
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this printer for a few weeks and it has been terrific. It’s a solid printer with a toner that lasts a very long time. The fact that it does double sided printing is very useful. Also, everything was pretty straightforward to set up.

Great printer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this few weeks ago and have been using it frequently for my home office setup. I like the paper load tray is enclosed in. It gives a clean look and also keeps the papers from damage. The setup was very easy and intuitive. I have a. Wired connection from my PC as well as wireless setup from my laptop and smartphone. Printing from all the devices in the same network works great. The printer sounds smooth while printing, not too loud as some of my previous printers. The printing speed is pretty good and the print quality is on the spot. The on unit display screen is pretty intuitive as well.
