Key Features of the HP Color Laser MFP 178nw
The HP Color Laser MFP 178nw A4 Colour Multifunction Laser Printer is a practical printer with three operations (printing, scanning, and copying) that can let you work on your project without difficulty. It doesn’t take up a lot of space thanks to its small size, so you can put it almost anywhere.
Well-connected
Depending on your preferences, it has Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and an Ethernet connector. It’s also ideal for small workgroups because you can operate it with your smartphone using AirPrint and Mopria. You might want to look at downloading the HP Smart Print app, which makes printing and scanning documents from the cloud more easier. On the back, there’s also a USB connector for printing from a flash drive.
Text and image quality are excellent.
This printer, which can print both black and white and colour documents and photographs, has superb technology that produces exact output with a resolution of up to 600 x 600 dpi. Scanning uses the same resolution as printing. It can also print monochrome pages at up to 19ppm and colour pages at up to 4ppm. Its printed text is precise and crisp, with well-defined edges, and the printer’s colours are vibrant and bold, allowing you to print images.
Exceptional functionality
This model is the smallest colour laser printer in its class, making it ideal for small offices. It’s a sophisticated device that’s surprisingly easy to use, with foldable flaps, an extensible paper tray, and smooth scanning levers. It boasts a 150-sheet input capacity and a 50-sheet output capacity, as well as a two-line LCD display with pointer for easy operation. It has a manual duplex mode that allows you to print on both sides of the paper when printing on one side.
